Andaz Apna Apna

Andaz Apna Apna (Our Dreams)

Cast:
Amar Manohar: Aamir Khan
Prem Bhopali: Salman Khan
Raveena: Raveena Tandon
Karisma: Karisma Kapoor
Shyam Gopal Bajaj: Paresh Rawal
Ram Gopal Bajaj: Paresh Rawal

This slapstick satire weaves the story of Amar (Aamir Khan) and Prem (Salman Khan), two good for nothing loafers whose only goals in life are to make it big without putting forth any effort. They quickly discover that Raveena (Raveena Tandon), a wealthy heiress and her close friend, Karisma (Karisma Kapoor) will be looking for eligible bachelors to marry into their wealthy family. As the heroes become close friends, they discover each others’ plans and their camaraderie quickly turns into competition over Raveena’s attention. Amar eventually woos Raveena and Prem discovers that he is actually in love with Karisma and the friendship is saved. All the two happy couples need now is Ram Gopal Bajaj (Raveena’s wealthy father) to approve of the marriage, but of course, things are not nearly as simple as they seem. Ram Gopal Bajaj’s evil twin, Shyam Gopal Bajaj has kidnapped the father and is holding him ransom in order to steal his wealth. Amar and Prem see this as the perfect opportunity to win over their future father-in-law’s affection (and his wallet) by rescuing him. Chaos, confusion, and comedy ensue…
Andaz Apna Apna is an excellent comedy of errors. It satirizes previous Bollywood conventions and has an exciting and refreshing storyline. Overall, the simple, laugh out loud jokes and situations placed throughout the movie redeem the complex story line and make this a movie not to be missed. -Kar Ravji
