For whatever reason it's not talked abt a whole lot but I've always felt the romance between Salman and Madhuri in HAHK was very well done. Barjatya was great at depicting sweet/cute love stories in his first 2 directorial ventures. Pretty much any scene between Salman-Madhuri in HAHK is memorable but these 5 really stick out:
5) Salman/Madhuri crashing together on MD's bed while in pursuit of the dulha's wedding shoes. The mutual awkwardness shared between the 2 once the bed breaks and then Salman twisting MD's hand behind and letting her walk away with the shoes is very romantic. Good background score too.
4) The car scene when Salman picks up Madhuri from her house. MD's face does a lot of talking here while Salman's at his charming best. Brilliant acting by the 2 stars.
3) The scene at the pool following 'Didi Tera Devar Deewana'. Neither Salman or MD are looking at the each other but DAMN the scene is simply oozing with romantic heat. Salman's "Bas, jo bhi aap kehti hai, jo bhi aap karti hai, hume sab kuch acha lagta hai". Madhuri following with "Kyon? Hum Aapke Hain koun?". Explosive words.
2) The scene prior to 'Pehla Pehla Pyar Hai' when MD serves food to the late-arriving Salman from work. Pretty self explanatory. Two people admitting their love for each other w/o really saying it. Coy glances, playful banter, great background music and fine lighting makes this IMO one of the 5 greatest romantic scenes of all time. I see that some other posters in here have included this scene in their list too!
1) The song 'Pehla Pehla Pyar Hai' itself. The most perfectly timed romantic song. Hard to beat the chemistry between Salman-Madhuri here. MD's probably more known for her jodi with Anil Kapoor or even SRK but if you're talking pure romantic chemistry than she's NEVER topped what she had with Salman in HAHK. Same goes for Salman whose probably more known for his work with Ash(HDDCS) or Karishma but he's looked his best with Madhuri.
Other movies where the romance is well done are MPK, DDLJ and QSQT. Little surprise that they all featured classic pairings(Aamir-Juhi, Srk-Kajol and Salman-Bhagyashree).

I so agree with the above about Salman and Madhuri in HAHK. One of the greatest movies of all time! I've watched it at least 200 times. I also love the following:
1) The song "najaane mere dil ko kya..." in DDLJ.
2) "Tadap tadap" in Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam... you totally feel for Salman here. Another romantic moment is with Ajay Devgan and Aishwarya in the train where they don't have a ticket.
3) Well once again I'll say Hum Aapke Hai Kaun... I love the song "Mujhse juda ho kar" I love the way Salman and Madhuri often don't look at each other but their eyes say everything!
4) Dil Toh Paagal Hai- the last scene where Madhuri is saying "jab woh mujhe dekhta hai toh mujhe lagta hai mai khoobsurat hu..."
Oh God... such lovely movies! And there's the ever-lasting pair of Aamir-Juhi Chawla in QSQT. List will go on...
