Perfect cast and a good story

Disappointment for a huge fan!

To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

I had heard a lot about this movie. But somehow, never got around to seeing it. And what a time to watch it too! After having seen an interesting version of Mumbai in 'Slumdog Millionaire', here was yet another version of watching Mumbai bare itself unashamedly. What got me even more curious was that the whole crew of 'Aamir' was practically unknown and given the rave reviews it had been getting, I decided to take a chance. And boy! Am I glad I did!'Aamir' is a story of Dr. Aamir Ali who returns from London to his home in Mumbai only to find that someone has kidnapped his entire family. All he has are clues given by an unknown face and cellular phone cues that take him to a mirage of places that are simmering with lower middle class Muslims. He finds himself face to face with a society he had never seen before yet all the time doing what he is being told in order to save his family. At the end of the day he finds himself sitting on a bus with a suitcase that he has been told contains a bomb. He is then told to get off the bus at the next traffic light leaving the suitcase behind.This is as far as I want to tell you since the final few minutes of the movie are a revelation. I wouldn't go as far as to say I was completely taken aback by it or wasn't expecting it to happen, but the conviction with which a normal regular common man steps from those shadows of cowardice and attempts to personify his name 'Aamir' – a leader – was what I found most endearing. For a first time director, Raj Kumar Gupta surely treads a risky path as he tackles a burning issue in India head on. He enforces the ideologies that are so often taken for granted and makes the protagonist finally attempt the perfect antithesis of terror and a terrorist.I must say, it was quite a show. The movie albeit, is slow in parts and could have used some faster reactions from the leading man and some chop offs here and there, but these are trivialities when compared to the message the movie attempts to send across. I recommend everyone to watch 'Aamir', as such 'in the face' almost surreal seeming plots very rarely make for a good viewing.

I was pretty much dragged to watch this film and due to some screw-up in the ticket vending machine, contrived to miss the initial 5-10 minutes. Thankfully, I didn't miss much.Apparently inspired by Nick of Time and the Filipino flick, Cavite, most of the reviews have been glowing and have predictably lauded Rajeev Khandelwal for his portrayal as the hapless doctor-hero. But, credit must go where it's due: the screenplay. A majority of Hindi films compensate for poor screenplays by over-the-top lines and unnecessarily slick cinematography. Aamir scores here because of its length, dictated by a simple and tight plot.Having said that, I found a couple of scenes bit strange for my taste. For instance, what happened to the constable who chases Aamir after he makes the long-distance call? And why did he chase in the first place if he was in cahoots with the booth-owner? Also, the analogy of using a wound-up drum-beating doll as the remotely-controlled Aamir was a bit jarring and too obvious. However, these are small nitpicks in a flowing canvas and don't take anything away from the point being driven: that Mumbai (and India, by natural extension) is as much about the poor souls as it is about the wealthy, famous, and powerful.In terms of performances, the director, Rajkumar Gupta, deserves the kudos for penning and executing a tight thriller, something Bollywood is not prone to do. It would be interesting to see the kind of fare he dishes out in the future. Next is Gajraj Rao, who breathes spiteful vengeance with his malevolent rhetoric. Jhilmil Hazarika, as the leering hooker, is crass and clichéd. The rest of them are just there to make up the numbers. However, Rajeev couldn't have asked for a better launch vehicle, given a meaty role most seasoned actors would give their right hands for. He emotes accurately at the right moments and as the bread winning protagonist, appeals to middle-class families. Watch it without any expectations, but whether you want to delude yourself by thinking it can't happen to you, is completely up to you.

The movie really proved to be an "Eye Opener".The places shown really depicts the condition of people living miserably with/without knowing it.Aamir's character of a non-discriminating individual was nicely portrayed. Amazing acting by Rajeev. Man, I liked his acting since "Kahin To Hoga". His role in "Left-Right-Left".The end left me with mixed emotions. There was a bitter feeling about the reporters' Terrorist Coverage's statements.The movie did make an impact. At least for people like me (with Amir's Thinking). It deserves an award. "Piece of work".

Aamir is a nice film and can be seen although the subject is inspired of 2005 released Cavite . The title is played by Rajeev Khandelwal, and watching him on small screen i always doubted him but his performance did astonished me. And I was glad this guy could really act too. He was perfect with the emotions part, since he didn't had more dialogs he expressions for portraying the emotions were really good. But what lacked is his voice, I believe if he has a bit heavy voice he can surely do wonders. Coz when you see him in the film in scenes where he's suppose to be agitated and angry and whenever he shouts, the expression were OK but his voice is so low pitched that it just didn't faired the moment completely. Nevertheless, when I expected nothing from him. He certainly gave me a pleasant surprise.
