Ahead of it's times

Warning: Spoilers
When Andaz Apna Apna released in 1994,it didn't find many takers, Reason being people didn't know about it's release, improper promotion, The film was in making for 3 years and hence it bombed. But slowly the film got cult status and till today it's known as one of the funniest comedies. The film is really hilarious, at times too slapstick but yet it works out well, Though it's plot is outlandish Director Rajkumar Santoshi after serious films like Ghayal,Damini showed his versatility,though this was started in between of Ghayal and Damini. The film is memorable due to it's chemistry between actors,it's comedy scenes and also it's tributes like Crime Master Gogo being called Mogambo Ka Bhatija.etc and also has digs of Sholay The film at times doesn't make sense too and at times things look too far fetched but then it suits it's genre

Music is good, some songs are made to look straight out of a 50s or 60s film to pay tribute, Illu Illu, Yeh Raat and all songs are good

The actors have inconsistent looks due to it's delay but it doesn't suffer on performance level. Aamir Khan is superb as Amar, he is simply too good and makes you laugh throughout Salman Khan though does lag behind and tries a bit too hard yet does make you laugh at times, but their chemistry is topnotch Karisma irritates,Raveena is decent Amongst rest Paresh Rawal is hilarious in both roles, Shehzad Khan imitates his father Ajit in a funny way, Viju Khote are too good, Shakti Kapoor gives one of his memorable performances as Crime Master Gogo,Deven Verma has a brief role and is superb, Mehmood has one scene as a fraud director of Wah Wah Productions(Tribute to Pyaar Kiye Jaa).Jagdeep is as usual in a small role,
