What a pathetic way to generalize films!! 😆

Lets try this :

Swades: Patriotic Drama
Chak De India: Patriotic Drama
Dil Se: Patriotic Drama

Oh No, SRK has only done Patriotic Drama's!

Agneepath: Reimigination of Scarface, just watch Pacino instead of this sad copy.



Its is not generalization. Its a fact that mentioned Aamir's movies were a good ensemble cast who were all appreciated for their acting and those movies did have patriotic aspect to it (easy for you to pick on patriotism aspect and leave the ensemble cast alone cos you know that those movies weren't a treat to watch just cos of Aamir but the whole cast) .

Yup Patriotic dramas always work with the public,even if not commercially, everyone loves a patriotic theme. Though I dont think Swades is patriotic per se ( yes he came back to India but nothing else). Chak De India definitely. Haven't seen Dil Se. Yeah Border, Gadar etc worked ( and are loved) too cos of its patriotic theme.


Your way of generalizing AB's movies as trash is more amusing and pathetic infact.

so same way i am trying to dissect your list...perfectos garbage gotta go out.



Great!! Its all subjective. If you find SRK & Salman have done more quality films than Aamir, then its your opinion.

Oh, so you were giving them a genre!! Brilliant!! 😆

AMC might have a position open or PVR depending on where you live.

So what if there was an essemble cast? How does it matter?

Nobody has claimed Aamir to be the greatest actor of all time.

I believe - means nothing.

Facts are facts.

Bachchan era represented frustrations of common man of those times. This is why he is iconic. There are reasons why theses are written on those films and not usual action films before and after it. He did Abhimaan, Mili, Namak Haraam, Do Anjane, Main Azaad hoon, Silsila, Kabhi Kabhie, Roti Kapda aur makaan, Anand, Alaap, Saudagar too and none of these are action films only.
You are perhaps used to picking 4 films put of 30 films done by an actor who works seasonally. Hence do not want to sieve through massive filmography of others.

Who says only old is gold?

But problem is with "old is trash".

Aamir is the best among his contemporaries in Bollywood. Not all time best as your title seems to suggest.

BTW here are some other artistes for your topic:

Rajesh Khanna - Aakhri Khat, Anand, Aavishkar, Amar Prem, Avtaar, Namak Haraam, Khamoshi, Safar, Kati Patang, Avtaar, Ittefaq, Bawarchi
Other - Thodi si bewafai, Aakhir Kyon

Anil Kapoor

Woh 7 Din, Mashaal, Saaheb, Meri Jung, Mr India, Chameli ki shaadi, Eeshwar, Parinda, Lamhe, Virasat, Pukar, Naayak, Black and White

Raj Kapoor - Awara, Jaagte Raho, Shree 420, Jis Desh mein Ganga behti hai, Barsaat, Sargam, Anari, Phir Subha hogi, Main Nashe Mein Hoon, Mera Naam joker, Aag, Andaaz, Teesri Kasam

Feel free to trash or debate them. Till then wait for more targets to hit.

So an ensemble cast in a movie like Lagaan or RDB or DCH or 3I doesn't matter? Its the whole teams effort that made a good watchable movie cos like you said Aamir isn't the greatest actor. Its all these characters along with Aamir which made these movies your favorite. So why are you just crediting Aamir and asking ppl to beat this list of yours.


Cos for me atleast I remember each and every character who played part in these good movies and it isn't just Aamir's movies. 3I was as much Madhavans and Joshi's movie. DCH was as much Akshaye and Saif's movie. RDB was as much Sid,or Karan or Joshi movie. Definitely its also Aamir's movies cos he is the biggest star amongst them but still its a great ensemble movie for me.


Why don't we just make a list of all great just Aamir Khan movies(Like Ghajini /Fanah perhaps) where just he got the praise? Then you might just understand the importance of ensemble cast.😆

Facts?

What facts?

I think you have a hard time understanding the jist of this topic. Its all opinions. Top 10 films are not facts. Only box office numbers are facts. Everything else is opinion. Your films are also 'I believe', not FACTS.

Yes, you're right. I do have a hard time going through piles and piles of Garbage that is Bachchan's filmography before coming across something decent. I am used to a certain consistency. Spoiled, maybe.

Old is Gold, for you atleast.

Ranbir isn't as good as the Khan's. Khan's aren't as good as Bachchan. Bachchan isn't as good as Dilip Kumar. And so on. There's a pattern here but its a flawed one.

Where exactly have I given Aamir the sole credit for these films? 😆

I'm just listing his filmography and asking people, if its the best of all time.

Almost all of Big B's listed films are multi-starrers too. Infact, he played second fiddle in quite a few of them.

By discrediting the ensemble cast and asking how do they matter.😆 My point being though that post 2000s Aamir's most of the movies is just brilliant ensemble casting and story which you agree with and also agree with Aamir not being the greatest actor like most of the members implying here.So lets agree on these points.😎
