Epic is perhaps the only word that
can describe this movie. Though it was a box office dud upon its release, Andaz Apna Apna has achieved cult status
over the years among its fans.
Amar (Aamir Khan) and Prem
(Salman Khan) are two losers who dream of getting rich by marrying Raveena Bajaj
(Raveena Tandon), daughter of a wealthy businessman, Ram Gopal Bajaj (Paresh
Rawal). Amar and Prem make a lot of efforts to win over Raveena, but what they don’t
know is that the asli Raveena Bajaj is
actually the assistant, Karishma (Karishma Kapur). They also don’t know that
Ram Gopal Bajaj has an evil twin, Shyam Gopal Bajaj (or Teja!). Teja hatches a
plan to kidnap Ram and make away with the money, which has been converted into
diamonds. For this, he sets up Robert…err..Raaaabert (Viju Khote) and Bhalla (Shehzad
Khan) in Raveena’s house. Teja succeeds in his plan and what follows is utter
confusion!
The film boasts of brilliant
performances by the entire cast, and even the supporting cast, however
miniscule the role may be. A standout among them is Paresh Rawal, who has you
in splits with every single line. Music by Tushar Bhatia is very reminiscent of
the 50’s and 80’s and Majrooh Sultanpuri’s words blend well with the
compositions. The highlight of this film, however are the dialogues. Just downright
hilarious.
For all those who haven’t watched
the film, hell you’re missing out! Go buy a DVD today! And for those who have
seen it a billion times, here are some memorable lines:
- Teja: “Yeh thailii mein pachaas lakh laye hai?”
Robert: “Sir, lakh lakh ke pachaas cheque hoenge sir!”
- Bhalla: “Veh Vasco De Gama ki gun hai”
Teja: “Kiske mama ki gun hai?”
- Gogo: “Yeh Teja Teja kya hai? Yeh Teja Teja..”
- Ram Gopal Bajaj: “Teja main hoon, mark idhar hai!”
- Teja: “Hamara Bajaj!”
- Ram Gopal Bajaj: “Nonsense!”
- Gogo: “Kya namaste namaste? Daawat pea aye ho kya?”
- Prem: “Uui Ma!”
- Amar: “Zhakaas!” :P
