Tere Naam (In your name) is a 2003 Bollywood musical romantic drama film. It is directed by Satish Kaushik and written by Bala, starring Salman Khan and Bhoomika Chawla in her Hindi film debut.[2] The film is a remake of Bala's own directional venture, Tamil film Sethu (1999).[3]
The film is supposedly based on a true story as the DVD cover says "Unfortunately a true love story", though during the end credits a fictitious disclaimer is shown.[4] Before the release of the film media speculated the film was based on Khan's real life relationship with actress Aishwarya Rai.[4][5]
Tere Naam was release on 15 August 2003 and was major success at the box office.[1] Salman was highly praised for his portrayal of Radhe Mohan and the role is widely considered to be his finest performance till date.[6][7] Tere Naam was nominated for a total of 24 Awards, winning 7 of them, including 8 Filmfare Award nominations.[8] In 2011 Kaushik announced a sequel to Tere Naam, thus he is currently working on the script.[9]
Plot
Radhe Mohan (Salman Khan), a rowdy ex-college boy who, after a ragging (hazing) session, loses his heart to first year student Nirjara (Bhumika Chawla), a traditional Brahmin girl. Just when Nirjara reciprocates his love, Radhey is attacked by a gang of thugs, loses his mind and is admitted to an ashram where, it is hoped, the more traditional means of treatment could have a therapeutic effect on him.
Eventually he returns to normal, and rushes back to Nijaras house, only to find that she has committed suicide, because her family were forcing her to marry Rameshwara (Ravi Kishan). After accepting this fact he returns to the ashram.

Reception
Tere Naam garnered overwhelmingly buoyant reviews. Subhash K Jha of Times of India waxed lyrical about Salman claiming that the actor had outshone even Dilip Kumar and Amitabh Bachchan. " Obsessive unrequited love has been done by many actors in the past from Dilip Kumar in Mehboob Khan's Andaz to Amitabh Bacchan in Parwana to Shah Rukh Khan in Anjaam. But none has done it with such stunning physical and emotional aggression. Salman takes over the show with gut-wrenching and finally devastating impact."[10]
Box office
Tere Naam opened to packed houses and took the nation by storm.[11] The response to Tere Naam surpassed that of Gadar Ek Prem Katha, Lagaan, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon and Koi... Mil Gaya. Jodhpur saw almost a dozen people donning Salman's Tere Naam hairstyle for the first day's show. And this was the place where Salman Khan had received the maximum flak after his black buck case.
In Patna, a young man got so excited watching Salman Khan sing 'Tere Naam Humne Kiya Hai', he got up from his seat, broke his cola bottle on his hand and flashed his bloodied limb to the stunned public.[12]
Komal Nahta reported in Film Information that the collections at Meerut's Nandan cinema have broken records over the last five years. Two hours after the advanced booking counter for the film opened for the first time, the theatre sold Rs 3 lakh (Rs 300,000) worth of tickets.[13]
Taran Adarsh told [Times of India] that the advance booking for Tere Naam is the best ever in five years. In the north, 'record-breaking' is the term being bandied about.[14]
The film altogether grossed 32 crore and was Super Hit at the box office.[15] It was the third highest grossing movie of the year.[16]
