dushyant Good thriller

Aamir is about a young muslim guy who gets caught up in a web of intrigue when he lands back home in Mumbai from London. The story revolves around how he is coerced into various activities due to threat on his family. The plot is always taut and Rajeev Khandelwal does a good job in portraying the character of Aamir. Ending is somewhat predictable but overall it's a good thriller that makes one think about terrorism and society.

an ok film, rajeev is a doctor from america returning back to india. He gets into problems at the airport whhen the checkers have problems with his name and they recheck his bags like 10 times. Into mumbai, someone randomnly gives him a mobile and it rings. He picks up and the person gives him strict orders. If he doesn't do wat is said there will be consequences. They have kidnapped his family and want him to some errands for them. He runs all over, at the end of the 1.5 hr film, they eventually want him to leave a suitcase in a public bus whichb contains a bomb. But he takes the bomb out of the bus and runs, he blows himself up and saves many lives. The moral was that someone else wrote his destiny, who says a man can write his own destiny.

a thumbs up for Aamir , it's a remarkable film....Skillfully directed by debutant Rajkumar Gupta from a story that sounds suspiciously similar to that of the Filipino film Cavite, Aamir works....Uninhibited, spontaneous and blessed with unmistakable presence, Khandelwal holds the screen like a seasoned artist..... ...
