The only reason I am not scoring "Aamir" a 10 is that it is apparently a remake of a Filipino film...a film which I'd really like to see! The film is terrific and I especially appareciate the way the film ends, as Hollywood NEVER would have chosen to end a movie that way.
The film begins with Aamir Ali (Rajeev Khandelwal) arriving in Mumbai. He'd been educated and worked abroad and is returning to his beloved town and family. However, soon after his plane lands, a man runs up to him--tossing him a cell phone and running away with no explanation. Suddenly, this phone begins to ring...and the voice on the other end tells Aamir that his family is being held captive and he must do EXACTLY what he's told or they'll die.
Considering that India has been racked with terrorist violence, what happens next is generally no surprise. However, the script is brillian and takes some very unexpected turns and twists. Additionally, the tension in the movie is supurb and the movie is, from start to finish, a great movie. A must-see, in fact.
