Aamir - A true INDIAN


I took Hindi as third language for three years in my school.Let me be very clear here. I took Hindi as third language.... But i never learned it ;-)... Here is the most funniest part. I copied from two of my friends in Hindi exam and got 95% but they managed to get only 85% :-)... Till now i can read Hindi but cant speak ;-) [but i can understand few words... thanks to my north Indian friends :-)].A big thanks to the English subtitles which helped me in watching Hindi movies.Jokes apart. Lets be a bit serious.

"WHO IS THIS AAMIR?".. A Muslim who returns home (India)after practicing doctor in London and gets trapped into a terrorist act unknowingly. Wanna know the state of Muslims in India?....... The airport scene where the customs officer checks aamir's belongings again and again(as he is a Muslim) is a perfect example(Its not the way India looks at Muslims but by most of the world countries).Aamir Ali finds that no one from his family has come to welcome him. When he tries to call his home, no one replies.At this point two strangers come to him and hand over him a mobile.Aamir has no other option(coz his family is held by the terrorist) except listen to what the villain says.This is where the run begins(Both for the hero and us).
Aamir is an ordinary guy who wanted to finish his medicine and live a peaceful life with his family(mother,two sisters and a brother..... It gives an additional sentiment to the hero's character).But he gets framed into a dreadful plan by a group of terrorists to do a bomb blast in a bus. Aamir wants to write his own destiny. But here the baddy writes Aamir's destiny.Rajeev Khandelwal does his best as Dr. Aamir Ali. Another one into the list of best actors of Indian cinema.The cinematography is excellent. He does a neat job in making this movie a perfect thriller. The music director(Amit Trivedi) keeps the pace of the movie steady. And the editor(Aarti Bajaj) keep you glued to the seat till the end. The technical team give the perfect support to the director(Rajkumar Gupta). The natural locations(crowded roads and streets with no junior artists) without any sets makes us easily get into the movie.

I am happy that even Indian cinema can bring out movies of this sort.This movie portrays how innocent people are pulled into terrorism.How a man's life takes a sudden diversion because of the selfishness of a group of terrorists.The climax raises your blood pressure. What will Aamir decide? his family or his country?. The end.... A proud moment for every Indian. You country comes first... next comes your religion. The way Muslims are seen as terrorists is a disheartening thing. Is there no way for Muslims to study well and shine in their life??. Except for the gulf countries its difficult for any Muslim to get into any country.Its because of the ruthless act of few terrorists thats affecting all the innocent world Muslims. Is there no end to this??. Only time can answer this. As an Indian Muslim, i too wait for the day.This movie is a must watch for every Indian.As an Indian i enjoyed this movie a lot. Jai Hind.

My rating is 4.5/5.
