Ranbir VS Shahid

Both have slightly cankerous relation with their father. While one was born with platinum spoon in his mouth, another was born on wrong side of blanket. Both seem to follow Aamir's footstep where acting is concerned. Both have been famous for their less than savory personal relation and have been considered PR nightmare. Both are known for their acting abilities more than their BO reach. Their tryst with stardom is prickly. Shahid has settled down with Mira and RK is romantically free.

Discuss their strength, weaknesses, movies. Who will win this battle?

This one is tough, because both win for me for different reasons.

Shahid's potential was never utilized coz he was stuck behind Khans and HR.
RK had better opportunities and he is better placed coz Shahid's screen age is much more than RK
So it's RK for me

I love Shahid. He is truly awesome. Tommy Singh was kick-ass and perfect !

But Ranbir's passion for movies and the kind of movies he wants to make for Indian cinema, is un-paralleled. He is a "quiet" mad scientist when it comes to movies. From wanting to be behind and front of the camera POV. I've only seen such calm madness in 1 other person. Raj Kapoor

^ That's true about SK, he lacks passion for cinema and is trapped under expectations of being a star. RK can afford to let stardom take a backseat coz he is a Kapoor . SK never had this choice .

Ranbir Obviously (Not because I'm his fan). Keep BO aside, since none of Shahid's films have ever crossed 70cr. But, even if you compare as a performer RK is miles ahead. Shahid started taking his career seriously from 2014 (Haider) before that he hasn't experimented anything. He's a good actor & I'm glad he's started doing good content oriented films. In the other hand RK started experimenting & taking up challenging roles from the beginning of his career & he already had 5-6 Top Notch critically acclaimed performance in just 5 years & carved a niche for himself.

Ranbir is near perfect since his debut.

Shahid is getting better recently. I always find him little wannabe.

Ranbir dances like an actor with charm and grace.

Shahid dances like a dancer and he is a good dancer.

To be honest , SK has been always a wanna be , always struggled to reach the A lister .

SK had the x factor which could have helped him to be on Khans level good actor, great dancer, but his disadvantage was when he came khans were ruling like anything but yet he made his mark ...many debutant of that era fail to make a mark like priyanshu, aftab shdivsani ,arjum rampal , abhiskeh bachan ...only hritik and shahid survived :) ...i never was fan of RK although he is a good actor
