I thought we had 20 pages of discussing the topic on hand, but more than half of this thread has some Meryl Streep/Alia argument going on instead.. š
Anyway, as many have mentioned, I definitely feel the praises for Ranbir are genuine (on and off KWK). Someone mentioned here how they liked Ranbir in his movies a lot more than they liked Ranveer in his - that is actually something I have been wanting to say which kind of ties back to this topic. I like Ranveer and Ranbir..and many may think otherwise because I tend to be biased towards Ranbir, but there is a reason for that. I loved Ranbir in almost all of his movies, whether they were a hit, mediocre or a flop. He leaves a mark somewhere with almost every performance. Some mentioned how many of Ranbir's performances have a haunting tendency, as in the performance stays with you for a while. I completely agree with that as well. Something as simple as the closing scene of an average film such as ADHM where Ranbir is lipsyncing Channa Meraya left such an impact that I could even forgive Kjo for his shitty second half. He's also an effortless actor vs Ranveer, at least in my opinion. Ranveer is more of a director's actor and you can tell.
I loved Ranveer in many of his films, BBB, DDD and of course Lootera. There was a time I thought because of Lootera alone, Ranveer the best new actor Bollywood had..but then I haven't seen consistency and it goes back to liking Ranbir a lot more in all of his films vs. Ranveer in his.
