Ranveer Singh surpasses Ranbir Kapoor - Page 2

No denying that there were two kinds of lobbies trying to declare this film a flop even before it reached the audience. Both failed, not because of blind, hate-filled fandoms, but because of the exceptional craft of both the actor (Ranveer) and the director.

I personally feel this is the same lobby that is hyping the terrorist Raiham Daikat (Akshay was good, but there was nothing to root for) to discredit the film’s theme of patriotism and Ranveer as the lead. The intent seems to be to push the narrative that people are watching the film not for the actor, the craft, or the nation, but for mindless bravado centred on a terrorist.

Ranveer has undeniably done the heavy lifting. As an audience, we experience the film through his lens....we feel with him. As I said earlier, if he had failed to connect with the audience, nothing could have saved the film.

Tbh, the whole Ranveer vs Ranbir debate ends with script choices. Ranbir is aligning himself with directors like Luv Ranjan and Vanga, known for their misogynistic views, to prop up an otherwise forgettable career. Ranveer, on the other hand, is taking risks by working with a director known purely for craft and a strong sense of nationalism.

I’m the last person to discredit Ranveer. Off-screen shenanigans aside, he has genuinely gained a fan in me through this performance.

I agree...Both the movies are essentially what they are because of their directors...

However, who do you think would've taken the fall if ,God forbid , the movie was a flop? Just so that you know, there were obituaries being written for Ranveer's career even before the movie was released calling it a disaster and a wannabe Animal and what not and that his career is all but finished and now he can only do the OTT content as a supporting actor...smiley5..Not the director, not the other supporting cast....

Happy for him, people had started putting non actor chomus like Kartik Aryan above him in the past few years just because he had some failures at BO.

I cannot recall the last time I saw a reddit thread on the biggest BW sub with these many upvotes...lol....love to see all this well deserved love for him and his film everywhere!!

Very few posts which won't reflect the petty competition between fandoms...

One, I would like to read in a discussion thread (not yet existing - after more than 2 weeks) about the movie Dhurandhar (i don't make threads anymore, btw, so it would be more by someone very invested into the movie).

No interest from my side to engage into a whatever comparison about the acting skills of Ranveer and Ranbir... completely different characters - 'thanks' to their upbringing)... (I liked that both had been part of TBOB, btw ).

Well, and relative to the numbers... just do the inflation-calculation and the numbers would be quite similar...

Ranbir fans will mock Ranveer for his of screen persona every chance they get but then look you in the eye and say Ranbir is a better actor than him. Show me one film where you see a glimpse of Ranveer Singh the person in any character he played I will show you countless scenes where Ranbir Kapoor is very visible in his characters. I’m not saying Ranbir is not a decent actor because he is but his fans don’t realize they contradict their own statements when it comes to Ranveer’s performance as an actor. There was never a debate about Veera’s acting but they will turn that into something now that they can no longer have the bigger box office claim 😒.
