I envy Aamir Khan

I envy Aamir Khan not for his stardom & his female following nor because he like bollywood’s serial kisser manages to kiss all his co-stars and of course not for his personal life.

I envy him because he lives at his own terms, does work which he like, enjoys his work and when he delivers not only people enjoy his work but also go home with some food for thought.

I am forced to blog about Aamir after watching his latest movie – “Rang de basanti”. The movie is mix of Dil Chata Hai and Lagaan. & much better than both of them. The way he (I should give credit to the director) manages to blend the history with present is amazing. The punchline for the movie – a generation awakens is just Perfect. The simplicity with which he has been able to bring out that its not extraordinary people who do extraordinary things but ordinary people who rise to the occasion is proof of his talent. The movie make you realize that you need not be born before 1947 to be part of the freedom struggle. And while he was stubbly making his point he never forgot the point that his job is to entertain. It’s a landmark film for the Indian Film Industry and a standard for others to meet.
At times you get a good view inside the mind of these creative minds through their creative piece. I am not sure how much Aamir was involved in developing the plot for Toyota Innova advertisement but it seems that it was his idea. His last line “I just need to keep moving ahead” sums it all.
