2 States, starring two newcomers having average track record at BO went on to become 100 crore grosser. The film (according to BO site) has grossed 96 crore and will definitely go on to make 100 crore... Its really remarkable that this film had average buzz and people before the film had no hopes from it.

On other hand Gunday had three known faces, had exceptional buzz around it and amazing songs but still failed to earn over 80 crore and has been declared Semi-Hit. After first day fans of Ranveer gave EXCLUSIVE credit to him of being sole reason behind film's success, So it wouldn't be wrong to blame that he doesn't have star power to make film even a hit.

So what do you think with phenomenal response 2 States is getting, can it be said Arjun is bigger star than Ranveer is!?

Right now in terms of BO, both are on equal footing , hit debut, flop in betn and a 100 Cr film, another 2-3 films will determine who's better. Though Arjun has delivered a 100 cr film in just his 3rd outing.

I don't think he's a bigger star but right now Arjun proved he can deliver super hits just like Veer. We should wait for couple of more years to see where they each are, but so far I think Arjun and Veer are ahead of the other newbies 🥳

If not ahead Arjun is atleast equal to Ranveer at the moment
Even then Arjun has a good chance of completely overtaking him by the end of the year
Though I dont think either can be or deserve to be solely credited

Fourth. Ishaqzaade, Aurangzeb, Gunday now 2 States. Its kind of funny actually, the only film of Arjun Kapoor that underperformed should have outperformed all of the others, as it had better content. Aurangzeb.

Just as a note, Ranveer delivered a 100 crore film in his fourth outing too. BBB, LVRB, Lootera and finally Ram Leela.

Both are on equal footing IMO. Arjun could race ahead if FFF does well, which really just depends on the performances and promotions. Coz Kill Dill sounds like another dud like YRF's Gunday. 😆

yea Arjun has a better line up (commercially) then Ranveer, FFF looks interesting, its an offbeat, english language film, will add to his variety, Tevar will do well if promoted and marketed well, I am biased towards Arjun, yet to like Ranveer, lets see what the future holds.

i think they're about equal, although Arjun could pull ahead with his future films. I think Arjun has a good sense for what works for him, and that will definitely help him in the long run. Meanwhile, Ranveer seems more willing to take crazy chances, which could either help or hinder his career.

We shall see! I just hope they stay friends!

Both would have acted in 6 films by year end. We'll get a clear picture after FFF. KD and Tevar. Arjun clearly ahead of other newbies. But Ranveer has high profile projects like DDD and BM coming up so he's the bigger star currently.

Its too early to say whose the bigger star. I'm a fan of both Ranveer and Arjun, on and offscreen.

Arjun isn't solely responsible for 2 states success, a lot of factors played a role in its success.

I'm surprised that Gunday didn't do well, it had everything going for it. Arjun also starred in Gunday so if the theory that Arjun is a bigger star applies, then this film also should have crossed 100 crore.
