Can't fecking believe i missed it. Saw the advert then got watching CSI. Bollocks
I missed it to- anyone know where i can download it?
Saw his new movie yesterday.. i know hes a 40 year old playing a college student, but a very good film.
Amir Khan.. Maker of Rubbish films...
Hes an actor.vijay said:
And Rang De Basanti was excellent.

He also produces crap movies like Lagaan. As an actor Shah Rukh is miles ahead of this bloke as he comes from a theatre background but he is only intrested in acting in the so called mainstream crap.
Its a good entertainer to kill time like Dil Chahta Hai.. in no way a trend setter. We usually reserve the word excellent for some movies like Manthan, HeyRam, Kaalapani, Earth ...not a masala entertainers like Rang De Basanthi or a spasticed wannabe panorama movie like Lagaan.
Normally I don't like Hindi movies but Rang de Basanti was pretty good especially by Bollywood standards.
Certainly not a typical commercial masala Bollywood movie.

Shah Rukh is a rubbish actor.. acts the same everytime.vijay said:
Amirs a class actor and Lagaan was brilliant.

SRK acts in useless movies but not an useless actor - he has a theatre background. If he was useless he would not have survived at the dramas. Aamir tires to act smart by acting in offbeat movies but he is caught wrongfooted because of his limitations.
I like cricket but Lagaan was a poorly made movie in terms of screenplay and other technical stuff.
Shah Rukh acts one way.. hes mastered the art of being a ham. He does that well.vijay said:
Aamir is a quality actor, his movies have something different to offer(atleast the few iv seen). Dil Chahta Hai was the first movie(commercial) which properly showed Urban India and was good entertainement as well.. Rang De Basanti i like.. it has a message to give.. the direction is quite brilliant, how the parrellelism is done. Lagaan i just loved.. maybe because of how much i like cricket.. but theres just something about it.

Aamir Khan lacks the body language and the acting talent of Sharukh to replicate the roles in Darr, Anjaam, Dilse, Ashoka, and a brilliant cameo in Hey Ram. Shahrukh acts in some sterotype roles but Aamir khans movie dosent reflect the quality of Indian cinema or classics either. Including Shahrukh there are 10 or 15 Indian actors that are better than Aamir Khan.
Excellent, brilliant and other terms are reserved only for some trend setter movies made by Dr Ray, Sridhar, Dr Mrinal Sen, Shyam Benegal, Dr Adoor Gopalakrishna or even Mani Rathnam, Priyadharshan and Kamal Hassan not for some melodramitic crap with stupid song sequences like Lagaan.
I dont watch too many Hindi movies.. Iv only started watching of late and the only ones i do watch are the 'Multiplex' movies.. SRK has come of late in Kal Ho Na Ho, Kabhi Khushi Khabhi Gam, Chalte Chalte, Veer Zaara and then going back to DDLJ, Bazigar.. His movies in the last 5 years are all the same.. he acts the same in each and every one. The older ones still had something different.vijay said:
Iv seen little of Aamir.. whatever i have seen has been very good.
I doubt you have even seen Rang de Basanti.
It's far cry from normal Indian movie. Director has left some Bollywood masala touches in first half for the masses like it but it is no where near like the happy go lucky flick Dil Chatta Hai was. Off late movies on similar themes have been made - Yuva, Hazzaron Khwahesihn , this certainly is the best of the lot. Direction is possibly the best thing of the movie, the same director made Aks before, which was a rubbish concept but again was directed well. Rakesh Mehrais definitely better than Mani or Priyadharshan
As far as Aamir, Shahrukh issue goes. The fact is SK have been acting in right rubbish movies off late, even Paheli was shite. He has become a yes man of top banners in India who repackage in different box. Aamir scores a lot of point for versatility. He has been pretty good in his last few movies- RDB, DCH, Lagaan, Earth, Sarfrosh, Ghulam.

Thought Rang De Basanti was excellent. Sure, there were some typical bollywood elements in it, like the ending.. but as it is i think were too harsh on our movies. The direction was the best part.. the way he connects the past freedom struggle to the present and these college students, its a very hard task and i thought it was done very well.crappycraperson said:

Its a far cry from a normal Hindi movie not an Indian movie. Hindi movies are basically for mainstream/gibberish audiences and were never a trend setter or a bench mark for Indian movies at the International film festivals. After 70's the quality of Hindi movies have gradually getting worse and now has gone totally rubbish. Yuva, and Hazzaron Khwahesihn and failed panoromic attempts like Lagaan and Mangal Pandey are good examples
Oh dear! I agree reviewing a movie is matter of opinion. But your estimations would cringe any average Indian movie fan.
Versatility. SRK is an actor. He started his career at the stage,telivision and gradually entered in to movies. If he had been realy rubbish he would not survived at the theatre level. Sharukh earned his bread and butter as an actor and slowly rose to stardom. Aamir like all other modern day cronies entered movies because his dad was a producer and probably he was unproductive for any other profession.
Apart from Earth, the rest were in the same sterotype mode. Choclate hero or typical masala super hero... Any half decent actor even can play these roles

It dosen't require great brains to lift the storylines and screenplay of Jerome Robbins and some Eroupean movies with communist ideologies and make a movie out of that.
Agreed Indian movies are rubbish. 80% time they are concerend with a love story or traingle or whatever. Off late atleast there has been an attempt to make movies of a different subject matter. They still have the masala element but it would improve with time if Indian audience finally develop a taste.
An average Indian movie fan has rubbish taste at movies. You were the one who mentioned Mani and Priyadharshan, who make typical Hindi movies.
Again, SRK has been acting absolute shit movies off late. He may have all the acting talent in the world, he doesn't have the balls to try something off stream. Over last 5 years, Amir Khan has been easily the better actor.

He's a class act. He's only fighting average boxers at the moment, though. But I reckon he'll be amongst the best fighters in a couple of years.
