Andaaz (transl. Style) is a 2003 Indian Hindi-language romantic musical film directed by Raj Kanwar and produced by Suneel Darshan. It stars Akshay Kumar, Lara Dutta and Priyanka Chopra. It is written by Robin Bhatt, Shyam Goel and Jainendra Jain. It features Lara Dutta and Priyanka Chopra[a] in their debut Bollywood film roles.

Shot extensively in Cape Town, South Africa, Andaaz's promotion centered around it being the acting debut of two beauty queens together for the first time, which Darshan considered was the film's main selling point. Its music was composed by Nadeem–Shravan, with lyrics written by Sameer. The soundtrack was a success, selling 2.5 million units and was the second best-selling Bollywood soundtrack of the year.

Andaaz was released in cinemas on 23 May 2003. The film was a box-office success, grossing ₹288 million at the box-office against a budget of ₹ 80 million. It was the ninth-highest-grossing Indian film of the year. At the 49th Filmfare Awards, it received 5 nominations, including Best Supporting Actress for Chopra, and won Best Female Debut for Dutta and Chopra. Additionally, both actresses were also nominated for the Screen Award for Best Female Debut, which Dutta won.
