Oh I was just PMSing real bad, the emotional outbursts happens every month by clockwork 😆

Jokes aside, guy is a total people pleaser. I decided to date him because he’s sweet and always listens to me but I realized he struggles to say no to people, especially new people….Assertive hona chahiye life mein

You must be the most important person in his life. If you are, then mera aashirwad tum dono ke saath hai.

He's a media superstar like many actors (and actresses) today.

Does he have box-office pull? Sure. He's not a no-name. But I remember him being the most hyped-up debutant. He hasn't lives up to that hype.

He just gave Sanju, the biggest hit of the year, trashing all other big superstar movies. What more do you want from him? He has not only more than lived upto the hype but exceeded everyone's expectations.

With just one Big hit if anyone becomes superstar then RAHUL ROY & KUMAR GAURAV had much BIGGER HIT compared to Sanju with movies like Aashqui and Love Story respectively with their debut.

A debut movie becoming a success or failure cannot be credited to the actors of the movie.

But Ranbir was already a superstar who trashed every other superstar. Now he is an even bigger superstar.

Ranbir has given a number of big hits like YJHD, APKGK, Rajneeti, Sanju, Barfi, Wake Up Sid, Rockstar. He is not just a one hit wonder like the ones you mentioned.

No, ranbir kapoor is not a superstar. 'Star' and 'Superstar' are very loosely used terms used randomly by the media ( maybe due to a lot of pr machineries ). First we need to understand when are actors called stars and when they are called superstars, in terms of films. Its like Actor, then Star and then finally Superstar, step by step, a chain.

An 'Actor' is someone, of course, who acts.

A 'Star' is that actor who is commercially, economically saleable and viable. Someone who is bankable and popular, someone who appeals to the audience, whom the audiences identify and will go to cinema halls to see the picture, someone who has got name value and face value. Thus, a 'Star' has got box office pull, no matter to what extent.

Now comes a 'Superstar'. A 'Superstar' is that Big Star who roars at the ticket windows. Someone whose name and mere presence is enough to make a big difference in the sellng price of a film. Someone whose face in the poster is enough to draw audiences to the theatres, a crowd puller. Someone who dominates the posters of his films. Someone who is extremely and immensely popular both among masses and classes, and can give huge first weekend numbers not depending on the content of the film always. Someone who can sell his own films. Someone on whose name distributors pick up films, sometimes not even bothering about the content. To become a Superstar, one has to become that big elusive hugely popular genuinely legit real box-office star. A Star who falls under the top bracket has to deliver hits after hits, superhits after superhits, and blockbusters after blockbusters, actually ruling the box - office, to reach the Superstar level.

Now in ranbir's case, he came close to that after the success of yeh jawaani hai deewani. There was a craze in the youth which purely reflects in the excellent opening numbers of besharam. But the picture flopped and so was his next few films like roy, bombay velvet ( bombay velvet was a very big disaster ) and tamasha. Thus, he couldn't consolidate his success and the craze vanished, though he is still popular. After that 3 of his films released in a span of 3 years. Out of which, ae dil hai mushkil and sanju became successful, while jagga jasoos which released in between them flopped. And its been 3 years none of his films released. Stars have Stardom, Superstars have Superstardom. As of now, we can't say that ranbir has superstardom. He has not yet seen or experienced box office superstardom so far. Thus, coming to a conclusion, he is not yet a Superstar.

The only problem why Ranbir couldn't achieve that superstar tag was because of the long gaps between his movie releases. I mean he gives years and years to one movie. Either it be Jagga or Bhramastra. And now COVID has again hampered the theatre presence.

If it was not for the delat he would really be a bankable star. And a few directors do rely on him because for the depth of the story and character to be understood you need a person like RK. Who can comit himself completely to the director. Either it be Tamasha aur Jagga Jasoos the movies which flopped in Box Office are now very much appreciated.

He might not be a superstar yet but he is an amazing and mind-blowing actor 😍😍 And people who have problems with him, get over it just like his exes did 🥱

In tamil there is a dialogue by comedy actor Santhanam. Ivana superstar sappi pone star maari irukkaan. Its like saying he isn’t a superstar. The saying is like a rhyme and often used to joke or ridicule a unworthy person. That’s what I remember whenever someone say Ranbir is a superstar.
