Ranbir as Sanju. - Page 2

I liked Ranbir initially. I liked him in Sawariya songs. Didn't watch the movie till later and still not completely. Then I liked him in movies like Ajab Prem, Wake up sid, Rajneeti. Didn't watch bachna ae, didn't like his look from the trailer and songs and didn't watch Rocket singh cuz it didn't look interesting. By that time, especially after Rajneeti, I thought he was a good actor.

Then I watched Rockstar and Barfi. I loved Rockstar and still do and don't know why it was criticised so much. After that and Barfi, I thought he was a very good actor. Didn't think he was the best or great or anything. But then I came across people and articles calling him the best actor ever. And things like these change people's perceptions so it probably did for me too. Then I think came YJHD, and while I liked the movie, I didn't get the extreme craze for it. That is also when I read somewhere and started realising he always does the same kind of roles in all movies. I was unimpressed with him in that movie and it was mainly a Deepika movie for me. Post that, I haven't watched any of his movies because I've never been interested to watch his one dimensional acting really. Not even Tamasha.

People, including me, have praised him a lot for Rajneeti. I watched it again recently and expected him to have done well but I realised his acting was mediocre. The reason why he suited that character was because he's like that in his real life. Very much played himself. And I don't criticise actors for playing characters close to their real personality onscreen but it definitely doesn't deserve to be called a brilliant performance in that case.

Since this post is a reaction to my comment in another thread, I thought I should reply to it. You called me a hater and now having read your post, I can call you a stan but I don't want to because I don't know you. Just because the majority have liked your favourite's work and somebody doesn't, you don't have to take offence at that call them names.

He's the most overrated actor we have and the only reason he is good is because he keeps playing the same character over and over again.

Whether its Sanju or Rockstar or Ayaan - He is always playing the man-child. Circumstances are different in these films - but the heart of the character is mostly the same.

Give him a film like Shahid...or a role like Badlapur or even something simple like Stree and you will see him falter.

No zara. My word you seem to want to call me unfair today. Thats twice now.😆

I am perfectly ok with someone not liking his performance. I have said already that even people who dont will be appreciated if they tell me why not.

What i do have a problem with is when someone self confessedly saying that they only saw the trailer and decided that his acting was caricaturish. Would you call that fair?

I know why you said this...and i recommend you read tge entire conversation between me and astha back in the thread where we spoke earlier ttoday before butting in and casting aspersions upon my biasedness. She did not watch the movie😊. Thats ok too. But then should she be giving opinions on it?

But he didn't played the caricature of Sanjay Dutt, or the definition of caricature is also subjective.

Rajneeti apgpk tamasha barfi who was a man child? 😕

Rockstar was a man child??

Anyway.

I liked shahid in haider. His best performance till date. As far as badlapur goes...sorry i disagree.

I doubt he will falter with something as simple as stree.

Maybe you will feel differently after shamshera.😃

my comment was purely based on wat u wrote on this thread, i didn't know this thread was a reply to astha, so i had no intention of 'butting' in to anything, if astha saw the trailer and didn't like his performance then thats her perspective, if u hav a problem with that then u can talk to her directly

you wrote if people thought his performance was caricaturish then that may be because they dislike him, and then u wrote 'fanwar', i know people who watched the whole film and didn't think his performance was effective, and they are not rs fans or haters so they r not being biased, so its not fair to just say that people who say that r haters

I am a Ranbir fan as an actor.

Sanju I did not like because I felt he did over acting in this film. Also in Rockstar , after he becomes Rockstar I did not like his acting.

Rest all Ranbir's films, top marks for acting
