Khan was at his best playing the antagonist – something he hadn’t done before. The film takes us through the unhinged madness of that era and makes us feel claustrophobic. Her mother says Parsis are like Sugar in a glass, sweet yet invisible. It was an interesting choice as she was a kid and neutral in that madness. The film looked at Partition through the eyes of a young Parsi girl. Whether its the camerawork, the bold screenplay (just see the Train sequence), unadulterated dialogues, or that dream-like musical composition. A hauntingly beautiful track by Rahman plays in the background – it’s surreal.ġ947 Earth is one of those rare Hindi films that is technically a masterpiece. His eyes, burning with lustful jealousy are fixated at the romantic couple. Related to Aamir Khan Movies – Serpico – A Paradox Known as ‘Honest Cop’ 8) Earth (1998)Īs his object of affection makes love with her lover – he stands just outside the window watching them passionately devour each other in a lustful embrace. Their scenes and their bonding were the highlights of this Cop Drama that uncovered the working of the ISI. Much like Raakh, Aamir Khan was at his best when standing in the same frame as the legendary Naseeruddin Shah. He played the tough cop while wearing oversized loose shirts – as if they were mocking the Macho Men of Police that Bollywood had romanticized. He’s self-righteous, arrogant, and doesn’t mind having a foot race against the criminals. His character isn’t the regular Bollywood cop who smashes skull and gets into one on one combat. It’s about a no-nonsense cop who chose to be a Police officer rather than being in the IAS. Even if the basic plot isn’t very original, the treatment of the subject makes it an interesting watch.

Maybe the public wasn’t ready to see a mainstream actor do a role like that. The film bombed at the box office as it was perhaps too bleak and hopeless. The role had shades of De Niro from Taxi Driver. The highlight of the film was the towering performances by both Pankaj Kapur (he won a National Award) in a supporting role as a cop, and Aamir Khan as a young boy who can’t let go of his vendetta. His road to redemption story takes us through the dark underbellies of the crime world.
You could sense the feeling of impotence in his eyes as he’s filled with rage. A brilliant neo-noir film about a young man who can’t get over the fact that the love of his life was raped and he couldn’t save her. While ‘Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak’ might have made him an overnight superstar, it was in this film where we saw a glimpse of his raw talent as an actor. It was the first film Aamir Khan ever signed and the second one that got released.
We can have a debate on that later, but as of now here’s the list of my 10 favorite Aamir Khan Movies: 10) Raakh (1989) Image Credits: Asif Noor People at home still call me “Aamir.”So I decided to make a list of my favorite movies starring Aamir Khan – who, in my honest opinion is the Greatest Superstar Bollywood has ever seen. I won’t describe myself as a Fan as much as someone who felt like he was the Actor. And as soon as he fell while crossing the finish line in ‘ Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar‘ – I knew it was “PEHLA NASHA” – A song that defines my love for the man, and in turn the start of my love for this visual medium. As a kid, one of my earliest memories is that of the actor wearing a White Cap in ‘ Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahi‘. Let me start by saying this, movies, for me starts with Aamir Khan.
