Rajeev does a SRK but can Aamir do a Deewaana

Well finally our much awaited Rajeev Khandelwal has hit the screen again(only that he has gone one better this time all the way to Bollywood).Anyways what this movie has again reemphasised is how truly the saying 'Good things come in small packages' hold for Rajeev.
Not many gave Aamir a chance to do well in the Box Office specially when it was up against Sarkar Raj(which was supposed to establish beyond all doubts the Bachchan Raj in Bollywood).But what Aamir has done is not only outdo Sarkar Raj but it has also thrown another star in the face of Bollywood.(& not a starson for a change)
The movie Aamir is an exceptionally well made movie moving at a brisk pace for most parts.The only places where this movie slows down the viewers(in real life) & indeed the protagonist Rajeev Khandelwal(in reel life) gets some time to reflect exactly in the midst of what they are caught.The movie starts with Rajeev a doctor returning from London & finding out that his family has been kidnapped.He is asked to follow instructions from an anonymous person to get his family back.After this the movie moves at a brisk pace keeping the audience enthralled.The first guess is the director is going 2 take us to a tour of d Mumbai slums,but nothin quite prepares us for the twist that comes in the end.Truly the director shows his hand & surely does not look like a debutante & for Rajeev's part surely competition is no competition for him.The film relies heavily on him & he is probably there in every frame of the film.Not surprisingly though he has absorbed everything superbly & looks ready to give the big guns in Bollywood a run for their money.
Though Aamir is really a well made movie it stil has a long way to go to success because it has released with five other big banner movies & none could be bigger than Sarkar Raj.Though it could prove a blessing in disguise specially as Sarkar Raj failed to impress the audience we will do better to reserve our judgement about what Aamir will do in the Box Office at the same time wishing it all the best.

well well...i watched the movie today and i was highly impressed by the film as well by the acting capabilities of rajeev who seemed to have projected his acting potentials in a correct way.from the first scene to the last scene,rajeev seemed to be present in each and every frame.the intense acting of rajeev was very different from what we have earlier seen in the serials.despite the film's not having a leading lady,the viewers are not given a chance to get bored.such is the intensity of the story and such is the acting..the story also highlighted the age old hatred prevalent among some sections of the muslims which ultimately result in the death of the protagonist in the film.the film though may lack the usual hip hop numbers or skin show,it is a good movie after a long time from bollywood after taare zameen par.the movie makes us to think,to ponder about the various issues related with our lives..simple commonday issues.if someone wants to see good quality film,then aamir is a must show.it surely is a leader among good films..hope it has a good run at the box ofice...
