Boxoffy VerdictFlop
Andaz Apna Apna ended as a Flop at the Indian box office. With ₹7 Cr India nett against a reported budget of ₹5 Cr, representing a 140% return on production cost, the film failed to recover its total investment theatrically. A Flop verdict means theatrical revenue was insufficient to cover production and distribution costs — though OTT rights, satellite deals and music licensing often partially offset the losses. Industry verdicts consider theatrical performance only.
Boxoffy Read
Rajkumar Santoshi's Andaz Apna Apna flopped in 1994 and has been watched continuously ever since — the canonical Indian cult film. Aamir Khan and Salman Khan were both at or near the peak of their commercial power when they made a film that subordinated everything to comedy and generated exactly zero box office from it. The film's dialogue has entered common usage to a degree that no other Hindi comedy has managed.
