Aamir has his moments.
Earth was good, and I liked him a lot in Talaash. The rest you mentioned were entertaining, and he doesn't ham and make it clear he thinks the roles are silly, which is extremely professional of him. But they didn't involve any great acting.
Thing is he *is* hailed as a great actor based on these.
When it comes to SRK, very few people actually laud him for the acting. And when JS commented they do, I responded that SRK can actually act though he seems to choose not to. And yeah, Nawaz and Kamal Hassan have commented on SRK's acting capabilities.
TBH, mainstream BW has very few *great* actors. If you want to see actual great acting, watch Fahad Faasil or Mohanlal. Or Uttam Kumar (old Bengali actor) in the Satyajit Rai film (I don't remember the name). There are some Marathi actors I don't remember the name of, too.
Many actors played "tapori" chars but not seen anyone come close to Munna.Kamal,Dhanush did try but naah.
Fahad likes Aamir and Irfan's work in Hindi cinema.He never met them.When asked about collaboration with Aamir , he said if doesn't get to work with then meet and ask how does he portray such distinct chars say like Dangal,his approach to play that char.
There are some who think he is great.
A couple of years ago Trisha Krishnan called Mohanlal,Kamal and Aamir are 3 best actors in India.
Dilip Kumar: From last 4 decade Amitabh,Aamir and Tabu are gifted performers.
My point is good or great is upto individuals.Certainly he is not average.
Fahadh,Soubin,Tovino,Nivin, Mohanlal,Parvathy, Mamooka,Dulquer,Prithvi,Revathy,Shobana,Nazariya. I have seen them all.I have seen Malayalam,Marathi,Tamil,Telugu,Kannada and few Bengali films.
If you want to see actual great acting then watch Mads Mikkelsen's European films and Tony Leung's films.
