Salman Khan & Karisma Kapoor Movies Together List — 10 Films

The shape of the work

The 1990s account for 70% of everything they made together. The 1990s belonged to Andaz Apna Apna; the 2010s to Zero. Salman Khan acted in every film; Karisma Kapoor acted in all of them. Strictly Hindi cinema — they never crossed industries together.

Partnership facts

• Salman and Karisma's first film together, Jaagruti (1992), was a social drama about alcoholism. Salman was already a star after Maine Pyar Kiya, but Karisma was still finding her footing. The director, Suresh Krishna, paired them specifically because he wanted a fresh, young face opposite Salman — and Karisma's audition sealed it.
• In Andaz Apna Apna (1994), Salman and Karisma's comic timing fed off each other's energy. Salman played the goofy, loud Amar, while Karisma played the sharp, sarcastic Raveena. The trick was that Salman would often improvise his lines on set, and Karisma would react in real time — no retakes. That's why their banter feels so natural.
• Judwaa (1997) was a remake of the Telugu film Hello Brother, but Salman and Karisma's pairing in the double-role comedy created a template for the 'twin brothers separated at birth' genre in Bollywood. Every similar film that followed — from Chachi 420 to Koi... Mil Gaya — owes a nod to the energy they brought to that chaotic climax scene.
• During the shoot of Hum Saath-Saath Hain (1999), Salman and Karisma developed a close friendship that went beyond the set. Karisma has said in interviews that Salman would often drive her home after late-night shoots because she was scared of traveling alone. They stayed in touch even after she stopped acting.
• Karisma once said about working with Salman: 'He has this energy that just lifts you up. Even if I was tired, he'd make me laugh so hard I'd forget the fatigue.' She said this in a 2018 interview promoting Zero, their last film together.
