What happens

Andaz Apna Apna (transl. Everyone Has Their Own Style) is a 1994 Indian Hindi-language action comedy film written and directed by Rajkumar Santoshi and produced by Vinay Kumar Sinha. It stars Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, Raveena Tandon, Karisma Kapoor, Paresh Rawal (in a dual role) and Shakti Kapoor. The film focuses on two gold diggers who attempt to woo an heiress to have access to her father's wealth. They soon realize that the heiress has exchanged her identity with that of her secretary. By that point, one of them is genuinely in love with the heiress, and the other gold digger has fallen for the secretary. The film was released on 4 November 1994 and the plot elements of the film were later used in other language films such as Ullathai Allitha (1996), Veedevadandi Babu (1997) and Galate Aliyandru (2000). The climax of this film is a rehashed version of the climax of a 1972 film Victoria No. 203. Although the film was unsuccessful at the box office, the film has since emerged as a cult film.
