Aamir
Aamir, the name literally means leader and our protagonist (Rajeev) becomes a follower not because of faith, not out of zeal but out of 'fear'. Geographically Aamir's maze is set in the Muslim dominated, but poor, areas of Bombay. In its lanes and by lanes, cheap restaurants and lodges, amongst nameless pimps and whores, run-down buildings and over-crowded markets, filth and squalor, Aamir is supposed to understand the life he has lived, the 'choices' he has made, his dreams, his loves and his immediate fears.

Through the course of one day lost in the streets of Mumbai the question remains that do you choose your destiny, or does destiny choose you, and whether Aamir chooses to be a follower or become a leader.

Aamir is the harrowing story of a NRI doctor Aamir; who returns to India for better. He was happy, smiling to meet up with his family after years. Little did he expect the kind of ordeal he was going to face on landing in Mumbai. After landing in Airport, while he was trying to take a taxi, two motor cycle borne youth threw a cell phone to him. From there starts the game of muslim fundamentalists to use him as a media to plant bombs in a bus which they want to blow off. What happens ultimately is not what the extremist thought off. Aamir blows himself up rather than the bus. The extremists could not convince him that he is a muslim and he should fight for the rights of muslim. Rather his take was if you want to grow, work hard not get jealous of others who grow. The movie marks the debut of actor Rajeev Khandelwal, with no heronies, songs in the movie and directed by Rajkumar Gupta, the movie is a must watch and is very different from the movies being made.
