Aamir's latest release, 'Thugs of Hindostan' received mixed views from viewers as well as critics. The project is one of the biggest releases of the year and was highly anticipated ever since it was announced. It stars Amitabh Bachchan, Katrina Kaif and Fatima Sana Shaikh besides Aamir and was reportedly made on a budget of Rs 300 Crore.
'Thugs of Hindostan' broke records on the day of its release by minting over Rs 50 Crore, owing to the buzz surrounding the film. However, due to negative word of mouth, the film's collections are dipping rapidly.
Set in the backdrop of India under the British rule in the 19th century, Thugs of Hindostan is inspired by Philip Meadows Taylor's 1839 novel Confessions of a Thug. It revolves around the life of a thug and his gang who challenge the British Empire in the country.
Aamir plays the firangi Mallah, Bachchan Senior plays Khudabaksh, Fatima plays Zafira and Katrina plays Suraiyya. Hollywood actor Lloyd Owen plays John Clive, the villain of the film.
