Aamir, the name literally means 'leader' but our protagonist (Rajeev) becomes a follower, not because of faith, not out of zeal but out of fear. Geographically, Aamir's maze is set in the Muslim-dominated poor areas of Bombay. In its lanes and bylanes, cheap restaurants and lodges, amongst nameless pimps and whores, run-down buildings and over-crowded markets, filth and squalor, Aamir is supposed to understand the life he has lived, the 'choices' he has made, his dreams, his loves and his immediate fears.
Through the course of one day lost in the streets of Mumbai, the question remains that do you choose your destiny, or does destiny choose you, and whether Aamir chooses to be a follower or become a leader.
