Well, this definitely tops the list. The middle-parted hairstyle with bangs became famously known as the Tere Naam cut. From schools to colleges and streets, spotting youngsters with this viral hairstyle was not uncommon. On the Box Office front, the Satish Kaushik directorial turned out to be a commercial success and is still considered one of the most memorable films of Salman Khan's career.

Mujhse Shaadi Karogi

The cool and stylish hairdo became a rage in 2004. While some fans replicated it perfectly, others struggled to pull it off. The storyline of this romantic comedy follows two men trying their best to win the heart of their neighbour. It opened to positive reviews and attracted significant footfall to theatres.

Veer

Sporting long hair, Salman looked as dashing as ever in the Anil Sharma directorial. Though the movie bombed at the Box Office, his hairstyle led many youngsters to ditch the barber shop for a long while.

Sultan

The sports drama was one of the rare films where Salman took the cinemas by storm with short hair. With this Ali Abbas Zafar directorial, he firmly proved that the classic hairdo never goes out of style. Sultan centered around a former world wrestling champion battling personal struggles. The film shattered Box Office records, setting the cash registers ringing at ticket counters.
