Even a bad film teaches you, says Aamir

Actor Aamir Ali reveals that horror flicks leave him feeling uneasy. "I can watch all genres of films but horror," he says in a coy manner. The 1990 blockbuster Agneepath is Aamir's favourite Bollywood movie. Indeed he is a big Amitabh Bachchan fan and cannot help admiring Big B's talent and charisma.

The actor, who recently made his debut with a big banner and was much appreciated for his performance in I Hate Luv Storys feels that his passion for watching movies and his perseverance helped him understand and perform his role better.

"I simply love watching movies, and never enjoyed reading books as much. Watching a movie observantly can be a great learning experience. Even a bad film teaches you what not to do," says Ali.

Maria Full of Grace is one Hollywood flick which left the actor spellbound. Promos leave a strong impact on him and he cannot wait to watch a movie with impressive trailers.

However, he agrees that they can be deceptive at times. "There have been so many times when I went for a movie with high expectations set by the promos, but it turned out to be a claptrap." Yet he sits through the entire movie. "Walking out of the cinema hall is kind of rude," he smiles.

His Playstation is his second addiction after movies. "I had to give up my Playstation just because it kept me so occupied that I wouldn't get time to watch films."

Ali would love to play any of the lead characters in Dil Chahta Hai. Aamir's role in particular well defines Ali's real self. He loves watching hardcore action as well as romantic films.

Hesitatingly, he admits, "I am a manageable romantic. I can manage to just about enough that my girl will not ditch and leave me (laughs)".

After a hard day of work, Ali loves to watch some light stuff such as 3 Idiots or any of the funny Jim Carry starrers.
