Today I watched this film again, this is one great film which was way ahead of it's time.

The performance of Aamir as ice candy man is flawless, for me the best act by aamir till date. Show again why is he one greatest actor India has produced. The way he changes his emotion through face and, body language is quite amazing. Dil Nawaz has to be best character aamir has played.

I know they are many other performance he is been known for, but this hardly gets mentioned compared to other films


WHY???

I also really love this movie. Aamir's performance was breathtaking. Nandita Das and Rahul Khanna did a great job, too. I saw the movie years ago and still remember how powerful it was.

His act as Ice candy man still sends shivers down my spine...gosh what a superb performance of a man who turns into a beast consumed by his own jealousy...

So glad you brought up this topic! Indeed, 1947 Earth is one of Aamir's finest yet most underrated performances till date! The last scene where he gets hold of Shanta and takes her away from the safety of the Parsi Family is one of the most chilling scenes that I have seen in a bollywood movie!😲
Another scene that is etched in my memory is the one where he sees Hasan and Shanta make love...the expressions that Aamir's character has on his face and the way his eyes cloud with tears yet burn with rage and jealousy were so perfectly done! Can't imagine, any other actor to nail that scene in the way that Aamir did! What a pity, that he too had to fall for commercial considerations and from doing class acts like this film, he ends up doing Ghazini's and what not!😕 (Not that doing commerical pot-boilers can ever take away the fact that he is infact, one of the best and most talented actor that our country has ever seen!)
The songs were so beautiful, that I till date listen to them...especially Dheemi Dheemi! One of ARR's masterpiece compositions!
It as Deepa Mehta's best work till date and probably one of the finest films made on the theme of partition and hindu-muslim conflict!

Thank you for mentioning this film! One of the best films ever made. Absolutely loved the film and Aamir's performance was one of his best. He was at his finest as Ice-Candy Man!

1947 Earth is Aamir's most under-rated movie.
It was India's official entry to Oscars in 1999 and won accolades at several film festivals. But sadly, today people don't even remember the movie.
Biggest disappointment was that Aamir's such intense performance went unnoticed. The climax was pure class act. It was tight slap in the face of critics who said Aamir can't pull off negative role.
Nandita Das and Rahul Khanna too did great job. Basically, it was an off-beat movie. That's why it flopped.
