Irony of Aamir's filmography. - Page 2

Raja Hindustani and Dhoom 3 were garbage. At least the former has an excuse since back then that sort of movie was popular

Dhoom 3 doesn't..really wish it flopped. Then Aamir wouldn't have done crap like thugs either

Karishma's makeover.

Hit songs.

Overhyped kiss scene

Rikshaw walas wet dream to marry a ameer ki ladli then treating her like pairo ke jooti

LOL... Aamir was not a top star when he did Raja Hidustani. It was like his Hum Apke Hain Kaun.. Other factors worked more than the then chindi Aamir.

There is no irony here, a mass movie from a top star will and should always collect higher than a content movie from the same star. Aamir should have had more of Raja Hindusthani's (as in mass blockbusters).

Aamir Khan has got it right with the 'content' movies but has failed on the mass movies. Ideally, mass movies of other stars should outgross content movies of Aamir. The fact that it hasn't happened shows their weakness and how strong Aamir has been.

On Raja Hindusthani it is very old school kitsch with roots lying in 60's Bollywood that the masses will like whenever made in the right way. RH was appropriate for its time with blockbuster music. It's over the top 'melodrama' was later replicated on the small screen. It has dated very badly for the current sensibilities, but it still is a very solid outing (minus the climax) for small-town masses.

Dhoom 3 was also an ATBB but not a bigger hit than 3 Idiots, PK, Dangal. So it's not true that masala movies will always be bigger hits than content films.

So Aamir gave inspiration to Emraan Hashmi.

You are filled with hatred that you go on to lengths to diss Aamir with no knowledge of 90's era.

He was definitely behind the likes of SRK, Salman, Sunny Deol etc. imho. He had one hit with his debut, then lots of flops until the movie with Madhuri (which was credited to her). Raja Hindustani made him really popular though

I hated that movie, people were gushing over it and when I watched it on TV, I found it cringeworthy. I still don't understand why and how it made so much money. Aamir was a total di*k in the movie and other actors acted OTT. Music if the movie is also overrated.

I am not seeing the irony. This post is written by someone who has no idea about Aamir or his career or his choices of films in the 90s.
