Looking 20 at 44: Aamir Khan in 3 Idiots

posted in Uncategorized |

aamir_khan_has_aamir-k01

Just happened to see the trailer of 3 Idiots and I was surprised to see Aamir look so young. Its amazing how he has managed to play a 20yr old at 44, with so much of zeal and elan.

Apart from the face, even the lean look, the hairstyle, body language, gait and even mannerisms. Aamir seems have worked on everything to make his character look real on screen.

The best thing about Aamir whenever he takes up a role and involves himself in it, he completely leaves out traces of his own personality out. He is so effortless and natural with his acting that you never feel you are watching a ’superstar enact the role’ as it happens with say Shahrukh and Salman who just cannot forget their ’superstar’ tag for even once while acting – its so evident in their performances!

You never feel that you have seen Aamir in a similar performance before. It is probably this passion that makes him undoubtedly the best actor in India. Not about rivalries folks but professionally – as an actor, on grounds of passion, dedication and hard-work – Aamir definitely has an edge over all the other actors!

Agree?

    I don’t know about ‘best actor in india’– that’s pretty big. BUT I love all that you’ve said about Aamir. Do I think he looks 20? No, but he’s done a damn good job trying. He does look younger, though; I agree.

    I haven’t seen a Salman-without-the-superstar performance yet, but I have seen a few of Shah Rukh’s. Though acting as a superstar isn’t always a bad thing– sometimes it’s what the audience wants. =)

    Did we see a different trailer? I like Aamir but he did not look 20 in the trailer unless 20 now looks like 30+.

    He is too old to keep playing college students. He even looked too old for the role in RDB but the movie worked anyway.

    excuse me….??? what sort of rubbish is this?? this is going to far. saying that aamir is the best actor in bollywod is just going way way way too far. how can u even say that?? i hate salman but even i say that salman is way better than aamir. and to sibtain srk fans (including me) dont need to cry cause we still know that whatever people say srk is always the best and will always be the best! aamir is nothing copared to srk cause aamir is just showing off his ghajini packs and rubbish but srk never shows off. thats what make him the best. u might hate srk but u cannot ignore him!!

  10. 10 On November 1st, 2009, J..... said:

    and its aamir who has a tag on his chest saying “buy my watches” on advertisments not srk and salman. thats like saying that a lie is the truth and the truth is the lie……..
    AAMIR UGLY FACE IS NOWHERE NEAR AS GOOD AS SRK!! aamir sucks and will suck for ever.

    WOW again the editor proved how bias he is. first he doesnt look 20. second the movie doesnt even look all that great. third y did u bring up srk and salman?? amir is definately not the best actor. srk is way better just watch the movies. its only some indians who think amir is. and srk and salman have given performances without the “superstar feel”. watch salmans earlier films and all of srks film. its the SCRIPT AND WHAT THE DIRECTOR TELLS U TO DO. tzp wasnt good at all it was just low minded ppl having sympathy because it was about about a kid with autism or w/e i fell asleep after the first 5 minutes. its ok to be biased but c’mon ur going overboard kid.

    You are right. Aamir is very talented, and sure one of the best actors in the world. But be realistic, the charm that SRK has, no one in the world has that.

    But I think Srk wil surpass everyone with his acting skills after you have seen My Name Is Khan. I think NMIK wil be his best movie ever.

    Aamir in his own serious way is one of Bollywoods best actors! I would love to see him in a comedy.

    I agree aamir looks younger than both khans which is sad :( he is shorter than them too :( but there are films srk and salman acted as superstars and not superstars like srk first part in K3G or Don he was acting like a superstar but watch him in Darr, Baasigar, DLLJ, Swedes or Chack De India he was none sperstar.

    Salman again he was like superstar in films like Partner but watch him in all his earlly films and Tere Naam and even now in London Dreams. So its characters they’re playing not like they’re acting by themselves. Whatever Aamir doesn’t look alike 20 yrs old but definitely 30+ yrs old.

    AAMir is rocking…No one dare to come closer to perfectionist,Ace,versatile khan of two decade..Forget about No1 position.No one is even second to AAMir khan.He has set so high standards for acting & versatility that none of the star actor is closer to him.He has changed the way of cinema.His contribution to society is much more appreciated & acclaimed in last decade.He is the hearthrob of millions.He is the only star actor whose 4 film went to Oscar.He has crashed all box office recors for which SRK & his gay team used to boast.Now these days Karan is saying I dont see box office result.AAmir have proved in all types of cinema whether it is cmmercial or Art( Raakh & Earth 1947)..Now tell me you all doggy fans who dare to be beside AAMIR the ACE KHAN….WAIT & WATCH …3 IDIOT IS AGAIN INCHING TOWARDS NEW HISTORY OF BOX OFFICE

    best actor in bollywood- big call. certainly not the most succesful and definately not the most attractive!

    he’s so cocky, how he never bothers going to awards shows. so much for loving his fans.

    I absolutely love aamir khan. if not the best, he’s definetely one of the best actors in india. he completely transforms into his characters. I loved it when lagaan and dil chahta hai came out around the same time and he did absolutely amazing with both, completely different, characters. he’s really great.

    Amir khan is definitely the best actor.

  29. 29 On January 20th, 2010, The Desi said:

    I agree, he is the hardest working actor with appeal to international audiences. He is a real actor, not just play phony acting loike the other Khans. May he be blessed with continued success, and may he entertain us in the utmost zeal.

    Nothing like brand Aamir – SRK cannot come anywhere close and dare not – Here in UAE, Etisalat is the no.1 telecom company and they have roped Aamir for their India launch for a whopping 35 crores – the highest amount for an Indian – That shows the value of AAMIR – Bollywood is ‘zero’ w/out Aamir – Du, the second operator of UAE, took SRK for 11.5 crores and SRK not even looking the quality of the company gave his nod – This shows he has no brains since Du is one sick company in every regard – Ask anyone out here and you will know – Even, this is the case of Dish TV v/s Tata Sky – Aamir looked at the quality and signed on the latter whereas Dish TV lags behind in all respects.Take another example of Oscar’s = Has SRK seen this @ any point in his life? Aamir looks different and wants to look different – SRK has been having the same style for all these years.Let’s stop this topic here and conclude – AAMIR IS EMPEROR – BADSHAH – KING and his talents are awesome and way ahead than any of his counterparts.Nothing against SRK, but, it is Aamir who rocks and rightly, no.1 – Remember Aamir had challenged SRK to be #1 and here he is.

    Friends,I used to be a Shah Rukh fan but that all changed when Aamir’s acting spoke of itself.In every way, I could feel Aamir better.Now, I am a die-hard Aamir fan. He has changed my mindset. His movies convey a message. He can be compared to Kamal Hassan who has the acting skills. SRK can be compared to Rajnikant who has more support from the masses due to his dances and romances- those movies doesn’t carry a message at all. DDLJ, KHNH, KKKG,DTPH,etc. had the same team while all Aamir movies come with a new theme. He is just wonderful. I am sad at me wasting years not looking at talent. Now, just imagine and think well, you will see Aamir up there much above Shah Rukh.Bye, Jomol.
