Be it fate, coincidence or intended approach, his last few releases were more or less based on patriotism, reports Bollywood Trade. In Sarfarosh, he played a sincere police officer who tries to wipe off drug-trafficking between India and Pakistan and in Lagaan, he played a self-righteous villager in the pre-Independence era who meets British officers head-on. And recently he featured in the most hyped patriotic film of 2005 Mangal Pandey - The Rising. He etched the role of a martyr - Mangal Pandey who triggered a revolt against the East India Company in 1857. The movie was released on Independence Day. His latest film Rang De Basanti, slated for a Republic Day release,
also has a tinge of patriotism. The film revolves around urban youth living
in Delhi. After the Mangal Pandey debacle this is Aamir's first
release, let's hope it hits gold at the box-office. - Indo-Asian News Service, Mumbai, January 19 |
