Andaz (English: Style) is a 1949 Indian Urdu/Hindi film, directed by Mehboob Khan with music by Naushad. The film stars Dilip Kumar, Nargis and Raj Kapoor in a love triangle. Cukoo and Murad also appear in supporting roles. The film's lyrics are by Majrooh Sultanpuri.
At the time of its release Andaz was the top grossing Hindi film ever, until its record was broken by Raj Kapoor's Barsaat that same year.
Neena (Nargis) is the spoiled daughter of a rich businessman (Murad). One day while horseriding she loses control of her horse and is rescued by a young man named Dilip (Dilip Kumar). Dilip instantly takes a liking to her and starts to frequently visit her house where he entertains her with his singing along with Neena's friend Sheela (Cukoo). Nina's father dislikes this; he tries to make her realise that spending so much time with Dilip is not wise, as Dilip might misconstrue their friendship as love. On the day of Sheela's birthday party, Dilip realises he has fallen in love with Neena and tries to tell her. However, tragedy strikes on the same day when Neena's father dies of a heart attack, leaving Nina devastated. Dilip comforts her and Neena gives him the responsibility of looking after her father's business and staying in a spare room at her home.
Dilip tries to confide in Neena about his feelings for her, but her fiance Rajan (Raj Kapoor) returns from London. Dilip is shocked that Neena had not mentioned that she was already engaged and in love. Rajan and Neena eventually get married, and Dilip finally reveals his true feelings for Neena on the wedding day. Neena is shocked by Dilip's revelation as she thinks of him only as a friend. Dilip tries to leave, but stays to avoid any suspicion from Rajan.
