He is a good actor.
And am not basing this on his acting in Rockstar. I think ARK could've pulled off a Rockstar too. With some effort.
The thing with Ranbir is he's a natural. U can sense it in his acting. When I watch his movies I forget am watching Ranbir Kapoor. He's just the character for me. (Except some of his lamearse movies like Besharam, APKGK)
SRK used to be like that too. But nowadays when u watch a SRK flick, u know you're watching SRK and not a character. There were movies where he totally made u forget his real name...You just remember a Kabir Khan or a Aman Verma or a Mohan Bhargava. That's true acting.
As for Salman, well I'm not a fan so it'll sound biased when I say that the all his recent movies have been just that...HIM being HIM. He's not playing any character there. He's selling more of Salman Khan. That's it.
SRK, Salman, HR or Aamir's recent movies have been nothing but numbers. They're not being passionate anymore. It's like they've made a name for themselves and they're hoping that their name is enough to sell the movie.
Yes, it sounds harsh. Let's face it guys. We ain't getting any more Swades, Sarfarosh, Hum Apke Hain Kaun or Koi Mil Gaya anymore. It's Ra.One, Ready, D3, Krishh 3.
So, it's obvious that Ranbir with his smart movie choices will shine. And it's for that reason Ranbir's being hailed as those fancy titles they're calling him nowadays.
