One of the most famous and appreciated comedies by the current generation, “Andaz Apna Apna” is directed by Raj Kumar Santoshi, who is more known for his hard hitting emotional dramas and thrillers. It was his first comedy movie featuring the two big Khans, Aamir & Salman, who were also coming together in a project for the first time. With the new age kind of humor, intelligently directed by Santoshi, the movie scores high on the entertainment quotient and has many well conceived comedy sequences to enjoy.
Along with the boys, both Karishma Kapoor & Raveena Tandon also contributed equally in making the movie a Classic Bollywood comedy of the hip generation. Moreover, the hilarious acts of Paresh Rawal in a double role and Shakti Kapoor as Crime Master Gogo hugely helped the movie in acquiring a cult status in the world of comedies, on the lines of the immensely famous “Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron” & “Padosan”. Especially the last thirty minutes of the film wherein all the lead characters are having a blast in the Don’s den are a real treat to watch in this highly enjoyable classic.
Ironically, the movie was completely rejected by the audience at the time of its release in 1994. However, I still remember the great time we all had while watching it in the big cinema hall of those times but somehow it couldn’t establish the right connection with the viewers universally. May be the one liner witty humor in the movie was way before its right time. And that might be the reason why “Andaz Apna Apna” later received its much deserved appreciation from the younger generation and is now currently included among the Top 10 comedies ever made in the Hindi Film Industry.
So, the next time, you want to have a good fun time together with your family then this is what you should go for at once. A highly recommended flick for all Bollywood comedy lovers.
