Probably, what the Chinese may not have seen is the charming romantic matinee hero that Aamir was back in the s, a part of an emerging generation of male superstars many of whom are still going great guns today and have stayed relevant: Ajay Devgan , Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar. Even though his cinema, like that of any other star of the time, was a standard fare, viewers with a keen eye could see flashes of brilliance hidden in plain sight.
Born into a film family and trained by the veteran Nasir Hussain, it would have been obvious for Khan to take the easy route. Far from being a typical Bollywood potboiler, it was very nearly an art film and was made even before Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak Also featuring the fresh-faced Juhi Chawla, their star-crossed love story in QSQT ends on a tragic note but it turned both her and Khan into overnight sensations.
Then, there was Andaz Apna Apna , Rangeela , Earth and Sarfarosh , all cementing his status as a star with a difference. He may have followed the trend in the 90s but certainly, after he was the one creating them. As some critics have noted, these films helped him take a leap from the pond to the sea.
Today, Aamir is more than a star. With an uncompromising devotion to his work, artistic intensity and a little bit of sharp marketing chops, the serious-minded Khan has created for himself a triumphant career. Feel free to disagree. Known for his unique penchant for publicity, Aamir can teach marketing gurus a lesson or two.
Apparently, Aamir has been a bit of a self-promoter from his early days. One story goes that he personally posted Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak posters on the back of auto-rickshaws. Each Aamir Khan movie is vastly different from the other. Every film, a new adventure.
And audiences crave for it. This means the actor is always thinking of new get-ups and characters to surprise his fans. For the best experience, we recommend using a modern browser that supports the features of this website. Aamir Khan is arguably India's most ambitious and accomplished actor. Most recently known as the star and producer of the colonial drama Lagaan , Khan has proven that Bollywood films can be artfully executed, address important issues, and draw large crowds both in India and abroad.
Even before the tremendous success of Lagaan , Khan was known for his outstanding integrity and intensity. While other Bollywood stars churn out dozens of films, Khan has opted to appear in one carefully chosen film a year, fully dedicating his time and energy to strong, selective roles.
In spite of all these accomplishments, Aamir is surprisingly down to earth, refreshingly unpretentious and, at least for the time being, relieved to be less well known in the US, where he can walk the streets without being mobbed by adoring fans.
Asia Society. Are you surprised at how well Lagaan has done in the international market? Yes, I am very pleasantly surprised by the reaction the film is getting outside India from audiences who do not generally see Indian films.
However, we had received a slight indication of this when the script was read by British actors, casting directors, and technicians before we began to film. That was the first time we got an inkling that non-Indian people would react very favorably to the story and the script and identify with the characters. I am really thrilled. Would you be interested in crossing over to do an American or European film? The movie revolves around a cricket match in which the villagers play against the British to get rid of the burden of agricultural taxes.
What made the movie a delightful watch is the interesting character sketches. When you know a film has bagged the National Award for Best Film, it sure is a stunning film. The unconventional storyline was a splendid watch. The theme of the movie is extremely relevant that shows how we are still looking for freedom even with the Britishers gone.
The multi-starrer film had some of the finest performances. The film also had stellar music curated for it that made it a flawless piece. Even though Aamir played a supporting role as an art teacher in the film, the storyline of the movie is a deeply emotional one that connected with the audience.
It revolves around a dyslexic boy, misunderstood by his family. He donned the cap of the director and did a great job, further proving that he is not just meant to be in front of the camera, but behind it too. Only expect Aamir Khan to do the undoable. In 3 idiots a 40 plus actor playing the role of a young engineering student and that too, so convincingly.
The movie was a massive hit and to date is one of the best and most-watched films that traces the struggles and joys deeply rooted in the lives of engineering students.
The honest storyline is extremely relatable. Sharman Joshi and R Madhavan played their part to perfection too. Aamir Khan chooses roles as per his age and that shows his experience in his career. Dangal was a path-breaking film of sorts.
