==Plot==
Radhe Mohan is a jobless rowdy, surrounded by a rough circle. He lives with his brother Ajay, his sister-in-law Gayatri, and their child. He is a violent man, but often performs good deeds, such as beating up sexual harassers.
The film centres around a tough college student and graduate jobless rowdy Radhe Mohan, who leads the Student Union and has a violent temper. He lives with his elder brother Shiv, a court magistrate, and often clashes with him. Only his sister-in-law Gayatri seems to truly understand him.


Radhe falls in love with Nirjara Bhardwaj, a student at his former college and the daughter of a poor temple priest. Radhe helps her a few times, and she seems to like him. One day, Radhe proposes to her and jokingly remarks that he would beat her father up if he doesn't agree to their marriage. Nirjara is too shocked to say much and utters "Yes" when Radhe asks her if she was listening to him. Radhe interprets this as her acceptance of the proposal. Later, he and his friends intimidate Nirjara's fiancé Rameshwar. The next day, Radhe brings her a gift, but she tells him that she does not love him, and calls him a goon. A heartbroken Radhe subsequently tries to talk to her, but she refuses to engage in a conversation.
Radhe wins the Student Union election and gets into a fight during the celebrations. Though aggressive, he begins to change after meeting Nirjara, a timid Brahmin girl. Radhe helps her some times, and she seems to like him a bit. One day, Radhe proposes to her and jokingly remarks that he will beat her father up if he doesn't agree to their marriage. Nirjara is too shocked to say much and utters "yes" when Radhe asks her if she was listening to him. Radhe interprets this as her acceptance of the proposal. Later he and his friends intimidate Nirjara fiancé, Rameshwar. The next day, Radhe brings her a gift, but she tells him that she does not love him and calls him a goon. A heartbroken Radhe subsequently tries to talk to her, but she refuses to engage in a conversation.


Radhe's friends suggest that he give up rowdyism and violence to impress Nirjara, but one day, he roughs up a brothel owner who had beaten up one of his friends. As Radhe is about to punch the brothel owner, Nirjara arrives at the scene, and Radhe stops the violence, allowing the brothel owner to escape. Subsequently, Nirjara's elder sister Mamata, who is in need of money, is nearly tricked into prostitution, when she visits the brothel to meet a man who promises her a loan. Radhe, who does not know that she is Nirjara's sister, visits the same brothel to find a man who had harassed a woman. He saves Mamata from being arrested during a police raid. She tells him that her husband Aatmaram has evicted her, and is demanding money to give her the custody of their son. The next day, Radhe beats up Aatmaram, forcing him to take her back and to stop harassing her. Rameshwar sees this and tells Nirjara that Radhe is a good, selfless man, who truly loves her. Unaware of this conversation, Radhe abducts Nirjara (which is extremely ironic to what Rameshwar was telling about him) so that she would listen to him express his feelings for her. Nirjara initially feels intimidated, but ultimately falls in love with him.

She tells him that her husband Aatmaram has kicked her out of their house and is demanding money to give her custody of their son. the next day, Radhe beats up Aatmaram, forcing him to take her back and to stop harassing her. Rameshwar sees this and tells Nirjara that Radhe is a good selfless man who truly loves her. unaware of this conversation, Radhe abducts Nirjara (which is the opposite of what Rameshwar was saying about him) so that she would listen to him to express his feelings for her. Nirjara initially feels intimidated but ultimately falls in love with him.


Subsequently, the brothel owner and his goons attack Radhe to take revenge on him for trying to shut down their business. Radhe suffers from brain damage during the attack and loses his mental balance. His family admits him to a religious institution for mental patients, as Nirjara and his friends pray for him. At one point, Radhe's mental state returns to normal, but the wardens do not understand this and beat him up. Nirjara visits the institution and sees him in a pitiful condition while he is sleeping. Convinced that Radhe is not going to get well, Radhe's brother asks her to forget him and marry Rameshwar. On the day of Nirjara's wedding with Rameshwar, Radhe escapes from the institution, and arrives at her home, only to find that she has committed suicide. Radhe then allows himself to be taken back to the institution despite his family and friends trying to persuade him otherwise. The epilogue shows Radhe, now old and still in the institution, tying peacock feathers in Nirjara's memory.
Subsequently, the brothel owner and his goons attack Radhe to take revenge on him for trying to shut down their business. In the midst of attack, they slam Radhe's head onto the buffer of a train. Radhe suffers brain damage in the attack and loses his mental balance.
 
His family admits him to a religious institution for mental patients, as Nirjara and his friends pray for him and his safety. However, the doctors deem it difficult to cure him, so he is sent to an ashram with even worse conditions. He becomes thin and now has a buzzcut. He wears torn clothes, and is chained to the walls along with other mentally ill patients. At some point Radhe's mental state returns to normal, but the wardens do not understand him. Radhe tries to escape, only to get hurt with more serious injuries in the process. Nirjara visits the institution and sees him in a pitiful condition while he is sleeping. When he wakes up, he realizes that Nirjara visited him and he tries to yell out her name, but she is unable to hear him and leaves Radhe in tears.
 
Convinced that Radhe is not going to recover, Radhe's brother asks her to forget him and marry Rameshwar. On the day of Nirjara’s wedding with Rameshwar, Radhe escapes from the institution and arrives at her home, only to find that she has committed suicide.
 
Devastated, Radhe limps away in silence. His friends and family run after him in tears, but he doesn’t respond. The ashram wardens arrive and take him back. The film ends with Radhe stepping into the van, broken and without reason to live after losing his true love.

Planet Bollywood rated 8.0/10 to the film and wrote, "Salman Khan puts his heart and soul into his performance. He is equally at ease in romantic, emotional and even in Mahendra Verma's well conceived action scene. Bhoomika Chawla impresses in her first hindi movie. The supporting cast of [[Sachin Khedekar]], [[Sarfaraz Khan (actor)|Sarfaraz Khan]] and [[Ravi Kishan]] is reasonably good. The music by [[Himesh Reshammiya]] goes well with the movie".

Tere Naam (/θeɪreɪ nɑːm/ transl. to your name) is a 2003 Indian Hindi-language tragedy romantic drama film directed by Satish Kaushik and written by Jainendra Jain. The film stars Salman Khan and Bhumika Chawla in her Hindi cinema debut.[2] It is a remake of the Tamil film Sethu (1999).[3]

The film was based on a real-life incident of a friend of Bala's, who had fallen in love, lost his mind, and ended up at a mental asylum.[4][5] Considered as a cult classic, Tere Naam was released on 15 August 2003 and became a moderate box-office success, although its soundtrack album was a major success.[6] Salman Khan was praised for his portrayal of Radhe Mohan and the role is widely considered to be his best performance till date.[7][8]

Tere Naam received a total of 24 award nominations, including eight at the Filmfare Awards, and won seven accolades.[citation needed]

Plot[edit | edit source]

The film centres around a tough college student and graduate jobless rowdy Radhe Mohan, who leads the Student Union and has a violent temper. He lives with his elder brother Shiv, a court magistrate, and often clashes with him. Only his sister-in-law Gayatri seems to truly understand him.

Radhe wins the Student Union election and gets into a fight during the celebrations. Though aggressive, he begins to change after meeting Nirjara, a timid Brahmin girl. Radhe helps her some times, and she seems to like him a bit. One day, Radhe proposes to her and jokingly remarks that he will beat her father up if he doesn't agree to their marriage. Nirjara is too shocked to say much and utters "yes" when Radhe asks her if she was listening to him. Radhe interprets this as her acceptance of the proposal. Later he and his friends intimidate Nirjara fiancé, Rameshwar. The next day, Radhe brings her a gift, but she tells him that she does not love him and calls him a goon. A heartbroken Radhe subsequently tries to talk to her, but she refuses to engage in a conversation.

Radhe's friends suggest that he give up rowdyism and violence to impress Nirjara but one day, he roughs up a goon who had beaten up one of his friends. As Radhe is about to punch him. Nirjara arrives at the scene, and Radhe stops the violence and allowing the goon to escape. Subsequently, Nirjara’s elder sister Mamata, who is in need of money, is nearly tricked into prostitution when she unknowingly visits a brothel to meet a man who promises her a loan. Radhe, who does not know that she is Nirjara’s sister, visits the same brothel to find a man who had harassed a woman and had hit his friend for intervening. He saves Mamata from being arrested during a police raid. She tells him that her husband Aatmaram has kicked her out of their house and is demanding money to give her custody of their son. the next day, Radhe beats up Aatmaram, forcing him to take her back and to stop harassing her. Rameshwar sees this and tells Nirjara that Radhe is a good selfless man who truly loves her. unaware of this conversation, Radhe abducts Nirjara (which is the opposite of what Rameshwar was saying about him) so that she would listen to him to express his feelings for her. Nirjara initially feels intimidated but ultimately falls in love with him.

Subsequently, the brothel owner and his goons attack Radhe to take revenge on him for trying to shut down their business. In the midst of attack, they slam Radhe's head onto the buffer of a train. Radhe suffers brain damage in the attack and loses his mental balance.

His family admits him to a religious institution for mental patients, as Nirjara and his friends pray for him and his safety. However, the doctors deem it difficult to cure him, so he is sent to an ashram with even worse conditions. He becomes thin and now has a buzzcut. He wears torn clothes, and is chained to the walls along with other mentally ill patients. At some point Radhe's mental state returns to normal, but the wardens do not understand him. Radhe tries to escape, only to get hurt with more serious injuries in the process. Nirjara visits the institution and sees him in a pitiful condition while he is sleeping. When he wakes up, he realizes that Nirjara visited him and he tries to yell out her name, but she is unable to hear him and leaves Radhe in tears.

Convinced that Radhe is not going to recover, Radhe's brother asks her to forget him and marry Rameshwar. On the day of Nirjara’s wedding with Rameshwar, Radhe escapes from the institution and arrives at her home, only to find that she has committed suicide.

Devastated, Radhe limps away in silence. His friends and family run after him in tears, but he doesn’t respond. The ashram wardens arrive and take him back. The film ends with Radhe stepping into the van, broken and without reason to live after losing his true love.

Cast[edit | edit source]

Production[edit | edit source]

Anurag Kashyap was originally hired to direct the film but later removed from the film as he wanted Salman Khan to not shave his chest as the character of Radhe hailed from Uttar Pradesh where men are known to be very raw in terms of appearance. Satish Kaushik later took over.[9][10] Ameesha Patel was originally considered to play the role of Nirjara, but scheduling conflicts prevented her from accepting.[11] The role went to Bhumika Chawla, who made her Bollywood debut in the film.[12]
