Before I begin,let me tell you that Aamir Khan has never been my favorite actor.Not that I disliked him,but somehow I never became an ardent follower.Always favored SRK more,but King Khan's recent antics both on and offscreen are turning him into a kontroversy king and dampening his fan following(will delve into that in a later post)
My first memory of Aamir was watching "papa kehte hain" song on TV in chitrahaar.His chocolate boy looks became a rage and I remember many people walking around with pride just because they looked a little bit like him.He was fresh out of college in QSQT and was still in college in " 3 idiots". I hope he finishes college before retirement age .Maybe "Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak" should be turned into a tagline for his college going duration ,dont you think???
The 90's saw different shades of Aamir but the other two competing Khans made more moolah than he did during that decade.Still,there were some terrific performances and hits like Rangeela,Sarfarosh,Raja Hindustani etc.But Aamir has truly come of age in the last decade.He has combined his cinematic brilliance with some shrewd business sense and metamorphosed into a fantastic creative genius.As an actor,producer and director,he has tremendous track record over the last ten years.
Combining an keen grip on current happenings with some mind-blowing marketing mantras,he has revolutionized the movie making business.While the other Khans are more infamous than famous these days,Aamir deftly alternates between innovative marketing tactics and complete invisibility.He manipulates the media smartly to achieve both commercial and critical success.Overcoming an obvious physiological shortcoming(his height/body frame) to develop a 8 pack is an astounding example of grit and determination.His foray into Television too has generated unbelievable amount of hype.The beginning has been greatly appreciated as well.
There are always two sides to the coin. Aamir has a track record of rubbing people the wrong way and has made several enemies with his perfectionist ways.If he can ultimately make more friends than enemies,his unique cocktail of mind,movies,marketing and money($$$$$) have a long long long way to go.
