Anyway Aamir made it without big banners, without relying on any jodi and despite avoiding media and awards most of his life. Unlike others who went to extra lengths to please media, did excessive PR and still do, are chamchas of big banners and attend every award show on TV or dance at weddings and endorse paan masala to be in limelight at any cost.

Aamir may not have so called hype like SRK or Salman but has more trust among audiences and real life impact on society. His films are still studied for not just marketing but also socio cultural impact. 

No wonder he is visiting faculty at IIM A whereas others are...ahem. 

Despite less hype Aamir has broken every damn record and it is he who began 100 crore, 200 crore, 300 crore clubs, proved every detractor wrong and succeeded despite his lack of height and lack of fashion sense or style. Even his ridiculous hair styles like Ghajini cut became famous.

Definitely good achievement for a man who is supposed to be 'not a phenomenon' or lacking 'star power'.

And success of films like Raja Hindustani, Ghajini, Dhoom 3 proves Aamir can succeed even without message based scripts.

FYI his other hits like DCH, QSQT, HHRPK, Fanaa, Ghulam, Ishq, Dil, Rangeela have NO message or social issue theme at all but are still hits. Commendable success for a star who is supposed to  have 'no star power and mainly does message films'. 

Raja Hindustani, Dil, Ghajini, Dhoom 3 are top grossers of years of their release without having any social message.

Too bad other huge phenomenon like Salman and SRK failed to give hits in message based films and their message films like Phir Milenge and Swades are NOT even average grossers NOR got good openings. 

Good luck. We will see when and if or how SRK manages to 'regain' his phenomenon status which is hardly seen much post 2008. Bas ek badi hit ki talaash hai...hehe while so called small star like Aamir was breaking records with Dangal, Dhoom 3, PK and even a crap film like Thugs of Hindustan did manage to get a good opening. Let us hope 55 plus phenomenon can manage to regain part of his 90s or 2007 glories and does not have to blame govt or particular ruling party for failures of his films. 

Dhoom 3 literally killed the franchise. You bash SRK's movies and then act like Dhoom 3 is somehow good because it was popular. Its by far the worst Dhoom movie and if SRK or Salman made it you would be crying about how bad it is. Aamir's performance was a joke too. The only reason it didn't flop like Thugs is because of the franchise name

Salman was massive in the 90's as far as I remember. I have always seen him as a superstar. It's not possible for an actor to have the comeback that Salman did with wanted without an already existing fanbase and popularity among the Public. Amir on the other hand became huge in 2000's.

he was good in the 90s but terrible in the 2000s. Most of his movies flopped in that decade (apart from stuff like Partner and Wanted). SRK and Aamir were far ahead of him

Salman Khan only became a real superstar with Dabaang honestly but then he ruled the box office for a decade basically
