Aamir showed traces of taking the road not taken with his very second film as leading man, Aditya Bhattacharya's off-beat Raakh (1989). Aamir plays a young man who has an encounter with street hoodlums. As a result his his grifriend (Supriya Pathak) is raped by them. Aamir, feeling responsible for the rape, decides to kill those responsible. The film, a dark and intense violent tale, sees fine performances from Aamir and Pankaj Kapur as the suspended cop who helps him.

Aamir is the male equation to Kajol, both being top notch performing actors in India, matching in parity with the likes of Al Pacino and Meryl Streep. Fanaa will be topping in the cake as these two pair up for the first time but for the ultimate performance to feast the senses of audience who appreciate talent.

Of the above films, special mention must be made of Rangeela and Sarfarosh both films where Aamir successfully played against type a 'tapori' in the former and a tough ACP in the latter. Rangeela, in particular sees Aamir get the Bambaiya lingo, the attitute, the body language absolutely perfect be it stealing a banana off a street vendor or creating a ruckus in a movie hall. It is perhaps his most uninhibited performance. The scene where dressed in a yellow suit, he takes Urmila Matondkar to a five star restaurant to impress her and propose to her is a highlight of the film.
