People are comparing Ranbir with Khans! That's the biggest joke i have heard from his fans. He was good in Barfi, Rockstar, has 2 filmfares... Just compare that statistically with Shah Rukh khan and Ranbir Kapoor pales in the horizon, my friends.

Let the guy do good work and we will compare after 10 years how he is. He tried to be Salman in besharam, didn't work! He still has a long way to go to achieve versatility.. the only films he has done are coming of the age movies... where are period films, where are action thrillers ?

He is being pressurised by getting compared with khans

I don't understand the reasoning behind comparing the early careers of Khans and their records vs other actors of other eras. Many factors change between generations like the kind of films made, audience desires, opportunities, etc. It's not exactly an accurate comparison.


Also, it is not set in stone that to become a big superstar you must follow a career path that is akin to the previous stars. Khans were successful right off the bat. Amitabh Bachchan who is an even bigger star than them took years to make a proper mark with Deewar/Zanjeer ...after which there wasn't looking back. Everyone's career path is different. Just because the newcomers haven't debuted with an ATBB like Khans did doesn't mean they cannot become the next superstar.


Amitabh started making mark from 4th year itself. He also won National Award for best newcomer for Saat Hindustani.

By his 7th year (1975) Big B had captured imagination of nation in a big way. And given ATBB.

He had guts to act alongside seniors and overshadowed them unlike Ranbir who never acts with seniors and seems to be avoiding contemporary young actors too!

Please don't use his example either. He displaced and made irrelevant a guy like Rajesh Khanna in his youth! Most displace oldies. He displaced a young one and finally finished all previous trinities and 60s bunch of Jubilee Kumars etc.

Every dhakka start gaadi cannot be compared to Big B.

Everyone has different path, agreed. But this dragging of Ranbir Kapoor in topics of stardom and calling his first 7 years exceptional is funny. Funnier still is to beg for more time for him and allege that previous stars also did not become huge "so soon". When you have stuff like that then some posts on stats and facts have to be made to clear reality!

Calling Ranbir / Arjun better actor than Salman just coz they done Barfi / 2 States kind of movies is il-logical. Release Barfi / 2 states in just Single Screens only, You will find both the so called ACTORS out of Industry for giving DISASTROUS FILMS.

A Non-Actor can't survive for 25 years, Itna bhi Andher gardi nahi hai jaaron 😆



agreed! Tere-naam, HDDCS, khamoshi... if salman wants, he can make u cry and smile ... tere naam is my all-time favourite...
ranbir fans need to chill and stop comparing one hit wonder with evegreen khans!

Barfi is not Ranbir's alone success, it was PC's also Phenomenal acting, while if u remove Salman from Tere Naam, film will lose soul... He carries every film on his own... look at his past 6 films, only Salman.

Comparing Ranbir's stardom to that of Khans is stupid

But what is commendable is, and what people in this topic are trying to point is that Ranbir being just 7 (approx) year old in Industry is experimenting with his roles, showing some stellar acting abilities and is among top stars in short time span - Its commandable. Also he is in 100 crore club with films like Barfi (which acc. to you audience hate) and YJHD(which the whole form, god knows what, had thought it to be flop)

So no one is saying Ranbir >> Salman IN TERMS OF STARPOWER





Ranbir being just 7 (approx) year old in Industry is experimenting with his roles----- THIS IS SIMPLY NOT TRUE. Check the genres out and all his films are modern, coming of the age films..
he hasn't attempted a period film, nor an action movie, he tried masala n it flopped...
Where are action, thriller, period? he hasn't attempted much... khans have done all kinds of movies

Forget what Salman admits, he never praise himself... so don't bring him in this... What kind of logic is this, He is a STAR not Actor? You are mocking Audience only for loving a Non-Actor for whole 25 years...

Salman have 2 do a Critics fav. Kind of film, then only he will be in league of these so called actors?? He did tried it with Phir MIlenge, Film was a Disaster, but Critical acclaim bahut mila tha film ko... uss time pe Mutiplex nahi tha, warna woh film bhi inn films ke list mein hoti.

Now this is more a achievement when ppl call u non-actor n still ur film score 31 cr opening day, that too on a day of ramzaan with No Muslim audience... this much love for Non-Actor, yeh saale 2 rs ke actors zindagi mein kabhi nahi laa sakte 😆




Bhai, don't forget terenaam, HDDCS, Andaaz apna apna, dabangg.. when he wants, he can act well... it;s just that, there are srk, aamir for that.. salman has his own brand of acting n masala.. and that has huge fans... why does he need to attempt 2 states, blah blah

If you say Barfi/2States ar 2rs movies, then sorry dude you are really disillusional..
Its fine if you don't like that brand of cinema but disrespecting audience of such films is not done.

And no one said Khans should retire... If I clearly remember a article was released which only said RK was on par with Khans, First its PR strategy and these PR stuff are done to create superiority about themselevs in minds of people, there isn't any truth in it!

And comparing ETT with Barfi/2States 😆 Are you kidding man!?



Dude, movie is a movie... some like some genres, others like others... who r u to say barfi/2states are better movies than dabangg, ETT? audience says that! and u know wat audience said, right😆

Besharam showed him his real place 😆 His films like Wake Up Sid, Rocket Sing: Salesman of the year, Barfi all are just Multiplex audience kind of films out of which Barfi score well. All these movies are complete WASHOUT in Single Screens. His YJHD scored well that too has many more reasons, Deepika, ARK coming after Aashiqui 2, Madhuri's Item Song, Dharma / UTV Backing... With Besharam He could have proved it otherwise as he was the sole reason for YJHD success, but failed miserably 😆

I didn''t mean genre of film but TYPE OF ROLES he is playing and emotion his each character go physically and emotionally. Most of his characters show different streak, different style, different shade and it's commendable way he is carrying!

And seriously? How can you compare 25 year old career graph in which Khans definitely have scope to perform lot with 7 year old career graph of actor.

YES HE HAS ATTEMPTED MUCH TO BE RESPECTED AS ACTOR AND TO BE RESPECTED AS A STAR.!

Its really surprising for you if a person does thriller film OR action film OR period film - then he is classified as an actor. Because that's not how versatility is classified and that is not how an actor's skill need to be classified!

Also to remind, If I am not wrong, Salman did a periof film in 2010 - 20 years after his debut.
