Mass blindness

Is Aamir a fine actor? And what is with all the praises showered on Prateik? I haven't seen the movie Dhobi Ghat. I have just read the reviews. All the leading critics seem to be of the opinion that Prateik is a visual treat, another great performance after Jaane Tu?! I bet they were not talking about his acting. He was painful to watch in his debut movie. Am I alone wearing some gadget eye piece that is preventing me from enjoying class acting? Having grown up on a steady diet of good movies and great acting, I simply am stumped and stupefied at this unanimous verdict. I do not have a problem with the guy, he is the son of a legendary actress and with time and more movies he may grow into a decent one himself. But critics - please be kind and stop being so liberal in your praises.

Now let us come to the first question, Anupama Chopra in her review of Dhobi Ghat has written that - Aamir, otherwise a fine actor has not delivered in this movie. I have serious problem here. Aamir is a star and a very intelligent actor. But fine? I don't think so. I have not come across a single inspiring acting moment in any Aamir movie so far. I don't think he is a natural actor. I know a majority of people will not agree with this. However I will give him credit as a very sensitive director - Taare Zameen Par was an excellent movie in its category.

I had to pour this out. What relief.
Having dished out such harsh comments, let me make it clear- on watching the movie, if I feel Prateik has infact matured as an actor and deserves all what is being written and said about him, I will readily eat my words.
