What the hell is Alia without KJO ? Yet people will say she is all that because she is hard working and has talent. I do think she is that, but what is she without KJO she has not proven ?

To know how one is, you need to see if they have changed from what we have seen from the beginning. Ranveer has been dressing "weird" from the beginning. It is his personal style. I personally believe in Coco Chanel "Fashion goes, style stays".

Ranveer is an individual in BW. If people think Baji Rao succeeded because of Deepika, well who got the most praise ? She was terrible in it. Befikre would have sunk without a trace without Ranveer. It would have been a Raabta. That is what star power is to me. When people go to check it out.

I could write essays, but a career is not a sprint, it's a marathon. And from my not so great analysis, there are certain traits that are common for an outsider and insider who succeed. One they know their place is in BW, no doubts about that. They are completely arrogant about it while others see themselves as second class citizens in BW and think people like KJo are all that. Most of all, they work hard, learn or are interested in all areas of their craft like music, direction, are willing to take risks and have a plan for their career, goals on where they will be. Ranveer is in that mold. Arjun for instance is not IMO.

As for partnerships, what would Leo be without Martin Scorsese, what would Johnny Depp be without Tim Burton. These collaborations have produced some of the most memorable movies. So what is wrong with Ranveer and SLB collaborating ?

Ayyyoo.

No, I never felt like his costars have overshadowed him.. He's a good actor ji, IMO 😃

As for his eccentricity, I think it's just part of his character. IDK if he wears bizarre clothes because he genuinely likes trying out "new" things or if he does that by design to maintain a public image.. I feel it's mostly the former, because the guy genuinely has a zest for life, positivity, he likes to enjoy himself and have a good time.

Some people are eccentric, and IDK if they do it for attention, because attention can also be gained by maintaining a saintly, conventionally stylish image.. I feel it is a reality that some people are genuinely eccentric.

Thing is, we find such eccentricity showing in celebs because they can get away with it. There are some peeps in real life also who like trying out weird clothes/fashion, but don't because they'd be risking their vulnerable social image, friends wouldn't want to be seen with them, they get judged, ridiculed, bullied and would be considered lunatic.

Not that many don't consider Ranveer a loon, but thing is he can get away 'cos he is in showbiz, he has a career and has a strong social image, wherein his social circle accepts his clothing as a part of 'Ranveer Singh'. And, while fashion police may tear his sense of fashion apart, there are many who praise the guts or the eccentricity. And, he can get away without anything to lose, that is why he keeps trying all sorts of clothes.

That is why we keep thinking he's the only specimen who is eccentric, but the only difference is, although there may be many among the commoners, we cannot afford to lose our image.. if everyone could get away dressing as they wish without fear of being judged, you'd see MUCH variety and a lot more bizarre fashion in the society and Ranveer wouldn't look like a single clown of a specimen in India that we are all making him out to be.

Sorry for writing such a lengthy novel ☺️

That chart is not a good analysis. If his success is all about DP and SLB, his flops need to be all about YRF. Lets be fair here

People used to bash him that his heroines stole limelight from him.

In BBB - Anushka got all praises. LVRB - Parineeti stole the spotlight. Sonakshi took all accolades for Lootera and Deepika aced in Ram Leela

Well each to their own but I feel he is decent. He just needs right films - with right budgeting.

He DOES have somewhat star power. Befikre's opening hints that. Just needs to utilise that. After Bajirao he chose a horrible film. He needed a better film. But until that is proven. And hit without Bhansali/Deepika - may give him a secure place i guess

i am sorry..may be we have different perspective

but befikre's opening is primarily because it was directed by aditiya chopra..the same director who gave back to back BBs like DDLJ..mohabatein..RNBDJ..

it was bound to open well with the goodwill of the director behind it or else it may as well have opened how kill dill opened..

that also had ranveer minus a hit director and here it was aditiya chopra..

secondly nashe si chadgai is the biggest chartbuster of the decade and that also contributed ..

sure ranveer did contribute but to say it was all thanks to ranveer when you have a director who has given back to back BBs..i am sorry but i won't give him credit for that

Karan Johar can produce 100 films for Alia/Varun...but as long as they "act" good its not a problem because of their "talent", according to most people here, its ok that KJO creates and lobbys for work for Alia/Varun because their talented... but for other people these rules don't apply?

God forbid Ranveer Singh works with Deepika or SLB multiple times but star kids can get away with it 😕 👏

Varun has given hits outside Dharma

He has done 9 films as of now including Judwaa 2
All are success and only 3 belong to Dharma. His most appreciated film/performance Badlapur belong to no big production house. He has delivered success with UTV Disney/Dharma/RCE/Maddock Films/Balaji/NGE. Now working with Shoojit Sircar's PH, Tiwari/RKF and YRF.

If we are looking at clean hits - Badlapur and Super Hit ABCD 2 are non-Dharma films that Kjo didn't get for Varun. You don't even see Kjo promoting these movies. He only promotes Alia or Sid's non- Dharma films. Varun's last 4 releases were 10cr plus man. Stop giving Kjo all the credit for his success

Crediting DP and SLB for Ranveer's success is as much blasphemy as taking credit away from Deepika the actress and SLB the director as individual performer. 🤪

SLB is one director who can extract great performances from the leading actors be it female or male. Except Shahrukh Khan everyone has given either their most memorable(acting wise) or one of the most memorable piece of acting under SLB's direction. Ranveer is no exception. Why BM and RL are such talked about is because Ranveer is a great actor specially in theatrics and combined with the scope of the work given to him in RL and BM he was exceptional. Its SLBs credit he used Ranveer's potential to the fullest and mixed it with something that works with Indian audience so BM and RL worked.

Lootera has such great potential but due to its slow pace it didn't worked with majority. But that doesn't negate the fact that Ranveer was exceptional in that. Even BBB was a good debut.

I say Ranveer should stick to SLB as long as he is able to have some memorable characters in his plate. Khilji looks extremely promising.Whats wrong in working with same director again? in the end only good work matters nothing else.

He needs papa KJo, who can drape him in Manish Malhotra and train him for the NRI audience... until that is achieved he has not arrived. Zoya tried in DDD, but then KJo is in a different league altogether with such things

I am not doubting his acting ability but his star power I guess. I mean his off screen popularity. And I have nothing to do with alia or varun or any other actor.

Don't turn this into a warzone. I just want to know your opinions. You can discuss peacefully. Chill.

Everything was fine until you called Nashe se Chad Gayi biggest chartbuster. YOUTUBE view counts don't prove what is blockbuster and what isn't

LOL!!!!

It's not even in top 20 if you take everything into credit
