From flop to cult

Despite not getting as much visibility at the time of release, today Andaz Apna Apna is a cult comedy.
The movie's dialogues have become popular lexicon, a feat only achieved by Sholay (1975) and Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron (1983) before it.
Parodies from Seeta- Geeta, Sholay, Papa Kehte Hain, Dekha Hai Pehli Baar (Saajan) and Mast Mast (Mohra) made this movie extremely lovable.
