Calling for an end to dividing cinema into art and commercial forms, Aamir said his directorial venture "Taare Zameen Par" earned Rs 131 crore from the box office.

"It was not a trade mark masala entertainer. Will you call 'Taare Zameen Par' an art film? It did commercial business of Rs 131 crore," he said.

When asked whether the film did well because he was part of it, Aamir said if the film was bad despite his presence, it would not have succeeded. "There are several films with big stars that have crashed at the box office," he said.

Speaking about "Amu", Aamir said the subject of the film about the backdrop of the 1984 anti-Sikh riots in Delhi impressed him.

"It is a very dramatic film which values human life. Justice for wrongdoings is necessary otherwise how can we move forward as a society?" he asked.

Aamir said there have been incidents in the society where mankind has shown its worst face. "It is important that we accept it, ensure justice and move forward," he maintained.
