Whether spitting on the hands of heroines before film shoot or meeting controversial Pakistani Islamic preacher Tariq Jameel or turning blind eye on regressive and medieval era practices like triple talaq in Muslim society, Aamir Khan’s dubious character has been exposed now.
Dangal won many awards such as Filmfare Awards, Mirchi Music Awards, News 18 Movies Awards, Zee Cine Awards, National Film Awards, Star Screen Awards, and many more.
It makes us believe that Muslims in India are not being treated with respect that they deserve and we start feeling apologetic about it somewhere in our subconcious mind.
In the scenario where the charm of cinema is all lost, it was the budding new talent that started to step up and deliver. The performances of Dangal cast brings back a different feeling that had become a rarity. Relief. Pride.
Should a purely commercial activity be seen as an act of redemption which would make someone sacrosanct? The inhuman side of Aamir Khan has yet not been forgotten since the time of Narmada agitation when he couldn't feel the pain of lakhs of people deprived from water.
