Andaz Apna Apna

Andaaz Apna Apna is the most comic movie of the decade.You can't stop laughing during the movie.Right from the first scene to the last, your giggles don't stop.Amir Khan is brilliant.His comic timing is superb.His dialogue delivery, gestures,uninhibited style all compel you to laugh like hell.Salman Khan is good.Paresh Rawal is his usual best.The dialogues by Rajkumar Santoshi are good(Amir Khan mouthing Purush-Mahapurush).The music reminds you of good old times.The scenes where both the characters Amar Prem try to outwit each other,they try to woo Raveena and the fighting scenes in the Climax are really funny.It is very difficult to decide which is the most comic scene.All of them are on top of other.Definitely one of the best feathers in RajKumar Santoshi's Cap. I think this movie ranks no.1 in Comedy genre of Bollywood(at least in 1990s when there were very few comedy movies).

It's simply ridiculous how underrated this movie is. It is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. It never lags, it never slows down, it is a movie that has a wonderful flow to the plot. That along with the brilliant writing makes this an awesome movie. Aamir and Salman are outrageous, even Raveena and Karishma are funny in this movie. Paresh Rawal and Shakti deliver some great bad guy comedy, but Viju Khote and the Ajit-wannabe are the best with their dumbfounded bad-guy intentions. If you want to laugh, and enjoy a movie, watch this movie, do it with family or friends, you will not regret it. Most indian movies tire me out by the end, cause they are 3 hours long. This movie is just as long, but I wish there was more when it ends, cause it's an amazing flick.

I must have watched this movie 20-30 times, and can still enjoy watching it.

Apart from the great performances, the situations and the characters, what makes this movie really great for me are the subtle events in the background at times. That makes it interesting each time you watch it.

For instance, there is this scene when Amir meets some Union leader, and takes his cigerette to light up a Bidi, lights the Bidi, and returns the Bidi to the other guy, and keeps the cigerette with him!

There are so many more funny and subtle adsurdities going on throughout the movie..

The only portion I keep on fast-forwarding even now, is the song in the bus..

I think although the movie was a flop on the box-office, it still is a huge hit in the home rentals, although large scale piracy would have meant that the producers didn't really earn much from it.

I watched this movie nth time with my dutch friend. We have similar kind of taste. Then I realized he didn't like the movie at all. I would like to highlight the following facts for a non Hindi speaker. The acting is intentionally over the top.

It's a spoof movie. Spoofing many of the cliché Indian movie scenes.

Do not watch if you can't understand Hindi. This movie simply can't be translated. The film have so many rhyming dialogues which can't be translated to other language while maintaining the humor. The movie has dialog which feel funny to Hindi speaker but not to Non Hindi speakers.This I realized with my dutch friend.

This is the reason I don't watch Korean comedy films although I'm a huge fan of Korean movies. The humor gets lost while translating.

Its a spoof, its an intelligent comedy, it has some a pathetic action and choreography (and mind it, it is intentional), good hummable songs, good performances by the entire cast, brilliant by Amir, Salman and Paresh and over all an script which is so rare in Indian cinema that too in comedy (watch David Dhawan, Harmesh Malhotra etc). Story is of two wastrels whose only aim is to get rich and famous by any which ways. They come across one such way when they find out that a rich NRI is coming India to get married. Rest of the story is about oneupmanship and how these wastrels try to out wit each other. Entire cast is perfectly cast right from Deven Verma till Viju Khote. Songs are rightly placed and are funny. Surprise package is Salman who acts with perfect timing and this particular act gave him his style of comedy.

All an all a fum film which you should not ignore if you like and watch Indian Cinema.
