1-Movie-Rockstar
Year- 2011
IMDB- 7.7/10
The movie directed by Imtiaz Ali is one of the most successful movies of all time. Ranbir Kapoor was killed in the movie with his phenomenal acting. The songs, lyrics, and the entire story of the movie are just so heart-touching. Though the film has many flaws, Ranbir’s acting, his dedication to the role, and the emotions expressed make the movie an outstanding one. The movie ends on an unhappy note, which makes it realistic. Rockstar is a story about a boy who is passionate about singing. His love for a girl makes him a successful singer but leads to his self-destruction at the same time. The songs like ‘Kun faya’ and ‘nadaan parindey’ are my favorites. The movie is blessed with the mellifluous voice of Mohit Chauhan. You must watch this beautiful combination of Ranbir Kapoor and Imtiaz Ali.

5- Movie- Raajneeti
Year- 2010
IMDB- 7.1/10
Here comes a movie on a serious issue. Raajneeti is one of the best movies of Ranbir Kapoor. He surprises us with his scintillating performance. The motion picture is based upon the grim situation of politics. The movie was able to gather a pool of audience because it portrays the dark side and corruption going on in the world of politics. The movie is based upon the theme of an epic, “Mahabharata.” Though the movie is filled with amazing actors, Ranbir Kapoor manages to stand out and outshine all the other actors. This movie makes the audience realise that Ranbir Kapoor is a wholesome actor capable of giving an outstanding performance in each role. Through his dark, serious look, Ranbir Kapoor makes a serious criticism of the democratic system and the feudal mentality of the police force.

Year- 2018
IMDB- 7.8/10
Sanju, a biopic based on the life of the marvellous actor Sanjay Dutt. The movie aims to give attributes to the actor and to remove all the controversies regarding his personal and jail life. There comes a point in the movie where it will be difficult for the audience to recognise if it’s Ranbir or Sanjay Dutt himself. Ranbir did justice to the role. Ranbir performed each aspect of Dutt’s life brilliantly and also in the most appealing way. I couldn’t think of anyone who could replace Ranbir Kapoor for the role of Sanjay Dutt. Sanju emerged as the highest-grossing Bollywood movie of 2018.
