Aamir Khan – Mr. Perfectionist Of Bollywood

One of the three Khans, Aamir Khan is known for his exceptional works and typical choices for the films he acts in. The actor was first seen as a child actor in Nasir Hussain’s film Yaadon Ki Baaraat in 1973. But he began his major career in Bollywood with the tragic romance movie Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak. The film proved to be a massive hit that bagged many Filmfare awards and also included the actor’s Best Debut Filmfare award. It was described as the trend-setting film for Indian cinema for the romantic genre films of the 90s.

Aamir Khan Career

Filmed before Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak, the 1989 release Raakh being a commercial failure was still highly critically acclaimed. This bagged the actor National Award for special mention for both his initial workpieces. Barring the 4 out of 5 release for Aamir in 1990, namely Awwal Number, Tum Mere Ho, Deewana Mujh Sa Nahin, and Jawani Zindabad, the 5^th release Dil with Madhuri Dixit was a big success. His other popular hit works also include Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikander, Hum Hain Rahi Pyaar Ke, Rangeela, and Andaz Apna Apna. The last one alongside Salman Khan was a blockbuster both critically and commercially but had also received negative comments which were overturned through the course of years.

Aamir Khan Movies

But the actor also went through a purple patch during the years 1992 and 1993 with movies like Isi Ka Naam Zindagi, Daulat Ki Jung, and Parampara. Adding to the misery was Time Machine, the movie which was shelved due to financial constraints. But he finally got fame and glam with the movie Raja Hindustani which also starred Karishma Kapoor because this was the movie which finally got him the Filmfare award for Best Actor after previously being nominated for 7 times.

This also went on to become the biggest hit of the year and third highest grosser of the year. Next, he acted in movies like Ishq and Ghulam, which were big hits as well. The 1999 release Sarfarosh was also a great turnout with great commercial and is also considered to be the best performance of Aamir Khan. 2001 brought in Lagaan for Aamir, which certainly proved to be a career turning film. 

This became a critical as well as a commercial success handing the actor several awards. Including the National Film Award and also his second Filmfare award for Best Actor. This success was followed by the still loved movie Dil Chahta Hai later that year. This film bagged the Filmfare Award for Critics Best Film.
