I'm fairly picky about the movies that I watch & even pickier about the ones I like. Any regular reader of this blog will vouch for that.
I saw Aamir about a month back and while it's taken me long to write a review for the movie, this isn't a reflecton of the impact the movie leaves on it's viewers!
Aamir is a thriller worthy of Hollywood! The film starts off fairly innocuously and from there a series of events hurl the protagonist by the same name deeper & deeper into a web of conspiracy & deceit.
The film keeps the viewer feeling edgy all the time, due to the slowly unfolding nature of the subject, the mystery that refuses to unravel, and mainly due to the superb execution of the plot by the director!
Bombay has been grittily shot, realistic, teeming, buzzing, filthy. The glimpses bring memories of the city back to anyone who's stayed there for any decent length of time.
So, brilliant camerawork supports a great plot, a capable cast, and gives us a gritty, gripping thriller that stays with us even after we leave the movie theatre. Surely one of the best made thrillers to come out of India ever!
