What we like:
This Khan believes in being quality, rather than quanity. The current king of the box office after Ghajini, which is the biggest grosser in Hindi cinema yet. What sets Aamir apart from the clan that he has never been slotted. He can play a college boy (Dil Chahta Hai) and village boy (Lagaan) with as much ease. Also he has an such an understanding of script and screenplay that even average directors have made their career best films with him. Case in point (RGV in Rangeela, John Mathan in Sarfarosh and Rakeysh Mehra in Rang De Basanti. Aamir has the rare ability to get under the skin of a role and Mr. Perfectionist built a great body for Ghajini in just a few months. His role is always sharply etched and played with a finesse that defines this awesome performer. And then he turned director and wowed us again.
