Box Office: 'Andaz Apna Apna' Re-Release First 2 Days Collection

Mumbai, April 27 - Superstars Aamir Khan and Salman Khan's cult classic Andaz Apna Apna was re-released this weekend. In the first 2 days, the movie has collected a little over 50 lakh net collection, almost the same as the recently re-released Karan Arjun. ## The Rajkumar Santoshi's directorial comedy scored approximately 20 lakh net collection on its first day and around 35 crores net on Saturday, for around 55 lakh collection in the first 2 days. Interestingly, the collection so far is almost identical to the first 2 days' total of the film's original run. ## In recent times, there have been a few re-release titles which performed much better than Andaz Apna Apna, and considering that, the collection of this film is low. The makers did promote the film through social media, but it didn't work in its favour. ## Andaz Apna Apna minted approximately 5.15 crores net during its original run back in 1994, and this collection is unlikely to be matched by the repeat run. Overall, the movie has not gained much help from its cult status, and the original verdict, which was below average, won't change much. ## Stay tuned...
