The Other Kind Of Classics - 3 - Andaz (Anil Juhi)

Teachers' Day Special!
The Other Kind Of Classics  presents - "Andaz"!
Teacher: Anil Kapoor
Student: Karishma Kapoor
Wife: Juhi Chawla

A 2nd level remake of a South Indian movie (Tamil remade into Telugu remade into Hindi), the plot is simple. A student (Karishma) falls in love with her teacher (Anil). The teacher rebuffs her and she vows to marry him. Scared, he marries an illiterate (Juhi).

Karishma is mortified by what she has put Anil through. So she tries to improve Juhi - education, manners, etc. wise. Matters get complicated when Karishma moves in with them after her father dies.

But the real reason why this is a classic because this is a combined skeleton in both Anil and Juhi's closets!
Both of them have not done anything cheap in their careers. Except here.
Since it is a David Dhawan film, cheapness is guaranteed. So also here there are 2 songs with double meaning.
"Khada hai khada hai .... Dar pe tere Aashiq khada hai"
And
"Mein maal gaadi tu dhakka laga". What poetry!

Presenting one of the daags on the chaands (Juhi and Anil).
Please see when alone.
