Compared to Khans of HR or Akshay... Hell YES he definitely has less star power... He is not same status as Khans but right now, with films actors are doing he comes out be best actor! Also he has a star power and is definitely a star but not a superstar or Icon (which I haven't heard anyone mentioning) like Khans... He will take few more years to reach there to be an ICON...

That's not what I said, you should go re-read my first post. I said he was average in YJHD and not that great in Rockstar but he was good in Barfi.

I also clearly wrote, that I am not calling him a bad a actor. You should read a post fully before replying and throwing out such statements.

, no, that wasn't all you said, you were talking about how his acting is pretty average and it's overhyped. People didn't think so, so they disagreed with your statement. Ranbir fans never claimed him to be some sort of icon, of course he's not. And yes, he doesn't have the star power like the khans or hrithik, obviously, they've been here for 20+ years![/DIV]
If people on kwk rank him higher, to hum kya karein?

So now YOU are going to decide what I SAID? 😆 😆 I am not responsible for the way you may interpret my posts, but I did not say whatever you are claiming in this ridiculous post of yours.

And just to correct you, Hrithik hasn't been in the industry for 20 + years. He's been here for 13-14 years.

You may think that no one has called Ranbir iconic or said that he is more popular than the Khans/Hrithik, but that HAS happened, do you think I just saw a dream and made up stuff that I never came across? Obviously theres a section that thinks that he is so great and all. Its happened on this very forum infact.

He's a good actor and has an amazing screen presence..but he's not as good of an actor as everyone makes him out to be. I didn't really care much for his performance in Barfi or Rajneeti..both overrated performance. I haven't seen Rockstar so can't comment on that.

That said yes he's better than majority of the newcomers if not all of them.

I will give him this..he's versatile.

I think the reason why he's so hyped up is because he is the only young actor who is doing well for himself.

i saw a bunch of Ranbir Kapoor movies on a roll after reading the reviews and on IF. I somehow don't think he moves me or makes me laugh. I guess each to their own, I never like Raj Kapoor either as an actor. But that is my taste. When I start forwarding the movie, I know its not to my liking. Neither are they paisa vasool entertainment, neither are they a DDLJ hindi movie romance, neither a classic like Pyaasa. I don't get his talent part...and Im just an audience but still...
- Rockstar (didn't understand anything in this movie...)
- YJHD (whatever, tired of friends going on vacations discovering each other and themselves trying to gain this holistic view on life and love...and priorities)
- Barfi (did not think this was the greatest movie or performance ever at all...)

I don't think any of the Khans are good actors either. but superstars they all are.

I feel the same way..I think he's a good actor..very natural and versatile..but none of his performances moved me. I never watched any of his performance and went..WOW what an actor. Am sure he will one day though..as I already like him..he might move me with his perf one day.

And I agree with someone that mentioned Ranbir isn't hyped because of his Last name or nepotism..because look at Abhi Junior..where is his hype?

Eh. He's alright. I liked him in Wake up Sid and Rocket Singh. Nothing after that has impressed me.
It sort of like Ranveer Singh. He impressed me with Band Baaja Baarat and Lootera, but nothing else was enough of praise worthy.

Also, I think someone should ask,

is Parineeti really that great?

I just saw Hasee toh Phasee. She was her usual self, loud and hyper.

😆 Thank you. We already have a thread on that..I guess you missed it.

Is it just me or does anyone else think that this "iconic" status that is given to him is kind of going too far?

I found his acting in Rockstar to be average...YJHD was alright nothing great there, and no comments on Besharam.

Okay Barfi was good, but one Barfi does not make you better than SRK, Salman, Hrithik, Aamir. I found it amusing and shocking that some people would come on KWK and rank him higher than the Khans 😕 There is no way he is more popular than them and there is no way he is more talented. Ok maybe he is a better actor than Salman...but I don't think he is in a position to be ranked higher than them 😕

I am not saying Ranbir is a bad actor or whatever, but he isn't that great. Its too soon to throw all these titles at him, especially considering that his Besharam movie tanked badly and other young actors movies are doing better at the movies where box office is concerned.

It just seems to me that everyone in the media and industry is trying really hard to make him this huge huge star because of nepotismm or whatever reason and the fact that he's a Kapoor obviously helps. I dunno I just think he's a bit overrated. and KWK makes its worse 🤢

I'm not doing anything of the sort, that's what you wrote in your original response in the bolded part, I didn't interpret anything anything anyway, just going by what you said. So maybe YOU should go back and read your own post before calling other peoples post ridiculous.

I was talking about the khans when i said they've been for here 20+ years. Didn't know how long hrithik has been in bolly for, but it's still double the number of years ranbir has.

Well, I've certainly never seen his fans calling him iconic. Good actor? yes. Iconic? no. And even if there are some that think, then so what? there are always some in a fan group that think their favourite is better than everyone, their believing it is certainly not going to make it fact.

The issue isn't whether or not Ranbir's a good actor because most people do acknowledge that the guy's at the very least..a good actor. The problem with some people is why does he get ranked amongst the likes of the Khans or Hrithik.

In terms of stardom..yes, Ranbir isn't there yet. The Khans and Hrithik are far, far ahead, but Ranbir's getting there. However, in terms of strictly talent, acting etc..I don't see how the thought of even comparing any of the Khans or Hrithik with Ranbir is blasphemous? because it's not. Ranbir's work in the past 7 years speaks for itself. At this rate, I'd say Ranbir will surpass all the Khans/Hrithik very soon as an actor. In my eyes he already has. Is anyone really going to argue that Ranbir isn't a far better actor than Salman? Comparing his acting abilities to the other 3 may be more opinionated, but even then Ranbir's work in 7 years and with many years ahead of him..it's a fair enough comparison especially considering this guy is perhaps their biggest competition from the younger lot of actors.

In terms of whether or not he's an icon..iconic for what? for being the benchmark of possibly every other young bollywood actor today?perhaps. The likes of Arjun Kapoor and Sid have already said they look up to Ranbir. There must be a reason why they consider Ranbir their supposed benchmark as opposed to the Khans/Hrithik. There's a reason why this guy is pitted against the big guys.

Other than that..Ranbir's personal life is always hyped and I feel many confuse that with Ranbir the actor being hyped..but despite the drama offscreen, I think Ranbir still manages to do a pretty amazing job letting his work do the talking. Hopefully he continues to do that and I'm sure the answer to your question will only become more evident.

When I watch his movies I am in complete awe and this only happens when I watch AB Sr's or Jaya B's and SriD's movies.

He is a good actor.

well, kapoors have sent many rotten stars from their family trees...I think Shashi kapoor married a gori woman and had a gora kid.. who as an adult starred in Dharmendra movie.. cant rem his name but he was HUGE joke.. the walk the talk.. all gay.

I think Ranbir has it in him.. but he shud stop changing his gfs.. and concetrate on work. Blv or not, ur off screen image is important if u r reaching the top level. (salman is exception.. hez exception so many ways )..

Give the lad 5 years.. decisive time. Khans well past 50.. what will they do, HR will on his peak, younger lot filling the gaps. Interesting time ahead.

Ranbir had a free entry pass but hez here on his talent. And I m not even his fan.
