Jayalakshmi singing Bahut (a lot) pyar (love) karte (doing) hain (is). Subject Object Verb language


It is a nice song so I checked on it. It is from the Movie Saajan starring Sanjay Dutt, Madhuri Dixit and Salman Khan
 
Madhuri Dixit in the movie sung by Anuradha Paudwal (sounds like Lata Mangeshkar)

This song came about after Sanjay Dutt (Aman) finds out about Saagar's fan named Pooja (Madhuri Dixit) and lets her know that Saagar is young and lives with him but afraid to reveal himself as Saagar (poet) as he is lame and don't want to lose her. She in her happiness as a singer then sings this song to Saagar indicating her love for the poet even though she has not met him.

In real life Madhuri has an affair with Sanjay even though he was married and broke it off when he got arrested. There are reports Sanjay whose mother is the famous actress Nargis and a Muslim has connections with Pakistani terrorists. His father is Sunil Dutt, a Hindu and also a famous actor.

The movie is similar to the movie Cyrano de Bergerac

In the Indian version Sanjay Dutt is the lame poet. Salman Khan is the handsome playboy and the role of Roxanne is Madhuri Dixit

Synopsis:

A major chunk of the Indian movies are love stories and the idea of love triangle has also been hackneyed so much that now-a-days hardly any filmmaker must be pondering over it for his next venture. However if I have to make a list of love-triangles made in bollywood, Saajan will be my numero uno in that list.

I don't know whether the story idea was original or borrowed from somewhere else, however it worked excellently and built the premise of a sentimental love story in which the element of sacrifice became prominent between the two male protagonists who, by default, became the reluctant rivals of a girl's love. Kader Khan and his wife, Reema adopt the handicapped orphan friend Aman (Sanjay Dutt) of their son Aakash (Salmaan Khan) and foster him like their own son, showering love upon him even more than their own son. Besides, Aakash also keep Aman's friendship above everything else in his life. However Aman finds himself burdened by their obligations within his heart. He is a Shaayar (Urdu poet) and gets published under the pen name of Saagar. A middle class girl Pooja (Madhuri Dixit) who runs a book shop to make a living for herself and her mother Anjana Mumtaz in Ooty, becomes his fan and maintains contact with him through letters. Aakash, on the other hand, becomes a womanizer, not giving a damn for the real love. To take care of their new project of constructing a hotel in Ooty, Aman reaches there and comes across Pooja. Pooja befriends him when he tells her that he knows Saagar personally and he promises her to manage her meeting with him. He sees that Pooja loves Saagar. Gradually he also falls in love with her but without expressing his feelings to her.

The story takes a twist when Aakash reaches Ooty and falls for Pooja upon the very first encounter. When Aman comes to know of his love for Pooja, he decides to sacrifice his love to pay the obligations of his fostering family and he introduces Aakash to Pooja as Saagar. Pooja starts loving Aakash but under the false impression of himself being her Saagar. With the passage of time, Aakash comes to know that Aman himself is Saagar and he loves Pooja too within his heart. He immediately understands that Aman is trying to repay the obligations of himself and his parents through this sacrifice. Now it's his turn to sacrifice for his friend and he gets the lovers united.

Saajan is the first directorial venture of the cinematographer-turned-director Lawrence D Souza and his uses his cinematographic excellence to the hilt while directing this emotional drama. The different camera angles catching all the three main protagonists in a single frame. depicting their mutual relationships, their inner feelings and the peculiar equations between them is simply marvellous. Besides, the picturization of songs like Bahut Pyar Karte Hain Tumko Sanam and Jiyen To Jiyen Kaise is nothing short of outstanding. This movie is definitely a marvel of cinematographic technique and those movie buffs who have seen it on the big screen are definitely fortunate.

Another very big highlight of Saajan is the exceedingly marvellous music composition of Nadeem Shravan who were in top form those days and the lyricists Faiz Anwar and Sameer have given them excellent support. Only for one song, Bahut Pyar Karte Hain, I know that it's a copy of a non-filmi Nazm - Bahut Khoobsoorat Hai Mera Sanam. For the rest, I give full marks to this music team which includes Anuradha Paudwal, Alka Yagnik, S.P. Balasubrahmanium, Kumar Sanu and of course, the legendary Ghazal singer - Pankaj Ud-haas (Jiyen To Jiyen Kaise Bin Aapke) also. The music album of Saajan is an all time hit and even today, listening to these songs renders a soothing feeling to the listener's heart.

The movie should have been trimmed by at least 20-25 minutes. Otherwise the direction is marvellous, production value is high, the beauty of Ooty has been captured in superb way (especially in the song - Mera Dil Bhi Kitna Paagal Hai Jo Pyar To Tumse Karta Hai) and the narrative flows smoothly, carrying the audience effortlessly with it.

Performances are highly admirable. For Madhuri's dance number - Tu Shaayar Hai Main Teri Shaayari, both the choreographer and Madhuri deserve huge clappings. One of the great dancing queens of the Indian silver screen, Madhuri has acted well too. However the movie mainly belongs to the male leads. Sanjay Dutt has delivered the performance of his life-time in this movie and I am sorry to see that he did not win any award for his intense role, marvellously performed. Salmaan Khan has performed brilliantly in his Casanova role as well in the role of first a true (but irresponsible) lover and thereafter a sincere, sacrificing friend. The climax belongs to Salmaan only and he provides a memorably touching end to the story. The ending scene is able to move the sensitive audience. Among the supporting cast, Ekta as the arrogant society girl who genuinely loves Salmaan, Kader Khan as the boys' father, Reema as their mother, Anjana Mumtaz as Madhuri's mother are perfect. Laxmikant Berde and Dinesh Hingoo have done good comedy. I also appreciate Raja Duggal for his cameo as Babulal, the owner of the tea shop in Ooty.

Saajan is a treat for the romantic people who like emotion-filled mature romance. It was a blockbuster and I bet it may again prove to be a blockbuster if re-released. It has immense repeat value and can be watched any number of times for the visual as well as audio satisfaction provided by it to the viewers to their hearts' content.

In this song Sanjay Dutt imagines a romantic scene

Mera (my) dil (heart) bhi (also) kitna (very much) pagal (crazy) hai (is)


meraa dil bhii kitanaa paagal hai
my heart is so very crazy

ye pyaar to tum se karataa hai
that it is in love with you

par saamane jab tum aate ho,
but whenever you come in my sight

kuchh bhii kahane se Darataa hai
it is afraid of saying anything

o mere saajan, mere saajan, saajan saajan, mere saajan
O my love, my love, darling darling, o my love

meraa dil bhii kitanaa paagal hai
my heart is so crazy

kitanaa isako samajhaataa hoon
I try hard to make it understand

kitanaa isako bahalaataa hoon
i try so hard to reason with it

naadaan hai kuchh na samajhataa hai,
is innocent, doesn't understand anything

din raat ye aahen bharataa hai
keeps sighing night and day

meraa dil bhii kitanaa paagal hai
my heart is so very crazy

har pal mujhako tadapaataa hai,
every moment it totures me

mujhe saarii raat jagaataa hai
keeps me awake whole night

is baat ki tumako khabar nahiin,
you may not be aware of this

ye sirf tumhii pe marataa hai
It only craves for you

meraa dil bhii kitanaa paagal hai
my heart is so very crazy

The original singers Kumar Sanu and Alka Yagnik sing the first few stanzas of 'Mera dil bhi kitna pagal hai'

 
Bahut pyar karte hain (male) with Salman Khan (Akash) as playboy lip-synching.

Sanjay (Aman) seeing that Akash has fallen in love with Pooja (Madhuri) decides to forego his love and fulfills his obligations to Akash's family for taking him in and adopting him as Akash's brother. He introduces Akash as Saagar the poet Pooja loves. This song was meant to answer her song of love for Saagar.


It is sung somehow 'weird' either the singer sings that way or directed to create 'strangeness' to make the playboy less desirable.

After Pooja (Madhuri) accepts Akash as Saagar she goes deep into Saagar's quotes which Akash has no idea as Salman Khan's acting in this awkward situation made him a star as he squirms through it but eventually saved by Sanjay (Aman). Akash explains his blank mind was due to Pooja's beauty. (It works all the time, no?)

Salman Khan and Madhuri Dixit made a box-office hit movie Hum Appke Hain Koun


This is a funny scene. It is a bridal gathering for females. Mathuri's older sister is getting married to Salman Khan's older brother. This like a bridal shower or something where advice, knowledge and teasing are directed at the bride-to-be. Salman is a peeping tom as he wants to see what is going as he is after Madhuri here.

Movie Saajan

Sanjay (Aman) meets Pooja (Madhuri) in her bookstore and Pooja is extolling Saagar to Sanjay who pretends not knowing Saagar. She gives him a discount if he buys her books by Saagar from 40 rupees to 30 rupees which he accepts.

 
Akash while chasing some girls turns around and bumps into Pooja as she was walking behind with her bicycle. He falls on her and they stare at each other. She is shocked and angry while he is smitten at seeing such a beautiful girl. She coldly tells him to get off. On righting themselves she walks off in a huff while Akash is in a daze at his good fortune and mesmerized by her beauty.

In the meantime Aman (Sanjay) planned to have Pooja meet Akash at his home not expecting Akash's reaction to her but assuming a platonic relationship. Akash reacts wildly when he sees Pooja at his home.


Now Aman realizes Akash is smitten with Pooja and makes the hard decision to accepts life's lesson i.e. life is not fair and has to give up Pooja.
