Aamir Khan: Team RadioCity picks the Top 15 Movies of the Perfectionist

We would be ashamed of ourselves if we were to leave this master-piece out from our listicle. We received teen guna entertainment while Aamir and Co. walked the prestigious red carpet at the Oscars' with teen guna respect. Enough said.

If you wish to know what selfless friends are made of, you must watch Aamir in 'Ishq'. Whether it was bailing your rich best friend out against a dominating father, or saving the dignity of his beloved, Aamir proved why friends like Raja will always be rare to find.

His most controversial yet entertaining release till date, Aamir had the audiences laughing and thinking at the same time over his witty yet keen observations upon our blind faith when it comes to organized religion and worship. As the Bhojpuri-speaking alien, Aamir was top-notch.

As the silent and brooding cop, who is running away from his own demons, Aamir offered another restrained and dignified performance in 'Talaash'.

You cannot shrug off the memory of that brilliant scene where Aamir requests the waiter of a five-star hotel to switch on the fan in an air-conditioned room. As the street-smart Munna who sells movie tickets in black, Aamir proved why experimentation is his forte.

Aamir defied every stereotype of an aged superstar to helm a feminist sports film. He piled on a few kilos, went for a salt and pepper hair do and took the backseat to make way for two new faces in showbiz. As Mahavir Singh Phogat, Aamir proved with his stellar act that behind every successful woman, stands a supportive father.

Aamir not just lent an act as a supporting actor but also helmed the director's chair for the first time with this film. Truly a much-needed reflection on how Indian families are relentless in getting their children to succumb to unhealthy competition. The film went on to win the National Film Award for Best Film.

A role that will be remembered for generations to follow. Aamir as the reckless DJ, whose experiences with a documentary film based on India's revolutionaries changes his perspective towards his country, resonated with the youth.

As a man caught between his father's ideals and his survival, Aamir goes from bad man to a reformed soul in Vikram Bhatt's 'Ghulam'. You could relate to his dilemma in ways more than one.

Pairing up with Salman Khan as his partner-in-crime, Aamir gave us a cult film with 'Andaz Apna Apna'. Initially declared a flop after its release, the antics and goofiness within the film continues to find its fans even today. And who can forget, 'Aap Purush Nahi, 'Mahapurush Hai'.

Why would anyone not fall in love with the innocence and naughtiness of Rancho? As a friend who also uplifts his caught-in-the-rat-race friends besides creating his own path of success, Aamir deserved every bit of the adulation, he received through this movie.

Everyone of us is blessed with a friend who is unsympathetic towards the matters of the heart until love happens to them. Aamir was extra-ordinary as Aakash, the friend who is selfish initially but matures as the movie evolves.

An all-time entertainer by Mahesh Bhatt, the songs of the movie remain eternal even after two decades following the release of the film. Not to forget the infectious chemistry shared between Aamir and Juhi Chawla and the three mischievous cute musketeers with whom, they made a family.

In the charming romantic caper revolving around school romances, Aamir was a show stealer especially in the scene where he labels Pooja Bedi's character as a gold digger when she chooses to leave him after finding out about his social status.

Aamir Khan shone in this John Mathew Mathan film as the hard-talking, no-nonsense cop who confronts a cultural artist from across the border, in the guise of a terrorist. The confrontation scene in the climax between Aamir and Naseeruddin Shah was par excellence. Walking the fine line between truth and loyalty never felt this real.
