But all fandoms overhype their favorite actor right? Honestly i think Ranbir is a great actor but i have no issue with ppl thinking he sucks..Its also true that when a film is critically acclaimed/ does well, that particular actor becomes the flavor of the season..If BV does extremely well, i know the same will happen with Ranbir too..Almost all fandoms gush about their favorite actor's acting skills/ BO power..And no one is expected to agree tbh..Your opinion that he is overhyped is as valid as say my opinion that Ranbir deserves all the praise..So i don get why ppl feel his fans shove him down ppl's throat 😆 No offence..Am not contesting your opinion at all..Since i am a Ranbir fan, i thought i'l add my two cents anyway :)


I love this sentence so much because it's so true. Some of the performances get so overhyped because the film is critically and commercially a hit!

"I can't imagine anyone else playing Haider other than Shahid".

I CANNOT IMAGINE ANYONE ELSE PLAYING BARFI , JORDAN , ROCKET SINGH or even RANBIR RAJ . There many characters Ranbir has done which no one will ever be to recreate. In that aspect, Ranbir is the better actor and the next big thing after the Khans. He is the best thing that happened to Bollywood in recent times. Watch out for Bombay Velvet, Jagga Jasoos, Tamaasha, etc. He will show everyone why he is known to have the best script sense and immense passion for his art which he portrays outstandingly through his characters.

Not because of his acting. Because he is overhyped.



shahids Haider performance is overhyped in my book. 😆 not that i didn't love his performance. i did. and i applaud him for giving a fine performance. . there were moments of brilliance in his performance, but there were also moments where i could see just a shahid kapoor not haider in his performance.

ranbir entered in 2007, amazed with his performances. barfi, rockstar, raajneeti, WUS, rocket singh, YJHD, just 7 yrs and look at his performances. i cannot wait for his Roy and BV.

ranbir is a natural performer. i don't see him working really hard for his roles.


i just hope this besharam doesn't do movies for the sake of box office.😆

Question. I'm reading Kaminey and JWM being Shahid's best performances in the past. What about Vivaah? I thought he was damn good in it ... Considering the time and age. #Curious


He was the worst Prem of the Barjatiya's for me. IDK If it was the film or the character, but I did not like him. I love most Bharjatiya's films, grown up watching HAHK and MPK. So my template of Prem is Salman, not necessarily a great actor. But I just could not finish watching Vivah. It was annoying, the saving grace was Amrita for me. I found Mein Prem Ki Diwani Hoon a lot annoying movie wise, but I could finsh it because the Prems were tolerable.

JWM was Bebo, all Bebo for me. Not just the loud parts. Even the quiet parts where she is colorless. She totally eclipsed Shahid in it for me.

I refer those years as Shahid's stiff years. I did not like his acting or personality. I liked Shahid a bit when he started to dance and lose his inhibitions a bit. Loved his dancing, but not acting. Haider is the only film where he was memorable and made me notice him in a big way that I could not stop talking about him. He was just amazing. But for the rest, no.

Ranbir is on the verge of being superstar. Shahid is struggling for a decade to be a star. Kya comparision hai yaar,

It seems even though people are supprting Ranbir verbally but they are still voting for Shahid 😆 . Not that i am complaining but really surprised bcoz he has always been trashed in this forum.
Anyways, its giving me immense satisfaction that he is back on track and has given an apt reply to all those who had declared him over.

Both are very good actors but Ranbir is more natural & effortless onscreen.
Shahid's acting looks rehearsed at times.

I don't agree with you about versatility. Shahid and ranbir are more versatile. However ranveer is relatively new so unfair comparison as other two have been around for longer. i do like all 3 actors. Offscreen ranveer is my fav, onscreen i enjoy shahid and ranbir's movies more.



😆 it doesn't matter, i am firm on my belief...
i know you will agree if i put Ranbir at top in all 3 catagories i mentioned above😆 and this is the reason why he gets overhyped. The fans think he is the best in everything, I DON'T THINK SO and from the votes, i am right. Of course, i know you don't accept the votes of your own poll either 😆

However ranveer is relatively new so unfair comparison as other two have been around for longer.----------------- this doesn't matter dude😆... the range of roles Ranveer has portrayed in 5 years has started to surpass the roles the others have done in their 7 and 10 yrs career. meaning, RS is comfortable and it is his strength. Forget RK doing any masala role for next 5 years😆. It didn't work out for him.
Ranveer has the range and looks to pull off real action to real romance and he is the best guy to choose extremely new role in terms of new character because he has method acting to help him get into the character and pull off the role.
So, it seems you agree Shahid is the best natural actor after all 😆 then why so much fuss with shahid fans before?

woah relax dude. Firstly I didn't argue with shahid fans over the results. They got a bit sensitive over my comment/ opinion. Secondly, I'm not a blind fan and don't think ranbir is better at every category as you have indicated . Thirdly, yes ranbir was awful In Besharam, so I've heard, I've not seen the movie so wouldn't know. Only in Bollywood does an actor have to be able to do every single genre to be considered good. Let's leave the masala films to the likes of Salman Khan and Ranveer Singh. Why would ranbir want to do masala when he can give is quality like Barfi, WUS, Rocket Singh. Thirdly, how is Ranveer versatile? The only versatility I've seen from him is his accents and physical appearance. He's roles are always loud and in your face barring Lootera. Theres nothing challenging or versatile in the roles his done. Most of his roles seem to be an extension of his real personality, loud and in your face. Ranveer litrally over acted and hammed in Gunday. Kill dill seems to be a carbon copy of Gunday. So how can you call an actor who has two back to back releases where the storyline appears to be similar, versatile? And finally, I'm a girl and not a dude. 😊
