अंदाज़ अपना अपना (1994)

Andaz Apna Apna makes you laugh. It simply makes you laugh. And that is the purpose of this film. It has an engaging plot. First half trends slowly, but the pace it handles in the second half till the end, is truly out of this world. Amar (Amir Khan) - Prem (Salman Khan) have a great love story (Pun Intended). They have great screen presence where no one is overshadowing the other. All other the characters are entertaining too but Paresh Rawal is a bonus in the film. The movie has some great one liners. It takes to a ride you don't want to come back from. I would call it a Dhamakedaar, Paisa Vasool film. #humorous #witty #

The best comedy movie of Aamir Khan. His performance was straight from the heart with his terrific screen presence. One of the best humorous movie of Indian cinema.

Translating comedy is hard. Let's start with that premise. I had heard that this was an amazing laugh riot Indian comedy, and one I shouldn't miss. Welllll, it wasn't for me. I can admire Aamir Khan and Salman Khan's zaniness in their roles, and there were a few chuckles for me. But just so much of the cultural references went right over my head. I'm sure there was also wordplay that didn't come across at all in the English subtitles. The super villain guy? Totally didn't get him at all.

I also gather that this is a film of it's time -- which is 20 years past at this point. Watching The Blues Brothers or The Ghostbusters with my sons I could see that the fall on the floor laughter I experienced first watching them in the 80's just wasn't translating for my sons watching it in 2014.

I contrast AAA with watching Vicky Donor immediately afterwards. That film probably has cultural references I missed, too, but it was really, really funny still. I'm glad I watched AAA just to see what all the fuss was about, but it wasn't a film for me. Rating it 3 stars just on Aamir Khan, Salman Khan's performances and the wonderful guy who played Teja and the father. Loved him!
