    Never knew what Aamir would be like, but now that I have seen it, I can say that it deserves praise. A very fine, taut, and pacy thriller that keeps the viewers on the edge of their seats from the beginning to the end. Kudos to director R.K Gupta who steered Aamir remarkably well...( read more) ,and also Rajeev Khandelwal, who has given a great debut.

    A truly enthralling story about Aamir, a london based doctor ,who is forced by circumstances
    to return to his country-India, to his family.With his mind brimming with plans of a peaceful life with his
    dear ones, aamir sets foot on his native land, but fate had other plans for h...( read more)im....Aamir falls prey to the hands of
    an unrevealed terrorist group which has held his family hostage and demand proper execution of their orders by
    the man himself, whose life comes to an unexpected stand-still by the sudden turn of events with him travelling
    around absolutely alien places and baffling lanes pf the city with his brain only buzzing with thoughts and apprehensions about the security of his
    family.Aamir is a movie about a person trapped in the horrific, life-threatening war of religion, the battle which has gripped the nation
    since time immemorial and has taken unnumbered innocent lives. Aamir is one such Indian who becomes a victim of this
    inhuman struggle of a few cowardly fanatics who demand the superiority of their religion at the cost of thousands of lives and emerges triumphant
    in it. The beauty of the movie lies in the fact that it delivers a man, who initially takes pride in saying-"I am a common man. I live for myself",
    as a man whose thoughts take a sharp turn on the bridge that connects life and security with the ultimate end of a mortal.The transformtion
    in Aamir's character dons on the audience as they behold the distressed man cling on to death with a sign of relief on his forehead as
    his lips curl into a smile. That last scene with Aamir emracing death with the spark of enlightenment in his eyes and a blissful smile on his face
    said it all...there was a man who had been hit hard in the face with the truth of life in one single nightmarish day- a couple of hours ago his
    only motive was securing the lives of the people he loved and feared to lose,he had lived and had perhaps hoped to live on peacefully
    for his selfish self and his family; now, in a matter of a few seconds, there was a drastic change in the very intention of not just his life
    but also to his death. One day of his life and the whole series of events that resulted in one man's struggle to rescue his
    blood relations from the strong clasp of death, made Aamir surrender his life to the sole ruler of man-to death
    for the sake of a hundred people about whom he did not have the remotest idea but was related to by a much stronger bond-the unsevered
    bond that binds one countryman to another. Aamir derived immense and unaccountable satisfaction in dying so that many others could survive
    and was happy that he would finally rest in peace after a day which had agonized him to the very limit of breaking up,morally. Had he
    let the people die with himself managing to escape the law, there wouldnt have been a single day in his life which he wouldnt hav spent
    regretting his own life. At the very threshold of death, Aamir was contented that he had made the right decision and had chosen death in stead of
    opting for a life worse than death itself.
    Aamir is a movie which will move you to the core. A must-watch for everyone who simply adores a simple yet hard-hitting movie!
