As a cinephile who’s spent countless hours immersed in the vibrant world of Bollywood, I must say that these two films, God Tussi Great Ho and Om Shanti Om, each offer a unique perspective on life, love, and the pursuit of happiness.
Ever since I first saw Salman Khan and Priyanka Chopra sharing the silver screen, I’ve been hooked! Their captivating performances and undeniable chemistry have left an indelible mark on me – and countless other fans. From lighthearted laughs in comedies to heart-wrenching drama in romantic films, this dynamic duo has delivered a mesmerizing blend of stories that continue to resonate deeply. Let’s revisit four unforgettable films showcasing their exceptional partnership:
4 Salman Khan and Priyanka Chopra movies that showcase their sparkling charm
1. Mujhse Shaadi Karogi
- Cast: Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar, Priyanka Chopra, Amrish Puri, Supriya Karnik
- IMDB Rating: 6.7/10
- Release year: 2004
- Genre: Drama, comedy, romance
- Where to watch: Amazon prime video
As an ardent admirer, I can’t help but rave about the timeless charm of “Mujhse Shaadi Karogi.” This comedy gem never fails to tickle my funny bone and warm my heart with its engaging narrative. The story revolves around me, or rather, Sameer Malhotra (Salman Khan), a spirited lifeguard in Goa whose fiery temper has long wreaked havoc on his romantic pursuits. However, when I stumble upon the radiant beauty of my neighbor, Rani Singh (Priyanka Chopra), I find myself convinced that I’ve finally stumbled upon true love.
Rani, an emerging fashion designer, appears to return his affections, but her hesitancy and adherence to her parents’ opinions lead to complex situations. Meanwhile, when it seems that things are improving for Sameer, his optimism is shaken by the arrival of Sunny – a long-time friend who brings an additional dose of trouble to the love triangle.
The movie’s engaging storyline is made even more enjoyable by a well-known soundtrack filled with timeless tunes like “Jeene Ke Hai Chaar Din,” “Laal Dupatta,” and “Mujhse Shaadi Karogi.” These tracks continue to be beloved among fans, embodying the energetic vibe of the film.
To this day, Mujhse Shaadi Karogi continues to captivate audiences with its timeless appeal, providing an entertaining mix of humor, love, and melodies that can be re-watched countless times by viewers.
2. Salaam-E-Ishq
- Cast: Salman Khan, Priyanka Chopra, Anil Kapoor, Govinda, Juhi Chawla
- IMDB Rating: 5.2/10
- Release year: 2007
- Genre: Drama, comedy, romance
- Where to watch: Amazon prime video, Zee 5
Salaam-E-Ishq was the second directorial venture for Nikkhil Advani following Kal Ho Naa Ho. This romantic drama, pioneering as the first Hindi film to be screened digitally, boasted a stellar cast and drew mixed responses. However, the performances were particularly lauded.
In the movie, Priyanka Chopra portrays Kamini Ranawat, a driven actress who was formerly known as Kamna from Dehradun. Eager to break free from her ‘item girl’ label and impress renowned director Karan Johar, she transforms herself into a glamorous Bollywood queen. In a daring publicity stunt, she creates a love story, declaring her affection for a mysterious man named Rahul. Not long after, a man in London, purporting to be Rahul Khanna (Salman Khan), appears, pretending to be her long-lost sweetheart from childhood.
As a lifestyle advisor, I’d put it this way: To keep up appearances and land my coveted movie role, I reluctantly played along with Rahul’s charade. But things took an unexpected twist when Rahul confessed his genuine affection for me, back when I was still known as Kamna. Caught between my ambition and these fresh emotions, I initially chose the path of fame. However, once I found myself unable to shake off feelings for Rahul, I walked away from the film deal and rushed to profess my love at a wedding. The story ends with me and Rahul reuniting, cherishing our renewed love.
3. God Tussi Great Ho
- Cast: Salman Khan, Priyanka Chopra, Amitabh Bachchan, Anupam Kher
- IMDB Rating: 3.7/10
- Release year: 2008
- Genre: Drama, comedy, romance
- Where to watch: Amazon prime video
On August 15, 2008, I found myself utterly captivated by the whimsical comedy “God Tussi Great Ho,” directed by Rumi Jaffery. This cinematic gem was loosely based on a timeless folk tale about a Brahmin lad. The movie had a production budget of Rs 21 crores and featured none other than Salman Khan as Arun Prajapati, a disgruntled TV host who frequently cast blame upon the heavens for his unending string of misfortunes, and Priyanka Chopra as Alia Kapoor, a thriving news anchor whom I couldn’t help but admire from afar.
As Rocky, an engaging competitor, joins the team as the new anchor and captures not only his position but also Alia’s affections, Arun’s life takes a turn for the worse. A chain of unfortunate events escalates Arun’s resentment towards the divine, culminating in a confrontation with the Supreme Being. In an unexpected plot twist, God bestows upon Arun supernatural abilities for a brief period, daring him to demonstrate his capability to manage the world more effectively.
Equipped with these newly acquired abilities, Arun embarks on a journey to resolve his issues, reclaim his position, embarrass Rocky, and capture Alia’s affection. Yet, his choices to fulfill everyone’s desires—even those of criminals—lead to turmoil, causing a botched wedding and a close call with disaster. These events compel Arun to face the repercussions of his actions. With divine intervention, he understands that authentic change originates from within. In time, he unmasks Rocky’s deceit and earns Alia’s love, accepting life’s flaws as part of its charm.
4. Om Shanti Om
- Cast: Salman Khan, Priyanka Chopra, Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, Arjun Rampal
- IMDB Rating: 6.8/10
- Release year: 2007
- Genre: Action, suspense, comedy, romance
- Where to watch: Netflix
2007 saw the release of the blockbuster romantic fantasy “Om Shanti Om,” helmed by director Farah Khan. This movie dominated the box office, raking in more than 150 crores globally and claiming the title of the year’s most successful film. The unforgettable song “Deewangi Deewangi” was a visual delight, boasting appearances by over 30 stars from Bollywood, including Salman Khan and Priyanka Chopra.
On set, there was an electric ambiance – Farah Khan revealed that Salman Khan waited patiently for four hours to catch Dharmendra dancing, and this enthusiasm was so contagious that several actors joined the scene spontaneously. In appreciation, every actor was given thoughtful gifts such as branded watches and phones.
The storyline of the movie combines themes of reincarnation, love, and vengeance, starting in 1977 where struggling artist Om Prakash yearns for recognition and finds himself smitten with actress Shantipriya. Their lives become entwined when Om rescues Shanti from a fire, but later learns about her clandestine marriage to producer Mukesh, who intends to eliminate her to avoid a scandal.
Following a devastating house fire that took the lives of Shanti and Om, Om is reborn as the renowned figure, Om Kapoor. Thirty years pass, and remnants of his past life continue to haunt him. He teams up with Sandy, who bears a striking resemblance to Shanti, and the vengeful spirit of Shanti herself, to uncover Mukesh’s criminal activities.
These movies span multiple styles, ranging from humor-filled comedies to emotionally intense dramas, offering Salman and Priyanka the chance to demonstrate their adaptability and on-screen charm in diverse environments.
