Barun An actor-A debate (MODs close the topic) - Page 3

agree many talented ppl are stuck in tellywood and kids of celebs are getting film offers...hopeless case

i feel any actor is also the director's baby. in diwali i remember one scene, when khushi drops her purse in his car just after the near kiss episode and she struggles ts with her pallu to get it back, she is on the verge of tears. he sees this and ssimply gulps...there Barun showed how minutely he captures expression and i fel the credit also goes to the director for extracting such scenes and Barun for enacting it. best actor is a relative term because there is no best in such a wide world. but he is defenitely living asr's role and bringing it to life and for me when I can relate to a caarcter and forget the actor behind it...i call it good acting. for me barun has merged with asr. ditto for sanaya. so i feel he is a good actor and i won't go into best etc

My 2 cent opinion.

oops, I double posted! Apologies.

Firstly, you are entitled to your opinion.

Secondly, I don't agree with you. 😳

I personally feel Barun Sobti is a great actor...one of kind IMO. When people talk about expressions a lot of people tend to like theatrical expressions. When many people talk about acting, a lot of people tend to prefer methodical acting. Barun Sobti is all about subtlety.

I didn't watch much of his work before IPKKND. But I do remember the first time I noticed him as actor. While switching channels I happened to watch a late night repeat of an episode of his last show BHPH and in that scene, he screamed...Just get the hell out of here...I remember jumping from my seat not only because I was startled but also because the power of his voice amazed me. I was literally shivering for seconds. My instant reaction was...Man he's good.

Later when IPKKND promos came on air...I was even more awed. There is particular shot in the promo 4 where Khushi picks up some papers from the floor and stairs at her through the window. That's when it's said in the background... Kyunki mohabbat in mein dard banke rehta hai. Back then we didn't know who ASR was...we didn't know about his dark past...but the pain and his longing for Khushi was evident in his eyes. It made me wonder why he cannot love this girl. If you mute the volume and rewatch the promo you can still feel his pain.

As ASR he has portrayed a wide range of emotions.

Being devoid of emotions...Yes that is an emotion too. In the initial episodes people found him wooden, expressionless. But back then, ASR was supposed to be like that...cold, unfeeling. He voice had to sound dead, his face had to look blank most of the time except for the occasions where he had to look smug.

Expressing pain / affection...There are lot's scenes with Anjali where they remember their past. I remember one scene where after Anjali faints from fasting ( Back in June 2011)...They have a bro-sis moment there where....Di aap meri family ho...aap sab kuch ho. He makes it look real.

Portraying love, desire, attraction, sexual tension...he excels in all of that. There are so many moments...where do I even start?

Portraying anger /rage ... The 15^th February scene where he breaks down and screams his lungs out.

Comedy... He is great at that too. There were so many Arhi scenes where we died laughing.

After ASR is kidnapped there is one particular scene where ASR hallucinates Khushi...he beautifully portrays his joy of seeing her and at the time his disbelief that she's really there. When she carasses his face...it was like he was waiting for this moment all his life.

Another favorite scene of mine was during Jiji tera jethji deewana where he bursts out laughing. I never understood what people meant by tears of joy. I never really cried when I was happy. After Arnav burst out of laughing, I was so happy that I had tears in my eyes...as if ASR was real.

There is another scene during the kidnapping track where he beats two of the kidnappers senseless. He didn't have any dialogues in that episode but you won't even notice until someone points it out.

As for his dialogue delivery...well I am not Indian but I have been watching Bollywood movies since I was a kid and I am fluent at Hindi and I can even read a little bit.

I never had any issue understanding his dialogues...I don't have to rewatch his scenes and watch in low volume because I hate any loud noise. Besides the sound of voice completely melts me. I died when he said Hi. 😍

I have watched a lot of Bollywood movies...Yes there are better actors. Acting is a craft and just like any other craft, it gets better with practice. But that doesn't make him any less. Just because he is a TV actor, it doesn't make him less talented. 😳

In the movie Black, there was a little girl who played the young Rani (forgot the name of character). She was no less than the Rani in that movie. Age or experience doesn't always matter.

As for his looks, I find him very good looking...I think he has great features. Chiseled but not too sharp or too not hard on the eyes. His profile is amazing.

Anyway...this is just my opinion. I am a Barun Sobti fangirl. 😳

Thanks for the post...I got the opportunity to praise him once again. 😉

PS : I really don't know what to say to anyone who finds Arnav in love cringe worthy. This is Arhi's love story...how can people watch it if they find 'Arnav in love cringeworthy'? 😕

Excuse the typos...there are many 😳

I am sorry but I dont agree with you. And NO, its not because I'm obbessed with the guy. I sure do have his pic as my profile but I certainly dont have him on my computer, cell or anywhere else! I am just a normal girl who has deep respect for this man!

The only flaw I see is that of the volume of his dialouges. I mean when he is saying those intense dialouges I can hardly hear them thats it! I know its not a major flaw but thats my complain.( though its got nothing to do with barun but still yeah.. )

Well as for his acting skills go the guy is phenomenal!. I am sorry to ask this but what made you cringe during that beautiful hug?
I've seen a few of scenes from his previous show and boy, there is major difference in his acting! He has grown as an actor.
For me, his eyes speaks volumes. The amusement in his eyes whenever he is messing with Khushi. He brings on the emotions bang on. Its whats required for the character of ASR!

We have his movie coming up and we can judge him then as well because the genre of the movie is comedy! So we might get to an all together different Barun sobti!

Yes, I do love this guy immensely! I've never had a crush on anyother actor but I'll still say that I'm not obbessed with him. So my love for him doesnt come in the way of judging him as an actor!

I honestly love your honesty! Keep it up girl! :)

Edit-

I agree, there may be other good actors but there is only ONE Barun Sobti!

lol...i thnk u didnt see the epi in whch arnav was crying aftr the gr8 terrace scene ...

yeah agree with u
