My reply is directed at Krish and Shalom. It has become a habit among the thinking public to run down achievers. And so you have this phenomenon of people favouring one actor and simultaneously running down another. Yes Kamalahasan is a terrific actor, possibly the best or one of the best in India and the world. Praise him but DO NOT RUN DOWN AAMIR KHAN IN A PETTY MANNER. Aamir IMO, is one of the best things in Hindi cinema over the past fiften years.His first film QSQT was so different compared to the muck of the 80s. He was good as the earnest young doomed lover, funny in DHKMN, filmy yet lovable hero in Dil, charming and funny in the children's film HHRPK, a terrific tapori in Rangeela, a different tapori who made one laugh and cry in Ghulaam, amazing in Earth and absolutely fabulous in Sarfarosh.He is also one hell of a cinematically literate star, well read and discerning, similar to Kamal. In fact I have often thought of him as Mumbai version of Kh.Agreed KH is a natural actor, while Aamir is less spontaneous[yet effective and obviously works at his role].
In Lagaan Aamir wished to sport a moustache like all villagers of that period. In his blog he mentions how he argued withAshutosh, that a drought ridden village could not have a clean shaven Bhuvan, but Ashutosh insisted on the clean shaven look.Aamir's look has always fitted his role.His funky look in DCH has charmed a whole generation.His TZP hairstyle is fine,reminding of aponytailed male teacher colleague.
