“A storyteller. A perfectionist. A trailblazer. Join us for a special retrospective celebrating the cinematic brilliance of Aamir Khan—an actor, producer, director, and visionary who has transformed Indian cinema with his artistry, passion, and staggering storytelling,” Aamir Khan Productions wrote on X sharing a trailer for the upcoming festival.

The festival will showcase some of Aamir’s most iconic and record-breaking films, giving audiences a chance to relive his cinematic journey on the big screen.
The lineup includes classics such as Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak (1988), Dil (1990), Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar (1992), Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke (1993), Raja Hindustani (1996), and Sarfarosh (1999), along with cult favorites like Andaz Apna Apna (1994), Akele Hum Akele Tum (1995), and Ghulam (1998).
