There are a few instances when audiences, filmmakers, critics and other members of the trade such as distributors and exhibitors share the same point of view and the box-office failure of Andaz Apna Apna (1994) happens to one of those.
Released two decades ago Andaz Apna Apna (AAA) with it's casting coup that brought together Aamir and Salman Khans, two of most popular stars of the era, and pitched them with a bevy of comic legends Mehmood, Jagdeep and Devan Varma under a hotshot director in Rajkumar Santoshi was just the stuff that Bollywood dreams were made of and yet it failed to set the box-office on fire. While the mystery surrounding its lackluster first run continues to grow with each passing year, the last twenty years have seen the film transform into a cult classic whose charm only increases with each viewing.
widow -- and that his real father is serving a jail sentence for a crime he didn't commit -- Ajay Sharma (Ajay Devgan) recruits his roguish friend (Akshay Kumar) to help him round up the corrupt official (Suresh Oberoi) who's responsible. Karisma Kapoor and Aruna Irani co-star in this blend of action and comedy from director Sandesh Kohli.
