Salman-Karisma’s 6 Films to Watch After Koffee With Karan 9
Salman Khan and Karisma Kapoor's Koffee With Karan 9 reunion has fans revisiting six 90s Bollywood films now streaming on Prime Video and JioHotstar.
When Salman Khan and Karisma Kapoor shared the couch on Koffee With Karan season 9, it felt less like an interview and more like a rewind. The two stars talked about their friendship and their years of working together, and the conversation sent fans straight back to the 1990s.
The good news for anyone planning a rewatch: the Salman-Karisma filmography is mostly available to stream right now. The titles are spread across Prime Video and JioHotstar, so the only real decision is which one to start with.
Why the pairing still works
Salman and Karisma were not always a conventional on-screen couple. Across these films, they played love interests, comic foils and the third point of a love triangle. That range is part of the appeal. The films also bottle the 90s formula: earworm soundtracks, mistaken identities, family showdowns and dialogue that fans still quote.
Music is a big reason this era remains rewatchable. Tracks such as Yeh Raat Aur Yeh Doori, Oonchi Hai Building, Tan Tana Tan, Chunari Chunari and Pyar Dilon Ka Mela Hai still pull comments from fans who grew up on them. Revisiting the films now is as much about the songs as the scenes.
Six films to queue up
The films below span 1994 to 2000, and four of them come from director David Dhawan.
- Andaz Apna Apna (1994) — Salman is Prem and Karisma is Karishma in Rajkumar Santoshi’s cult comedy. Stream it on Prime Video.
- Jeet (1996) — A more dramatic love triangle with Sunny Deol, Karisma and Salman. Stream it on Prime Video.
- Judwaa (1997) — Salman plays twins Raja and Prem, with Karisma as Mala. The David Dhawan comedy is on JioHotstar.
- Biwi No. 1 (1999) — Karisma’s Pooja fights for her marriage with Salman’s Prem. Stream it on Prime Video.
- Chal Mere Bhai (2000) — Salman and Sanjay Dutt are brothers caught in a love triangle with Karisma. Stream it on Prime Video.
- Dulhan Hum Le Jayenge (2000) — Salman’s Raja tries to impress Karisma’s three very different uncles. Stream it on Prime Video and JioHotstar.
Where to start
If you want full comic chaos, Judwaa or Andaz Apna Apna are the obvious first picks. If you prefer family drama with a 90s sheen, Biwi No. 1 and Dulhan Hum Le Jayenge fit best. Jeet is the outlier: it leans into sacrifice and action, making it a useful change of pace in a marathon.
The Koffee With Karan reunion is a reminder that a single couch conversation can send an entire catalogue back into rotation. For fans, that means the weekend watchlist basically builds itself.
