Because if we took the film, or their characters, at all seriously, then they would be terrible terrible people! Both of them are sons of respectable hard-working small businessmen (a barber and a tailor). We need this ten minute intro to set the tone of the film before we meet our “heroes”. Right off the bat, we should know this is going to be a heightened kind of film, where nothing is as it seems, and nothing really matters. Ha! In ten minutes, they made fun of the standard ridiculous meet cute of Indian film, our assumption that Juhi Chawla would be playing a character not just “Juhi Chawla”, the fantasies fans have about female stars falling in love with them, and our assumptions about characters played by Aamir Khan being noble and decent. She wants him to marry her! And manage her money! She will keep working, just keep her “distance” from her heroes, and he will take all the money! True Love!Īnd then Aamir wakes up because it was all a dream. They talk about how she acts opposite Sunny, Shahrukh.

Aamir takes her to the set, and meets her film friends.

He comes up and offers to help, we think it is a meet cute between the two leads of the film, but no! She is really Juhi Chawla, movie star, and she needs a ride to a film set. And it is brilliant! Aamir Khan is riding down the road on a bike (just like in Jo Jeet Wohi Sikander), when he sees Juhi Chawla trying to fix her car.

It’s the same kind of gag as the opening of Zamaana Deewana, but unlike in Zamaana Deewana, it isn’t just a one off, it is the beginning of a whole series of gags of the same type. It works great for a repeat watch though! Or even a first watch, so long as someone has warned you in advance what kind of movie this is. But instead, people just got really really confused right from the beginning. Which brings me to the first ten minutes of the movie! I can picture people in the theater watching it when it first came out, going “huh? What? I don’t understand!!!!” I think the filmmakers thought they could set the tone right from the beginning by putting the most ludicrous gag at the front of the movie. They are all playing versions of their star personas, but revealing the emptiness and shallowness of those personas. And, most of all, the stars are a joke! Aamir’s character is called “Aamir”, and Salman is “Prem”! Raveena is called “Raveena” and Karishma is called “Karishma”. Every love song has a gag hidden in it, every romantic dialogue is a bit too silly, every”evil” plan has an inevitable flaw, even the costumes are purposefully a bit too-too. Not just to Indian society and so on, but to Indian films! Right from the beginning, it takes all the usual magical elements, and turns them into a joke. Which is supposed to be the best way to see it, when you’ve already watched it once for all the big plot points, and are ready to come back and just watch it for the jokes.

I finally watched Andaz Apna Apna! Well, re-watched it. So, today you get a bunch of Aamir reviews I wrote and posted already being reposted! Fun fun fun! And also wanting to pull together an Aamir index to go with my Shahrukh and Hrithik and Salman indexes. Happy Aamir Day! No reason besides my being swamped at work and needing to fall back on reruns.
