It would be tough to slot Aamir Khan. He can wow hundreds while he demystifies movies or whips up a marketing frenzy.
Tagged perfectionist, maverick, a marketing genius and now Mr Blockbuster, his success story is what blockbuster Hindi films are made of.
Aamir Khan's debut film Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak refashioned filmdom's lingua franca and his latest 3 Idiots rewrote the numbers game!
This 22-year journey has had 32 films in between -- with almost a dozen astounding hits and mind-blowing performances. The journey has been an uncompromising one -- paced at his will and whim -- with controversy, awards, friends and fights strewn along the way.
As he turns 45 on March 14, here's a look at his best roles unadulterated.
A footnote. Having grown up on a staple diet of the all conquering Amitabh Bachhan films, I never ever found any body who could occupy his empty throne all these years. But after "Taare Zameen Par" and "3 Idiots" I had to think once again. Someone has come who has changed the meaning of cinema altogether. He has made the benchmark very high with the variety he has given. This is a salute to that person.
