Yes he can act & act very well, its just that he hasn't done that many author backed roles in so called content films with many Actor's directors. Varun so far has been more about elevating half baked caricaturish roles & lousy scripts which in itself is a very rare ability. Only well written roles he has done so far are Badlapur & Badrinath, in both he was unanimously praised.

Besides the fact that he has overshadowed Desi Meryl Streep😆 not once but thrice (SOTY, Humpty & most prominently in Badri) says something no😆

Anyways the good thing is he is aware when he is going OTT, I mean a Judwaa2 or Main Tera Hero would have not been successful if he had toned down those films worked coz of his madcap energy, some films are pitched that way for theatre going audience. Only thing he needs to work on is his voice modulation, his dialogue delivery is clear though atleast he doesn't mumbles or eats up his words like almost every other actor of his gen😆 but yeah there's always room for improvement his line up looks very promising.

There is nothing really likable about him IMO. His dialogue delivery and voice modulation is a major turn-off for me. I've watched Badlapur and his performance was just okay in it. It was all Bad as show for me. Plus he's not hot or good looking. Looks like an ape, but still keeps showing his body in every other movie. He's just a wannabe from top to bottom.

There is no comparison of Govinda and this wannabe. Govinda was a natural actor+comedian. He was what you call an entertainer. Never needed to show his body. Even Salman is a much better actor. I can't imagine Varun pulling of a Tere Naam or Dabangg, but young Salman could have done all the shit Varun does in his every other movie.

But of course you can't say anything against him, because he has 100% success rate. Sach me paisa hai to saath khoon bhi maaf hai.

Lol you're sooo gutsy. I'm totally with you. I find him classless, not good looking and a total wannabe. I personally feel offended when people compare him to Govinda or Salman. I consider Govinda a great comedian and a masterclass of acting no matter how cringey his films were considered to be. And people like to roast Salman on his acting but he is way more charismatic, charming, and lovable than Varun and actually LOOKS like a hero.

He has everything to succeed in BW : good acting + Talented + good looks + great entertainer. ⭐️

As usual he is quite under-rated on IF.

yeah👍🏼
