I know many will be surprised... but he is the most drastically over-rated actor... the one good thing about him is that he selects great subjects/stories... Apart from that as an actor he is very very over-rated.... See his best of the best movies... other actors have completely overpowered him... name it.. --Lagaan - it was the performances of the so-called team members that u remember... --Dil Chahta hai - Saif was too good --Mangal Pandey - It was Aamir's film - did it flop?? --Rang de basanti - Siddharth and Sharman joshi were the heroes --Finally, Taare Zameen Par - Everyone knows who stole the show..
The fact is that he cannot single handedly make the audience watch him for 3 hours.... like SRK did in Swades, Darr.. for e.g. Aamir can't do that..

Aamir is one of the most unselfish and sporting actors around, a real team player to whom the film as a whole is more important than individual credit. All that Anees Basha has written reveals the typical attitude of the SRK fan/ aamir-hater seen spewing jealous venom on bollywood related message boards.Aamir has contributed to his films in a holistic manner, doing his own part well, yet allowing others to shine, very often being a useful and unofficial AD to the director.Aamir by himself or with others---one can watch this amazing ACE for 3 hours plus easily.No way is Aamir overrated.

Hey Anees, in Swades for instance, if Aamir was the actor, i definitely think the show would be similar, if not, better. There is nothing unique that srk could bring to the floor. and i cant imagine srk in bhuvan's shoes. he definitely would have spoiled the taste by his "hakling" trying to dominate the others.. but poor aamir just does what the situation and story demand and gives every body their fair bit of chance. u say : "TZP : Everyone knows who stole the show.." but who allowed darsheel to steal the show? and ultimately who's success is it? delivering hits is still continuing.. aamir has already forged into directing and anees, did he succeed?? aamir is multifaceted i think!! and eventually, not as insecure as srk!!! this is my opinion on these two!!!
