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.
