Andaz Apna Apna
D**S
Solid Gold Silliness
This is rapid-fire loony tunes humor at its most absurd--and I mean that in the best possible sense. Aamir's flawless comic timing and Salman's free-form goofiness are a killer combination. The entire supporting cast is first-rate, notably Paresh Rawal. Three of the four songs are reasonably catchy, while the other is high on the list of funniest musical sequences I've ever seen. Although the English subtitles don't do full justice to the dialog, the physical comedy, sight gags, and sound effects keep the scenes moving at full speed. You really have to see this movie to believe it, and it only gets funnier with repeated viewings.

Hilarious Spoof
This movie should not, under any circumstances be taken seriously. It's completely daft, utterly ridiculous and profoundly silly, but really good fun. If it doesn't make you laugh, I'll eat my hat! Songs are nice too; what more could you possibly want?! Just can't help myself--really like this movie. Even though a few of the jokes whizzed over my head as I'm not all that familiar with older Indian movies, I still really enjoyed it. It gets funnier the more times you watch it too, so good value for money!

This is by far the best movie I have seen
This is by far the best movie I have seen. In today's age of cheap humor this is amovie without any cheap humors and in fact all the characters are so brilliantly written. The other movie where even the supporting actors were given their due and still remember by avid movie lovers is most likely Sholay.

Ye Lo Ye Lo, or is it ello ello
It is hard to believe that any of the actors in Andaz apna apna still had a career after making this film. The production quality is poor. Acting is past melodramatic being somewhat like escaped mental patients. Much of the time the acting is like 9-year old children acting like adults pretending to be 9-year old children. We have watched over 50 Indian films and have around 30 films in our collection. Many of these films, that we love, have some silly scenes that are hard to watch but AAA is 100 percent made of silly scenes.The song "Ye Lo Ye Lo", however, is completely wonderful. The clicking rhythm that drives this song is based on the hooves of trotting horses pulling 2-wheel carriages. The carriages roll through beautiful countryside much like the train in Dil Se (chaiya chaiya). Instead of dancing, Aamir and Raveena present choreographed expressions and antics that remarkably seem real and make this song a must see. The vocals in this beautiful song are sometimes eye-watering sweet.For some reason AAA is a much loved Indian film. Maybe along the lines of Abbot and Costello, Laurel and Hardy, and Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis this movie is better than I think it is. It's only the beautiful "Ye Lo Ye Lo" that lifts AAA to a 3 for me.

10 years later and still laughed my guts off
I've seen this movie many times so I am biased. Purchased DVD so I could introduce my American friends to slapstick Bollywood. It's a funny movie and the DVD/print quality is pretty good.

Silly, Charming, Forgettable
Young con-men Prem (Salman Khan) and Amar (Aamir Khan) both set out to woo and win the same rich girl, but comic complications arise. (Raveena Tandon and Karisma Kapoor also star.)Watching this movie is like watching an episode of the Monkees: it is ridiculously silly, and yet has it's own sweet charm. Sadly, the musical numbers do not add anything to it, the plot is predicable, and the humor gets tedious at times. While it's a cute movie, it's best watched in small doses and with the understanding that, in the end, it's not particularly memorable.
