When did AAMIR become a brand for you? - Page 2

Aamir is a brand...no doubt in that

I believe in trying a product which suits my pocket my need so i do not believe
in Brands..so i do not consider amir as branded either.

So its clearly Aamir Khan's brand ruling, But apart from his superb acting and some suggestions to script what is his contribution? Is selecting good scripts a marvellous thing?

What else should he do now ?? He is an actor and he is not supposed to write a script and direct himself. Of course, there are other ppl involved but its purely because of aamir that the movies collects crazily.

Lets take these examples to highlight Brand Aamir

1. Ghajini was an extremely simple story and had nothing so special about it. But Aamir, with his fantastic acting (in both his versions) convert it into a blockbuster.

2. Dhoom 3 was one of the worst movies I have ever seen with a logic that - If a bank asks for repayment of the loan, it should be destroyed !! But again it was Aamir's persona that made the movie a blockbuster.

3. Dangal was very simple movie and had very less screen space for Aamir himself but he converted that too into an ALL TIME BLOCKBUSTER. Also, he was the Producer of the film, So at least for this, we can rightly say ke " kya movie banayi hai AAMIR NE !!"

So whatever u say, its the BRAND AAMIR which makes the movies blockbuster and that brand is purely based on his superb acting and brilliant script sense !!

Aamir doesn't just select good scripts. It's a misconception that a good script is enough to make a good movie. Every movie looks like a Blockbuster on paper, you can't say that any particular movie will Flop just by looking at the script. Every actor thinks that his movie will be successful when he/she signs it. But movie making is a complicated process, and things can easily go haywire. A good movie also needs good direction, acting, cinematography, dialogues, editing, production values, sound design, art direction, background score. Anything goes wrong, and the movie might end up looking like a mess. Aamir has a great knowledge of filmmaking, and he has the influence in each technical department of his movies. He also works behind the camera, and that's why takes he takes so much time in making a movie.

Never, at least not as yet

Completely agree..Aamir is a super successful star by his own virtue..why is it made to feel that his success is all luck by chance? His talent , efforts and belief is always discounted saying that the movies were good and others were responsible for them..why is he discredited for his vision and his belief in those movies?

yeah it's not luck by chance...He has worked hard to achieve it...He has seen ups and downs while doing so...He used to work in theatre...From there he got his first role and was assistant to Ketan Mehta in Holi and many short films which he did post that as an assistant director, cameraman,editor...He lost the lead role to Ashutosh in Holi bcoz he had shaved his head...Even in Raakh he had assisted the dir...Post QSQT success he had signed some 8-10 films...most of them flopped except Dil and few of them like JJWS and AAA were delayed...He knw way before that those films won't work as they were bad films...While shooting in the 5th day of shoot he knw that it was turning out to be bad,where did he land in,why did he sign them? 😆 It was the result of his signing those films just with the basic idea which interested him with no complete script...those days BW was a lot more disorganized...in some cases they used to change the storyline,sometimes even the chars,write scenes on sets...It was a result of all this that he demanded bound script in the mid 90's and did less movies and used to actively be part of each and every aspect of filmmaking...

Ghulam onwards with Mela as an exception. Lagaan onwards there is no looking back.
