Could there be anything that epitomises the swashbuckling Kapoor charm more than this archival picture taken in the fifties, featuring family patriarch Prithviraj, surrounded by his three handsome sons, Raj, Shammi and Shashi Kapoor, with his grandson Randhir Kapoor on his lap? With their blue green eyes and peaches and cream complexion, these men from Rawalpindi defined what north Indian an-mag was all about.





We were reminded of this when we saw Bombay Velvet last week and were gobsmacked by the nuanced, riveting and absolute power-packed performance by Prithiviraj's great grandson Ranbir Kapoor. Because, regardless of the negative box-office reception, most likely due to the film's weak script, and for being a few years ahead of its time for Indian audiences, there is no denying that Ranbir has turned in a magnificent performance, one that will be forever etched in the annals of cinematic excellence.



What's more, with his sixties old world moustache, his severely blow- dried frizz and vulnerable tough guy demeanor, the young superstar's resemblance to Raj Kapoor someone he's known to worship is uncanny. "He has the same larger-than-life approach to cinema, and the same passion for it," informs a family source, "which is why, in spite of his recent box-office bad luck, Bollywood remains solidly behind him, and he still commands the best position and price amongst the new gen," said the source. How has he taken BV's box office disappointment we enquired. "On his chin" said the source, "After all, he knows how Raj ji also went through many career reversals, only to emerge stronger and more successful. This is only a small blip on a journey of a hundred miles."

oh god this kind of articles will never stop till tamasha and than they will start see that is the superstar we are talking about 😆. Thaank god Ranbir looks definetely looks wise not like Raj Kapoor or people would really go crazy to put him equally with him. And actingwise Ranbir tries hard to copy Raj Kapoor and thats the problem Ranbir is not unique.

And that's why I believe Ranbir will always get good films no matter how horrible he is at the box office. There are just too many people making sure he survives and becomes the 'Next Khan'. 😆

either Katrina or Neetu Singh wrote this! btw, I don't see anything splendid with Raj Kapoor...his off screen disgusting persona always made me dislike him...maybe that's why they meant when they compared Ranbir to Raj as Ranbir's off screen persona is what is making people dislike him now...

but man, he had a flop..can't they let it go? they are reminding us every now and then...

Excessive hype.

Kapoor men are swashbuckling? 😆

BV is magnificent, blah blah on performance?

Carry on.

These articles are worse than Abhishek Dhooms at the box office ones post D3.

Desperation of star kids! 🤢
