  • Imran khan movies – jane tu ya jane na [superhit] , i hate love story [hit] , delhi belly [superhit] , mere brother ki dulhan [hit] , ek main ek tu [hit] but Ranvir kapoor movies – ajab prem ki gajab kahani [superhit] , rajneeti 50/50 ranvir kapoor and ajay devgan [blockbuster] rock star [hit] you desied how are best imran ya ranvir i think imran is best and biggest superstar

  • @SKY: dont talk rubbish man. if an actor works with a big director, it doesnt mean that he is not a self made actor. ranbir worked with ayan mukerjee as well..remember???? imran may have worked with new directors, but with BIG banners..and with the backup of mamu aamir. (banner of the movie is the biggest thing than the director) may be ranbir has acting in his genes. and he is a very dedicated actor and intelligent in choosing characters. not like imran. it may be genes or anything, ranbir is a better actor and a superstar than imran..no doubt..and its obvious that whoever is jealous of ranbir talks rubbish things about him..

  • Imran khan movie in production jane tu ya jane na superhit and delhi bell superhit so aamir is best director and actor aamir always genes

  • Ranbir does not need to worry of imran acting because, he always act the same type of style.The main danger for ranbir is Ranveer singh who is better than IMRAN KHAN in EVERY LEVEL OF ACTING.

  • @ Indicine team

    Didnt expect such shoddy commentary from ur side.

    EMAET is average at best & wont do more than 40 crs.

    I hope u correct the numbers & the verdict.

    Rockstar was too an above average/semi-hit grosser . stop inflating the numbers & the verdicts.

    The stardom of both ranbir & imran is only limited to a specific demography & i bet either of the so called stars wud have ceased to exist in the pre mutliplex bloom era…specially imran who has his mamu to thank for all the attention & a major share of the successes he has got until now.

  • i think both are on the same level, ranbir has a slight edge over imran but they will continue the same level of roles, i think in bollywood history is repeating itself At first there was dilip kumar, dev anand and raj kapoor, Dilip known for powerhouse performance dev anand the hero of songs and raj kapoor being a film maker. these are the 3 khans srk replaces dilip, salman replaces dev, and aamir replaces raj. then came a superstar overnight rajesh khana i could say hrithik is a replacement one style of dancing and one style of acting. then imran, shahid, ranbir are like dharmendras and jitendras shammi kapoors and anil kapoor and plenty of maybe another amitabh yet to come.

  • Great help with BIG BANNERS and MAMOO AMIR to get good film,without them IMRAN IS A zero.The one who came first always get awarded.Expl:SRK is BETTER than others KHAN in acting and always get awarded.The same is for RANBIR than Imran.Very easy comparison,RANBIR is more AWARDED.

  • imran khan is far better than than ranveer imran last 3 movie super hit delhi belly mere brother ki dhulhan ek me or ek tu ranveer rockstat is hit but budget is 60 crore and collect 67 crore imran movie budget in 30 to 35 crore and collect up to 55 crore and imran is future king of box office like aamir khan

  • Ranbir.is.more.handsome,charming,stylish,cool,versatile.than.imran..and.also.have.more.fans.and.has.also.won.award.frm.rockstar…..did.imran.get.any?????but.imran.also.nyc.bt.his.fault.is.2.compare.himself.wid.ranbir

  • most of muslims r not secular so they will favour Imran Khan bcz they think he’s Muslim, but let me say dat Imran Khan Is ”HINDU” (father: Anil Pal) but his parents got divorced when he was around 2 years old, so he has been lived wid his mom n JUST REPLACED HIS SURNAME ‘PAL’ TO ‘KHAN’ HE HAS NOT CHANGED HIS RELIGION, HE’S HINDU HINDU HINDU HINDU HINDU HINDU HINDU

  • It iz ridiculous that imran khan like actors r givn chance 2 appear in movies..i thnk ranbir iz most talented actor even beter den SRK,salman.
