Well, I think Aamir was bad in the role of Samar. He wasn't convincing as a mentally challenged guy and his dialogue delivery was bad. Even in the role of Sahir, his acting was strictly average IMO. I find Irrfan and Nawaz acting natural and effortless in almost every movie. They get so much into their characters that they end up looking like common people. Same thing can't be said about Aamir according to me.
Irfan Khan is repetitive in every movie. Same facial expression, dialogue delivery, body language, eye movements. he hardly smiles in movies. He is not good in romantic or drama roles. He can't do comedy roles, although he cracks some situational jokes. He chooses roles within his comfortable zone only. He has been praised by media, only because he did some Hollywood movies as a supporting actor.
Maybe you think that he has same type of facial expressions because his way of acting is very subtle. He always puts the required energy in acting and not more than that. As I previously said he acts in such a way that he ends up looking like a common person, and common people have pretty much same type of body language. Dialogue delivery?? I think you are confusing it with accent.
He mostly stars in drama roles only. What type of romantic roles are you talking about?? A character who is in love?? He has done that in the Lunchbox and has got praised for his acting their also. You can't expect him to do SRK type romance. SRK has charm which Irrfan lacks and Irrfan has natural acting skills which SRK lacks. Irrfan is an actor, SRK is a hero. No comparison.
What's the comfortable zone of Irrfan?? What is the similarity in his roles of Piku, Paan Singh Tomar and Lunchbox?? His character had had grey shades in Madaari and Gunday. Was he acting the same in both the movies. Not good in comedy roles?? I think you haven't watched Hindi Medium yet. Many Bollywood actors have worked in Hollywood, not everyone is praised as a great actor like Irrfan. He isn't a Superstar. Neither he has great looks or body or is a good dancer. The only thing he's known for is acting. He should be good in at least in some other thing to be overhyped by the media as a great actor, like it happens with a Superstar. But anyways, to each their own. đ
