Astrologer Vikkramm Chandirramani Shares An In-Depth Astrological Insight Into Ranbir Kapoor’s Career (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Ranbir Kapoor’s foray into cinema began early, with short films he created in his early twenties – a subtle yet telling expression of the creative legacy passed down from his iconic grandfather, Raj Kapoor, who himself directed his first feature at just 24. That inheritance is reflected not only in spirit but also in name: Ranbir was named after his grandfather, whose full name was Ranbir Raj Kapoor.

Long before he appeared on screen, Ranbir immersed himself in the process behind it. He assisted on Prem Granth (1995), helmed by his uncle Rajiv Kapoor, and Aa Ab Laut Chalen (1999), directed by his father, Rishi Kapoor. These early experiences were formative, grounding him in the workings of the industry. His most significant apprenticeship, however, came with Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Black (2005), a film he worked on closely behind the scenes.

Over the years, acclaimed Indian actor Ranbir Kapoor has delivered a wide range of memorable performances. From his early films like Wake Up Sid, Rocket Singh, and Raajneeti to impactful roles in Rockstar, Tamasha, and Sanju, he has consistently showcased his acting prowess.

Anurag Basu is a talented filmmaker known for directing several critically acclaimed films, including Gangster (starring Kangana Ranaut and Shiney Ahuja), the heartwarming romantic drama Barfi! (with Ranbir Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra), and the dark comedy crime drama Ludo. And his latest release, Metro In Dino, is now making waves on IMDb.

In today’s Ott era, many viewers are hesitant to watch sequels in theaters— unless they’re star-studded or packed with action and spectacle. So, it wasn’t surprising that some audiences might have initially hesitated about watching a relationship-driven, character-centric spiritual sequel like Metro In Dino in cinemas.

However, defying all expectations, the latest Anurag Basu directorial has surprised IMDb with a fine score. But has it surpassed its predecessor, Life In A Metro (also directed by...

The immensely talented Indian actor Ranbir Kapoor has delivered some spellbinding performances over his entire career. From Anurag Basu’s period rom-com Barfi! to Imtiaz Ali’s intense romantic drama Tamasha to his most recent film Animal, his filmography has been splendid, to say the least. As an actor, he is also inspired by other actors, and Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s performance has immensely impressed him.

The Performance That Bowled Over Ranbir Kapoor

In an earlier roundtable interview conducted by Rajeev Masand, Ranbir Kapoor was asked about a performance that blew his mind that year. The charming actor promptly replied that the performance that bowled him over was Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s act in Anurag Kashyap’s Gangs of Wasseypur – Part 2, which came out in 2012.

The Rockstar actor further revealed that when he saw that performance on screen,...

What Did Sandeep Reddy Vanga Say About Being Criticized For Animal While Ranbir Kapoor Was Praised? (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Animal, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, became one of the most talked-about films of 2023. Starring Ranbir Kapoor in an intense and violent role, the film pushed boundaries with its raw action and emotional depth. Ranbir, known for his versatility in films like Barfi! and Sanju, delivered what many called his career’s most transformative performance. The film was both praised and criticized in equal measure.

While fans and critics lauded Ranbir’s portrayal of the troubled protagonist, Animal also sparked debates over its extreme violence and portrayal of women. Some felt the film glorified toxic masculinity, while others argued it was an honest depiction of a deeply flawed character. Amidst this polarizing response, director Sandeep Reddy Vanga found himself at the center of industry criticism despite the film’s massive success at the box office.

Anurag Basu: Using freedom of creativity & misusing it

New Delhi, Feb 22: Filmmaker Anurag Basu says filmmakers have always explored bold subjects irrespective of the medium it is presented on. However, the line that differentiates freedom of creativity and misusing that freedom needs to be kept in mind by filmmakers at all times.

"It's a very thin line between using the freedom of creativity and misusing it. I believe in Ott as well. Filmmakers should look at using freedom of speech in the best possible way to tell unique stories," Basu told Ians.

His new film Ludo, an anthology drama, dropped on Ott platform a few months back and will make its television premiere soon.

"A lot of filmmakers have explored bigger and bolder subjects on the big screen as well. My film 'Ludo' dealt with many bold subjects and was initially planned for the big screen," he added.

Best Actresses of 2011
For admirers of films with prominent female roles, 2011 has certainly not been the best year for quality or choice. Actors have ruled the screen with substantial hero films like Ra. One, Ready and in the case of Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, three major hero roles. The silence from the actresses corner has been so much that we at BollySpice have decided to bring the countdown from our usual ten down to five to adequately represent the performances throughout the year. Though it was quiet on the leading lady front in terms of roles, these five ladies gave performances that had to be singled out. See who impressed us in 2011!

Kunal Kohli
Priyanka Chopra plays an upcoming actress and Shahid Kapoor plays a struggling music composer from the 1960s in Kunal Kohli's film. And Kohli insists she's a happy character.

You know, sometimes an actor makes his debut in any film industry, be it Bolly or Holly, and he does not make much of an impression. It is only years later, when he gets that one special role, that you see him for the fine actor that he is. You then look back at his first movies and say, oh that was him? Not with Ranbir Kapoor.
