But the believability with which these actors portray ridicule is simply amazing.Īamir's delicious wickedness and I-am-oh-so-sly act as Amar complemented Salman's brawn-and-dumb-dodo turn perfectly. You probably wouldn't find an Amar, Prem or a Crime Master Gogo at every nook and corner. The characters in Andaz Apna Apna are as crazy as it gets. * Amar, Prem getting rebuked by Uncle and a couple of reels later the reverse. * Amar and Prem chalking down a game plan to kidnap Uncle, ie Ram Gopal Bajaj. * Karishma telling Prem she is Raveena and Raveena is Karishma. * Amar making a football match out of glass of sherbets. * When Prem tries to propose to Raveena only to find himself making unusual visits to the loo instead. * When Amar is forced to gobble down kaali mirch ke laddoos.
* When Amar and Prem land at the same guest house and squabble but instantly turn into an epitome of brotherly love – Lord Rama and King Bharata - when the manager shows up.
* When Amar and his father fantasise about becoming rich and famous. It is purely a dialogue-cum-(comic)-action-cum-performance-based film. Although shockingly low on production values, it doesn't matter whether the backdrop is Ooty or Film City because of its frothy, engaging content.Ĭome to think of it, Andaz Apna Apna doesn't have an out-of-the-world story, nor does it bank on narrative. The good thing about AAA is that it is a clean entertainer and does not resort to tasteless humour or cheap gimmickry. What follows from start to finish is an unstoppable session of laughs, more laughs and yet more of it. Little do they know that Bajaj has a look alike twin, Shyam, aka Teja (Rawal) who, with the help of his Paplu (Shehzad) Taplu (Viju Khote), is scheming to get his hands on the riches himself.Īnother character called Crime Master Gogo (Shakti Kapoor), a cross dresser between a pirate and superhero, also has his eye on the money. Both buffoons sell their father's bangle shop and hair salon respectively to land in Ooty.īoth also decide to woo the London-returned wealthy heiress Raveena (Raveena Tandon), accompanied by her friend-cum-secretary Karishma (Karisma Kapoor).īasically, whoever marries Raveena will inherit all of her dad Ram Gopal Bajaj's (Paresh Rawal) fortune. From an outsider's point of view, all four actors shared great timing and worked wonderfully as a team.įor all those unlucky blokes out there who haven't seen this film, here's a quick recap.Īmar ' Haila', smartass (Aamir Khan), and Prem ' Ooi maa', bumbling nitwit (Salman Khan), are two ambitious guys from Bhopal who want to make a quick buck by conning people. With bloated egos and petty quarrels, it is hardly surprising Andaz Apna Apna took a good three-four years to see the light of the day.Īmazingly, there were no traces of this misdemeanour on screen. Interestingly, the two actresses got into catfights throughout the making of the film. Their heroines were Raveena Tandon and Karisma Kapoor who had just begun their careers. Directed by Rajkumar Santoshi, Andaz Apna Apna brought the two Khans - Aamir and Salman - together for the first, and seemingly last, time on the big screen. Let me indulge in some background dough about this laugh raiser. Since the film featured both my favourite Khans (at the time), I would collect cutouts of the film's promotional stills kept myself in the loop about every little information about it. Back then, the cable guy would show a film a week after the film's release, so I got to see it immediately. I was in grade 10 when the film released. 's new Mad About Movies Section gives me the opportunity to tell you what makes Andaz Apna Apna a classic.
The other four being Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi, Half Ticket, Bhoot Bangla and Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron. I, for one, consider it to be Number 1 in my list of the Top 5 Hindi funny flicks.

"Sir, yeh Vasco Da Gama ke zamane ki gun hai."Īnyone who claims to be a movie buff is most likely to be an Andaz Apna Apna fan as well. "Tumhare baarein mein bahut saare gadhe soch rahe honge Raveena. "Tum jo ho woh tum nahi koi aur hai, woh jo hai woh woh nahi koi aur hai, main jo hoon woh main nahi, ya main bhi koi aur hoon? Main kaun hoon?" Naam sunte hi main samajh gaya tha ke tum dono awwal darje ke filmi aur awaare ladke ho." "Suno suno duniya ke logon, sabse bada hai Mr Gogo.
