Aamir Khan: Is he the hitmaker or directors?

Have you guys noticed something. Aamir Khan always gives chance to first time/lesser known directors and make them HUGE. Most of the times they fail to generate that kind of hysteria after that.

Mansoor Khan : Qayamat Se Qayamat tak. Now Mansoor Khan is almost a recluse.

and also Maya, have u noticed SRK always go after the directors who Amir made big

I completely agree. I always thought the same thing. How come all his movies with first time/lesser known directors become so huge?! Maybe he really ghost-directs or something.

I never noticed that. Good luck to the Ghajini director..

All Bolly movies have flaws. And the ones which have authenticity are the art ones which the masses don't like to the level of blockbuster because they lack the glamour of skimpily clad females or hyped superstars or scenic/stylish overseas shooting. Even Aamir movies have flaws but as compared to the rest most of his movies are shot in India (maybe except Dil Chahta Hain or bits of Ghajini). So good on him for promoting his country in that sense. And the females who act with him are normally the simple ones so strikes some chord with normalcy. And the directors he makes hit do fail to create that magic most of the time. Aamir is not the best but cud be one of the best among Nashrudeen Shah, old Amitabh, etc etc....The best feature about Aamir is his innovative quality but to the Bolly movie standard.

One of the movies listed above - Baazi with AG where he played the role of a cop and dressed up as a woman. That was in 1995, btw. Then there was "Mela" in 2000. Don't think he's had flops after that..

Another name for the list above -- Dharmesh Darshan, who directed "Raja Hindustani" which was one of the top grossers of the '90s, hasn't been able to direct any remotely successful movies after that.

If he does ghost-direct the movies, his ghost-direction elevates them to a completely different level.

Farhan with don

aushotosh with Swadesh

and now we hear Ghajini director will have next with ssrk😉

as for the topic, i think Amir's so called "interference" works in the favor of his movies...those directors may be talented but they need the brush up, which Amir provides!

Wow, I never noticed this pattern....It has to be Aamir's ghost direction because I don't understand how after these new directors work with Aamir, they produce flops or disappear....I'm sure it can be a combination anything but Aamir definitely takes movies to another level that connects well with the masses.
