That Andaz Apna Apna is one of the greatest films of all time is not a matter of debate. However, what’s very disappointing to hear is that many people who were born after or around 1995 have never managed to watch this film. They need to understand that they are missing out on a laugh riot that gets better and better each time you watch it. Which is why, if you’re someone who is still to catch the Aamir-Salman starrer, here are 6 reasons you should watch it.
The crazily unique story
Comic films of today prefer to focus more on the jokes, while the script gets neglected. But that’s not the case with Andaz Apna Apna, for it has a brilliant slightly fantastical story involving lots of twists and turns from start to end. The base of the story has Aamir and Salman’s characters both wanting to marry a rich man’s daughter to inherit his wealth, but the film narrative has much more in store for you than just that.
It’s addressing of many Hindi cinema tropes
Andaz Apna Apna very intelligently makes fun of many overused tropes in Hindi cinema. Whether it’s the ‘two brothers separated in the Kumb mela’ theme or the memory loss device. The film also never refrains of making fun of itself.
The unforgettable music
Music is one of the strongpoints of Andaz Apna Apna. All of its songs are melodious, catchy and unique, and you will want to just keep listening to them. As for the background music, it’s so good that every true fan of the film also hums along with every background music track.
Fast paced comedy
Andaz Apna Apna’s comedy works so brilliantly because of its fast pace. All the actors have excellent dialogue delivery which produces humour in the most unexpected of ways.
The little details
Every fan of the film will tell you that it’s filled with little jokes that go unnoticed in the first few viewings. But once you start noticing them, you would want to keep doing more of the same.
An excellent cast
Aamir and Salman can be seen in top form in this film. Their superb comedic sense makes its presence felt at every step. And the remaining cast is equally good as well. Raveena Tandon and Karishma Kapoor also leave you impressed, and so do other actors like Paresh Rawal, Shakti Kapoor, Tiku Talsania, Viju Khote and Shehzad Khan. Moreover, this film has cameos from comedy greats like Mehmood, Jagdeep and Deven Verma.
In case you’re wondering where to watch this film, it is streaming on Netflix right now. Besides, you can find it playing on some cable channel or the other at least twice a week.
