Rancho – 3 idiots
How can we forget our dear friend- Rancho while talking about Aamir Khan’s most iconic characters. The movie, the story, and the acting that moved the whole generation of our country cannot be left forgotten easily. Though each character in the film was special and important in their own right, it was ‘Rancho’ who influenced millennials the most. A character who was spreading positivity and stressing one to pursue one’s passion to achieve success. With time in the movie, Rancho made a special place within our hearts and always seem to look towards him in our life whenever we feel low.
Bhuvan – Lagaan
The interesting part of our 2002 Oscar entry – Lagaan is that when the director Ashutosh Gowariker was planning to make this movie, no one saw conviction in this period drama and was ready to become the part of the movie. But, it was Aamir’s belief in the storyline of the film and the director’s masterful craft that made it work. His acting as a farmer captain of a village cricket team was hugely appreciated by the audience. In 2001, Lagaan was one of the biggest hits of his life.
Pk – Pk
With Pk, Aamir Khan yet again proved his title as the Mr. Perfectionist of Bollywood. For this movie, he played the role of an innocent alien who lands on Earth but loses his communication device. With his performances raising questions against the blind religious beliefs and the culture of fearing God rather than loving Him, the actor took the responsibility of creating a change in the society through the medium of art.
Ram Shankar – Taare Zameen Par
We can never close our list of Aamir Khan’s iconic characters without mentioning Ram Shankar. The teacher that every kid of that time wished to have, and till now, the film holds a special place in everyone’s heart. From conveying a crucial message of ‘every child is special’ to making a disorder like ‘dyslexia’ normal, Aamir was very careful about the subject to make a difference. He plays the role of an art teacher who helps an 8-year-old boy overcome his difficulties coping with the same.
