Aamir: Taking Indian cinema ahead

Aamir is one of the most unique stories told to an Indian audience. While we still have the regulars going strong, Aamir surely bring some light and delight to the above average movie lover. Khandelwal is impressive and is here to stay, for sure..

BOX OFFICE results rule film making to such an extent that the Indian cinema has hardly seen movies, which showcase the creative freedom of a film-maker. But looks like the times are changing now. Movies such as Aamir, which have impressive and novel story lines and way of execution, irrespective of what all is being liked and appreciated, are an example that movie making has come of age. Indian cinema is surely looking ahead.


Aamir is a story of a London returned doctor Aamir Ali (Rajeev Khandelwal). While the situation at London becomes difficult after the 7/7 bomb blast, Aamir decides to get back to his family in Mumbai. And as soon as he reaches the city, he gets to know he is no more a free man but is rather ruled by a man who orders him over a mobile phone.

Aamir has to obey the caller as his family has been abducted by him, who happens to be a religious fundamentalist aiming to cause destruction. The story wrapped in a time frame of half a day, takes you on a ride across Mumbai city along with Aamir who has been chosen to carry out a specific task.
While the story line is unique, it's helped by a creative screenplay. The emotions play out pretty well, hence. The dialogues are regular lingo and keeps up to the essence. Some scenes are brilliant. For example, when Aamir goes to a toilet in a wrecked building and vomits due to the stench and gross sight of human excretion.

Technically, Aamir is sleek and compact, it has got some great photographic scenes. The editing is good. The audience will find themselves waiting to know what happens in the end. The background music, essential in such suspense dramas, is outstanding and the playback music is okay.
Talking about performance, the film is an out and out Rajeev Khandelwal movie. He is exceptionally good and shows every sign of being capable to sustain competition and carve a niche as an actor in the industry. There is hardly anyone else in the entire film. And the ones who do appear are vague and even look so.

Overall, Aamir is one of the most unique stories told to an Indian audience. While we still do have the regulars going strong, Aamir and the likes surely bring some light and delight to the above average movie lover. Raj Kumar Gupta has scored a winner as far as cinema is concerned. However Anurag Kashyap's influence is clear on him in certain scenes.
