Apna Apna Andaz

By Avishkar Bharadwaj with 6.5

comedy · Short Films · hindi

Much like the cult favourite film Andaz Apna Apna, Apna Apna Andaz's narrative too comes to be marked by slapstick comedy and a significant presence of the buddy film genre as two characters find themselves in a misadventure involving their love for cinema, indifferent police officers, concerned hospital staff and confusion that threatens to engulf the entire situation.

The story of the film is of one night - the night of the release of the aforementioned iconic film, while two passionate fans are determined to catch it come hell or water. The situation that ensues after their tickets are lost to pickpockets forms the main body of the plot. Despite a few anachronistic slips, the film manages to tell a complete story, marked by moments of humour, while also overcoming the limitation of its resources with the enthusiasm of its young team. The consequent energy and verve that thus constitutes the final product leaves the door open for more storytelling by them.
