abhivankit I simply fail to understand the parts which are supposed to be funny in this movie. Aamir and Salman both mentioned in their interviews that the test audience watching the rushes of AAA were ROFL-ing. If that is so, then they must have definitely watched some other version of the movie. Because the real audience back then in the theatres didn't find anything funny, and it's fate at the box office is known to everyone.
Nona Soumy I don't really write reviews, but I felt compelled after reading some of the more recent reviews on this film. First of all, yes there are many people who enjoy this movie due to nostalgic reasons. If you are someone who wants to watch this movie past the year 2015 and you've never seen it before, then yes the movie might seem really outdated. However, I think you need to give it a chance! When the movie first released, it was considered a flop! It began to gain recognition later on. So, one cannot dismiss it based on its release date.I watched this movie when I was a kid and I laughed at the awfully choreographed fight scenes because I thought they looked stupid. Now, I am in my mid-twenties and every time I watch this film, I remind myself that this movie doesn't take itself seriously. So why should I?The performances are great, especially Aamir Khan's acting. Even the "villains" are hilarious, and Paresh Rawal is a wonderful actor. I would have to say my favorite character was crime master Gogo (Shakti Kapoor). He is supposed to be the bad guy, but he's pretty naive and every scene of his is wonderfully humorous. I've watched this movie countless of times, and each time I laugh from beginning to the end. It's original, and it's comic genius! Every single scene, song, dialogue, and behavior is intentionally meant to make its audience laugh. It's a silly movie that doesn't shy away from laughing at itself. The best thing about this movie is kid friendly. It doesn't rely on vulgarities to make its audience laugh.If you just want to sit back and watch a light comedy, then this is it!I would like to add that it might not be as funny to those who do not speak or understand Hindi. This movie's humor is highly specific and there are a lot of rhyming jokes that just would not work via subtitles or dubbing. It can get lost in translation.
classicsoncall You've heard of or seen "Dumb and Dumber"? Well, this is the Indian version. Seriously, how did this film earn a top spot on IMDb last year (2016)? That's really the only reason I watched this film, currently sitting with an 8.3 rating as I write this. Come on, The Monkees were doing stuff like this in the Sixties for cryin' out loud. This picture reminded me of the cheesy kung-fu flicks of the Seventies with the crappy dubbing and the exaggerated mannerism of the characters. Compared to this, "3 Idiots" looked like Nobel Prize winners. I hope Pepsi Cola got their money's worth out of their product placement for this movie, there was a scene in which an entire building was covered with their red, white and blue graphics. This was truly a 'Waah Waah' production worthy of it's name. If you need a reason to see it, stay tuned for Raveena Tandon's appearance in the story, at which point you can turn it off right there. Fortunately, it's an early one.
yehhawayein Sardsardhai The Hindi film industry never acknowledged openly the fact that Andaz Apna Apna was straight lift from three old classic Tamil films from which comedy scenes of actor Cho Ramaswamy have been lifted - Bommalattam and Thenmazhai, both written by Cho Ramaswamy and third being Adimai Penn. 1)In 1968, Tamil film Bommalattam became a blockbuster. Bommalattam story and dialogues were written by Cho Ramaswamy and Bommalattam was directed by Mukta Srinivasan. It had the cast of Jayalalitha, Jaishankar, Sechu, Manorama, Nagesh, Cho Ramaswamy and V.S.Raghavan. The plan of kidnap being made by the two boys Jaishankar and Nagesh to kidnap V.S.Raghavan to impress him by getting him released from kidnappers and the plan getting failed and the heroes informing the daughters Sechu and Jayalalithaa that they did plan to kidnap but their plan failed and actual villains have kidnapped their father. The same scenes have been reproduced in Andaz Apna Apna.2) Similarly the scenes where Nagesh acts as mental patient who acts as if he lost his memory and stays in the house of Manorama and Cho Ramaswamy acts as a doctor and uses carpenter tools and hammer to make diagnosis of Nagesh, from the 1967 Tamil film Thenmazhai have been lifted in Andaz Apna Apna. 3)Also the climax scene of Andaz Apna Apna is straight lift from Victoria 203 where Pran and Ashok Kumar fool the villains.4) The scene where in Aamir Khan talks about some old match he was part of which in turn foils plans of Viju Khote to make the main characters drink poisonous drink, is straight lift from Adimai Penn (1969 ) produced by M.G.Ramachandran. In the original Tamil film it was actor Cho Ramasawamy who fooled the villain R.S.Manohar and foiled the evil plans by exchanging the glasses.
