arey i'm not assuming, you wrote yourself that those that find the performance caricaturish must be people who dislike rk, you wrote it so how can i be assuming things?

and you wrote yourself to me that i was butting in just because i commented on this thread and that i shud hav known it was a reply to astha

i am not trying to judge you, i am just saying its not fair to assume those who didn't like the performance are just unnecessarily hating on rk, yes there are some who will be haters but not everyone is

Of course a trailer decides whether you want to watch or not. Your personal choice.

But judging an entire performance based on 2 minute trailer is not right.

Trust me i know what a stan is. And a hater. And yes...wanted to say that your post seemed like you probably are not a hater at all. Then i got embroiled with some other member who is very fast at typing.I was too quick to judge you on that. Maybe its a hangup of twitter fan wars. Sorry about that.

Found an old post I had written on Ranbir the actor, and it's still pretty much the same. I thought Sanju was problematic but he did his best in it too:

I didn't really think much of Ranbir initially in Saawariya or Bachna Ae Haseeno (he seemed very OTT in BAH especially), but when I watched Wake Up Sid in theaters in 2009, I was really blown away. I related to his character really well and I think he was superb in it.
Then Ajab Prem, Rocket Singh, Rajneeti, Barfi happened and I was impressed with his range - extremes with slapstick comedy like Ajab Prem to serious and cunning in Rajneeti to emotional in Barfi is no mean feat!

I think till YJHD (IMO while an above-average film, he seemed a bit repetitive, though I loved his scenes with Farooq Sheikh), everything was going really well. Unfortunately Besharam, Roy and Bombay Velvet especially put a dampener and while I haven't seen any of these 3 in full, I think it was more the films than his performance that was bad.

I watched Tamasha and enjoyed his performance thoroughly but can see why it didn't really work at the box office; it was not for everyone. I just really related to it on a personal level. I personally love his performance in the emotional scene before Agar Tum Saath Ho and the deleted scene when Deepika visits him in his apt - it was so raw and touching. Not every actor can pull off such a role.

Amazing: Rockstar (though the actual film was unbearable), Barfi, Rocket Singh, Wake Up Sid

Good: Sanju, Rajneeti, JJ, Second half of Tamasha

Average: YJHD, BAH, First half of Tamasha, APKGK

Trash: Besharam, Anjaana Anjaani

Stoned: Roy

Not sure about BV (to judge his performance) cos I just couldn't sit through it and have never gathered the courage to re-watch it. And I have never watched Saawariya till date 😆

P.S. He is a really good actor but he has his hits and misses. He does better in non-gimmicky films which are not completely commercial. His off beat pairings are better too.

One of the best.
If we take commercial big stars like three Khans, HR, Akki, Ajay, Ranbir, Ranveer and Varun, then yes.
But than there are the likes of Ab Sr, Nawaz, Vicky and RKR. Who I don't think are any less, intact this scene starts around 6:36, I have hardly seen any act like that in BW, Nawaz just kills it.

I think Ranbir is one of the best we have from this gen.. I have watched only Ajab prem, YJHD, Barfi, Rockstar, ADHM and Sanju from his filmography and from that I think he was best in Barfi .. I loved loved loved that film and him in it! Rockstar as a film had no head or tail 😆 ..but must say he was splendid in it . He was good in YJHD.. but I loved DP more. Ajab prem is a hilarious film and I love it 😆 RK was so cute there and so was Kat. Didn't like him in ADHM.. every character was so unlikeable and the film was shit🤔

Sanjay dutt's swag and intensity suited ranbir! He did really well!

was ranbir in sanju
