Aamir khan-LEARNT THE MOST FROM HIS FAILURES



Another important aspect of Aamir khan's mega stardom now is his ability to learn from his past mistakes. There was a time after the release of Qayamat se Qayamat tak when things were not going his way. Bad movie choices resulted in bad movies and flops. Aamir khan was aware that the movies would not work. It is here where Aamir khan realised the importance of saying "NO" when selecting a movie. Film industry being a commercial business, everyone is bound to get seduced by the commercial aspects of the movie. When you get a commercial hit, you get carried away and sign a dozen films. The glamour industry is also the most insecure industry. Fortunes change here every friday. You always have the fear of losing your stardom. You want to earn during your purple patch no matter what content comes in your way. This is what separates Aamir khan from his contemporaries. He realised that needed to be choosy, no matter what the commercial aspects of the movie, no matter how much he is going to be paid, unless he is moved by the content. It might sound easy, however the ability to say NO is as difficult as controlling our emotions. We easily get carried away. 

Aamir khan built his career with a envious list of movies. His filmography includes the kind of movies every actor would love to have under his belt. The kind of box office records he holds, its almost impossible to even imagine any actor coming close to him now. Not to demean other stars, stars like Akshay kumar, Ajay devgan, Salman khan etc do not still hold a formidable overseas market even after being in the business for so many years. It is because the worldwide audience watches movies across the globe and they understand the essence of good cinema. Language may differ, however emotions are the same. Its an important factor why Aamir has established a formidable market across the globe even where Indian films were alien to the public. He simply followed the mantra of his heart "Keep doing good work, money will come, success will come. Rest as they say is history.



 His next movie release "Thugs of Hindustan" is already a bonafide hit. People are only eager to see how many crores it will collect above 300 in India and worldwide collections cannot be even imagined. That is the kind of impact and influence an Aamir khan movie brings in. While we are all discussing about the poster release, teaser release of his next movie, Aamir khan might be sitting patiently in any editing room giving the finishing touches to the thing he loves the most i.e. his next movie.
