One of the shapeshifters of Bollywood, Aamir Khan has revolutionized Indian cinema with his spectacular performances. With an eye for detail and a mind different from others, he is rightly called the Mr. Perfectionist of Bollywood. If you think Aamir Khan has only confined himself to one genre, here's a fact check - the actor has headlined some incredible movies of every category.

As Aamir Khan turns 58 today, let's have a look at a list of his timeless Bollywood movies in different genres that shattered the box office. From romance, drama, comedy, and more - see how the actor has changed the way how we perceive Hindi cinema.

1. Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak - Romance


Starting his career with the typical Bollywood romance drama, Aamir Khan gained instant fame and became the chocolate boy of Bollywood. Sensationalizing the entire generation to believe in love, Aamir Khan's character in Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak proved he can be as good a king of romance as Shah Rukh Khan.

2. Lagaan - Period Drama


Who doesn't remember Captain Russell's iconic dialogue "Du guna Lagaan dena padega"? Aamir headlined the period drama as a young Bhuvan who fought for his villagers against the ruthless British rule of paying double taxes. Can you guess his battle weapon? It wasn't guns or swords, but a bat and a ball. In a game of cricket that decided the fate of the Britishers vs the villagers, Lagaan was a mixed bag of drama, emotions, romance, music, friendship, and everything in between.

3. Andaz Apna Aona - Comedy


"Aap purush nahi, maha purush ho!" - if this line did not crack you up, we don't know what will. Surprisingly, Andaz Apna Apna was a disaster at the box office in 1994. The two lead actors did not get along, the songs were dated, and the audience did not welcome the movie with open arms. It is safe to say Andaz Apna Apna was ahead of its time. However, today, it is considered a cult classic that will never fail to tickle your funny bone.

4. Rang De Basanti - Patriotic Drama


When you cannot change the system, be the change. Aamir Khan's character DJ was a perfect example of this saying. He devoted his life to his loved ones and when needed, even picked up the gun to seek justice for his friend. Rang De Basanti was one of those movies that changed the way Bollywood was perceived. It had music that gave us goosebumps, a story that made us cry, and an ensemble that made the cinematic experience come to life.

5. Dil Chahta Hain - Friendship Drama


What happens when three best friends drift apart because of love? Aamir Khan's character Akash Malhotra was seen in waves. While the first half of the movie shows him as a careless, spoilt brat, his character takes a switch to a responsible, more mature kind of man who knows how to fix his mistakes. Another Bollywood feel-good movie starring Mr. Perfectionist became a mass favorite.

6. Taare Zameen Par - Socio-Drama


Addressing what's typically wrong with our society when it comes to raising a child, Aamir Khan touches upon how to normalize and destigmatize mental health through Taare Zameen Par. Had Professor Ram (Aamir) not believed in a dyslexic Ishaan Awasthi (Darsheel Safary), he wouldn't have been able to explore the inner artist that was screaming to be free. Yet another heart-touching movie that proved Aamir Khan's versatility as an actor.

Radio City wishes Aamir Khan a very happy birthday. We cannot wait to see him back with a bang on the big screens.
