==Plot==
Amar and Prem are two daydreamers with a common aim: getting rich by marrying a rich heiress, Raveena Bajaj, daughter of the wealthy Ram Gopal Bajaj. Raveena travels to India with her secretary and friend, Karishma. She is in India to find a suitable groom. The men run into each other on a bus bound for [[Ooty]], where Raveena lives, and soon realise that they have a common goal. The two then fail at various attempts to woo the woman.

Meanwhile, they decide to insinuate themselves in her house. Amar pretends to be a man who has lost his memory after getting hit by Raveena, while Prem pretends to be a doctor. The boys do not know that Raveena and Karishma switched identities. The secretary "Karishma" is the real Raveena while the rich heiress "Raveena" is actually Karishma. Raveena switched her identity because she wanted to find a boy who will love her, not her money.

Nobody is aware that Ram Gopal has a twin brother called Shyam Gopal Bajaj, alias Teja. Teja is a criminal who has taken much money from Crime Master Gogo. Teja hopes to land the riches himself by kidnapping his brother and posing as Ram. He has also planted his cronies Robert and Bhalla in the household. Robert and Bhalla attempt to kill Raveena multiple times to no success.

Ram arrives in India and Teja plans to steal Ram's money converted in diamonds. Ram sees through the real nature of Amar and Prem, thus declining Raveena's marriage to either of them. The duo plan to fake a kidnapping where they will heroically "rescue" Ram. Unknown to them, Teja has also planned to kidnap Ram.

Teja succeeds in having Ram kidnapped. Amar and Prem go to rescue Ram, but Teja makes them believe that he is Ram and enters Ram's household. Initially, nobody suspects a thing, but the girls soon smell a rat. The boys have discovered the real identities of the girls. Prem has fallen for the real Raveena, while Amar has fallen for the real Karishma.

The girls tell their suspicions to the boys. The boys tail Teja and soon find out the truth. Here, Ram tricks Teja and escapes the prison. However, the boys mistake him for Teja, resulting in Ram being imprisoned again – with Amar and Prem. However, Amar and Prem succeed in convincing Robert and Bhalla that Ram is Teja.

The boys, along with Robert and Bhalla, stop Teja. Meanwhile, throughout the film, Robert and Bhalla are constantly harassed by Gogo who's demanding his money back. He soon discovers about the diamonds and kidnaps Ram along with Raveena and Karishma. At Gogo's lair, the boys try to control the situation along with Ram. In a comic standoff, the real motive of each villain is revealed. However, due to the smartness of the boys, police raid Gogo's lair, thus rounding up all the criminals. Ram gets his diamonds back and finally decides to let Karishma and Raveena marry Amar and Prem respectively.

==Release, reception and legacy==
The film only did moderately well at box-office; it was able to recover its budget cost mainly due to business from big cities, but did not turn out to be a massive hit contrary to everyone's expectations. It earned an excess of {{INR|5 [[crore]]}} nett in India.<ref name="bo">{{cite news|url=http://www.filmfare.com/features/100-filmfare-days-74-andaz-apna-apna-6618.html|title=100 Filmfare Days: 74- Andaz Apna Apna|work=Filmfare|date=7 July 2014|access-date=11 January 2016}}</ref> Its total domestic gross was {{INR|8.18 crore}}, and its overseas gross was $150,000, bringing its worldwide gross to {{INRConvert|8.653|c|year=1994}}.<ref name="BOI"/> It was the year's 17th highest-grossing Indian film.<ref>{{cite web |title=Top Worldwide Grossers 1994 |url=https://boxofficeindia.com/worldwide-total-gross.php?year=1994 |website=[[Box Office India]] |access-date=10 November 2018}}</ref>

The lack of publicity and tough competition from other films of that year including ''[[Laadla (1994 film)|Laadla]]'', ''[[Mohra]]'', ''[[Hum Aapke Hain Koun..!]]'', ''[[Krantiveer]]'' and ''[[1942: A Love Story]]'' were reasons for its average business.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/bollywood/andaz-apna-apna-didn-t-get-a-fair-chance-aamir-khan/story-Qf5eCpovjACIPEXAJN9k1L.html|title=Andaz Apna Apna didn't get a fair chance: Aamir Khan|last=Singh|first=Prashant|work=Hindustan Times|date=8 March 2014|access-date=12 January 2016}}</ref> Santoshi also attributes the failure to the fact that the film was not released and distributed well due to a new distributor.<ref name=rm/> All of these films were very strong in their box office presence and ''Andaz Apna Apna'', belonging to a different genre, could not compete well. It has however, in subsequent years, achieved a [[cult classic]] status among Hindi audiences.<ref name="santoshi"/><ref name="first"/>

Several dialogues from this film like "Teja main hu.

	Meanwhile, they decide to insinuate themselves in her house. Amar pretends to be a man who has lost his memory after getting hit by Raveena, while Prem pretends to be a doctor~~. The boys do not know that Raveena and Karishma switched identities~~. The secretary "Karishma" is the real Raveena while the rich heiress "Raveena" is actually Karishma.
