Good films resonate very deeply with the audiences. “Is ‘Ganga Jamuna’ a better film than ‘Mughal-E-Azam’ or ‘Mughal-E-Azam’ a better film than ‘Mother India’? You cannot compare films like that. You can’t trivialise it by bringing it down to numbers. Both of them have been loved across the world and are equally good. “I don’t think we can ever compare two films. I believe the audience in China has connected so well with ‘Dangal’ because their emotions are similar to ours.”īoth “Dangal” and “Baahubali” are breaking box office records but Aamir says it would be wrong to pit the two films against each other.
“‘3 Idiots’ was the time when I realised that people in China were connecting with my work. The 52-year-old actor says he first realised that he had an audience in China when his film “3 Idiots” did well at the box office there. It is to the credit of the people in China that they connected so deeply with a film from India. “India is the primary audience that I make films for. I never thought about the other audience because we are so connected with the audience here. “We as the Indian film industry, irrespective of the languages, have a huge audience of our own, which we are catering to. Aamir says the reason behind this could be the Indian film industry’s long-standing relationship with the home audience. Hollywood has been wooing China for a while now, but Indian film industry has just woken up to the country’s market potential. I have seen this happen with ‘Life is Beautiful’.” He, however, believes that the audience there connected with the story on an emotional level.Ĭiting the example of Oscar-winning Italian film “Life Is Beautiful”, Aamir says, “To me, what matters is that you tell a good story and you touch people’s hearts and connect with them on an emotional level.
