Andaz Apna Apna......

Perhaps the best comedy movie ever made in Bollywood would be Andaz Apna Apna...It is my favourite movie, and I cannot get bored of watching it ever. I have watched the movie more than 70 times atleast. But each time, the movie seems equally hilarious and entertaining...Yeah, u can call it obsession... i dont care...
One of the aspects of the movie is the Overacting of the actors. Everything is shown extravagant. This virtue makes the movie even more funnier. I think the director just explained the shot to the actors, and let them perform it according to their own will... this is clearly evident in the totally natural and free flowing humor and presentation of the same. Aamir Khan's 'Aila' and Salman's 'Ooi Maa' are truly clowning. The characters are also interesting. Robert with his peculiar 'Galati se mistake ho gaya' and Bhalla with his ever sinister 'Pilaan' add to the humor coefficient. Paresh Rawal with a double role is twice as good. Shakti Kapoor as Crime Master Gogo has also played a blinder and made the audience roar with laughter.
Personally, I have the entire movie etched in my brain, but a few incidents and dialogues steal the show...One of my favourites here is Amir n Salman's conversation in the bus..."Mehta Textiles ... Choudhary and Sons..." Another such scene is when Teja unravels his future plans in front of his twin, Ram Gopal Bajaj..." Bread ka Badshaah, aur Omlette ka Raja, Bajaj....hamaara Bajaj......." The last fight, especially Salman's rope antics, and his virtual duel with Gogo, are simply amazing.
The movie's music is also pleasing...All songs have a traditional old-song like score. (However, I should not be commenting on anything related to music else ppl will report me as bogus....lol..)
When u watch a movie so many times, u look for the minute details ... like the amount Amir pays Teja as ransom... 8535 rupaye, 29 paise.... Amir's latest hair cut...La Coupe France de Hair.... then Bhalla's Sharbat-e-jannat, and Guldasta-Gule-e-Pakaavli, not to mention Vasco De Gama ki Gun...everything in this movie is unorthodox. The scene where Amar n Prem walk with Hands Up , behind Gogo, is really, sum imagination on the director's part. also, when u observe, most dialogues are repeted twice in the movie...'Kyon nahi Kyon Nahi.. or ..Uthal Puthal, Uthal Puthal??? But perhaps, the most unnoticed shot is that of a fighting extra, which lasts less than 5 secs, but had left me n my friends rolling wid laughter.... heres a screenshot, c for ur self and then u'll understand....
AAA, for some strange reason, didnt rock the box-office at the time of its release in 1994, but its popularity increased with time. These days, there are large no of AAA fans all around. Its a real classic and i'll never get bored of watching it again and again ....
