based on the information and interviews raj kapoor was very much like aamir of todays. ranbir aint a supersta. hes a star a pretty big one but not a superstar like srk or aamir.
ranbir has the stardom like anil kapoors during his heydays i believe.

I have to say that the work of media is not at all providing proper information but manipulating people's minds with wrong facts, which should exactly be the opposite. Rajesh Khanna was a super duper star, a phenomenon, a sensation, a rage, a craze at his peak. But telling that he is the first superstar is exaggerated. As far as my knowledge goes, it is K.L. Saigal who was the first superstar. Since, then there have been many superstars like Ashok Kumar, Dilip Kumar, Raj Kapoor, Dev Anand and Rajendra Kumar. Today's generation has very very little knowlege about the history of Hindi Cinema and this is how media manipulates 👎🏼.Originally posted by: AwaamKiJaan
Rajesh Khanna was the first actor to be tagged as a Superstar. So technically anyone before him including Raj Kapoor wasn't a Superstar.😆
For Ranbir it is debatable but Raj wasn't a Superstar for sure.😆
Do you mean to say that people did not know the term "Superstar" before 1969-70 ???Originally posted by: AwaamKiJaan
If you wanna say something to me, say it directly.
I feel you have a habit of making personal attacks on anyone whose views don't match with you. Have seen many like you on this forum.
What I meant was the term "Superstar" was first coined for Rajesh Khanna. He was called the first Superstar. So technically Raj Kapoor can't be a Superstar because he came before Khanna.
And it was all a joke, so take a chill pill!
Its disgrace to Raj kapoor to be comapred to Ranbir
At 24 years raj kapoor directed barsaat movie and at 26 awara
These are finest movies of hindi movie till now
Ranbir is not 5% of his granpa talent
I mean imagine at 22 Raj kapoor directed movie aag at 24 barsaat at 31 shree 420 and awara at 27 and you compare him to ranbir who keeps same expression similar roles in all movies
Raj kapoor can only be compared to guru dutt or bimal roy none else in indian cinema

Yeah, the term Superstar was first used in Bollywood for Rajesh Khanna. It was synonymous to him like King Khan is for SRK or Megastar for Salman.
Dilip Kumar, Raj Kapoor, Ashok Kumar etc. were never called Superstars in their prime. Though we can say that their stardom was not less and now looking back, we can call them Superstars as well.
I think the hero worshipping culture started with Rajesh Khanna, when fans started doing crazy stuff like writing letters with blood or marrying his photograph, which was partly the reason he's tagged as the first Superstar.

True thats because rajeash khanna gave 11 or 13 super hits continuous that no hero before or after has given
So he was called super star
