Change you controller 

public ActionResult Save(string name, string salary)
{
    return View("Message");
}

As you have to use variable name which you have defined in input

<input name="name" type="text" />
<input name="salary" type="text" />

If you want to return partial view.

 return PartialView("Message", <<OptionalPartialViewModel>>);

MVC Bind form inputs to Action by their names. You should change your method params as the same of the form. Also, you are missing the HttpPost attribute:

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Save(string name, string salary)
{
    /*Do Stuff here*/

    return View("Message");
}

You should start by learning about conventions in ASP.NET MVC. You should use models for communicating between controllers and views.

Create a model type first:

public class SalaryModel
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public string Salary { get; set; }
}

Create your form by using HTML helpers and strongly typing your view:

@model SalaryModel

<div id="mydiv">
@using (Html.BeginForm("Save", "Game", FormMethod.Post, new { @Id = "Form1" }))
{
    <table border="0">
    <tr>
        <td>Name :</td>
        <td>@Html.TextBoxFor(item => item.Name)</td>
    </tr>

     <tr>
        <td>Salary :</td>
        <td><input name="salary" type="text" /></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td colspan="2">@Html.TextBoxFor(item => item.Salary)</td>
    </tr>
    </table>
}
</div>

Then you can get the form values inside the model:

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Save(SalaryModel model)
{
    return View("Message");
}

There's a great tutorial on ASP.NET MVC website that can help you with the basics.
