Andaz (transl. Style) is a 1971 Indian Bollywood romantic drama film, directed by Ramesh Sippy in his directorial debut, and written by Salim–Javed, Gulzar and Sachin Bhowmick.^[1] It stars Shammi Kapoor, Hema Malini, Rajesh Khanna, and Simi Garewal.

The film was a considerable success and was important in the career of Malini as an actress.^[3] It features "Zindagi Ek Safar Hai Suhana", one of the best-known Bollywood yodels by the singer Kishore Kumar that was also featured on the soundtrack of Mira Nair's Mississippi Masala.^[4] The song fetched Kumar a nomination for the Filmfare Award for Best Male Playback Singer. When this film released, films of Kapoor were not doing well at the box office. The 10-minute cameo of Khanna is credited for turning Andaz into a hit film.^[5] This film is counted among the 17 consecutive hit films of Rajesh Khanna between 1969 and 1971, by adding the two-hero films Maryada and Andaz to the 15 consecutive solo hits he gave in that period.^[6] Further, this film is the first of the successful scriptwriting partnership between Salim-Javed.
