I re-watched it & believe me people, I laughed till my lungs began to hurt! 'Andaz Apna Apna' Synopsis: Two con men competing for the hand of a heiress get drawn into love - and into trying to save her from an evil criminal. Its still as funny, as silly & as entertaining as it was 2 decades ago. Rajkumar Santoshi's Cult-Comedy 'Andaz Apna Apna' is a classic that has aged well. But for westerners not in love with older Indian films, it will be a chore to finish. If you like older Indian films and don't mind ridiculous comedy (accompanied by funny sound effects and broad overacting), you'll probably love it. Had I been Indian and grew up with the films, I am sure I would have appreciated it much more. Finally, the film makes many references to films made before 1994 and apart from a few films where and there and the very realistic movies of Satyajit Ray, I just didn't understand the references. The acting was broad and over-the-top.and about as subtle as an episode of "Benny Hill" (at best). The sound quality was terrible.cheap and flat. But I soon realized the film would not appeal to me for a variety of reasons. I decided to watch "Andaz Apna Apna" even though it is an older Indian film because I have so enjoyed the movies of Aamir Khan.and Salman Khan to a lesser extent. But this definitely has changed in recent years, and now often Indian movies are among the best and highest quality you can find. The earlier films tended to have poor sound (the dance music sounds canned), the acting is broader quality-wise most of these earlier films don't come close to the quality of Hollywood's productions. Now I mean no offense by this, but I notice a HUGE difference in the quality of the films made before this and after.
While I have seen at least a couple hundred, which is very unusual for an American, compared to most Indians I am far from being an expert! In fact, I have noticed that nearly all the films I have seen and reviewed from India were made after the mid-1990s.
