Vote: Is Ranbir Kapoor the next superstar?

Not since Hrithik Roshan’s debut exactly 9 years and 10 months ago has a newcomer managed to create the kind of buzz, that the industry, desperate for more bankable superstars, has been waiting for.

But with Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani recording mind boggling first weekend collections, the search has finally come to an end with Ranbir Kapoor.

Or has it? A few insiders believe its the “from the director of Andaaz Apna Apna” tag and Katrina Kaif’s presence that has done the trick and not Ranbir’s presence. And although Rocket Singh would benefit hugely from the super success of APKGK, the opening wouldn’t come close.

What do you think? Is Ranbir Kapoor a bankable star already? Is he the future of Bollywood?

  • com on INDICINE, with one or two hits we can’t call someone super star especially someone like Ranbir.super star need a lot of struggles and different kinds of role. We all know that Ranbir is belonging to Kapoor familly that’s way he can get some good films. We have millions of talented people in India but they don’t have any one in bollywood to give them chance. Please don’t make a fun of super star title

  • It Wont be right if we say that ranbir is enjoying his kapoor title.
    ofcourse he has the talent, but to be a super star he need few more movies.
    We have seen him in comic role..that he does brillantly. But we need to see some of his emotional roles as well.
    & I am sure the day he will do some emotional role and if it does well..He gonna touch everyone’s heart.
    Good Luck ranbir.

  • this chocolate hero is the superstar…….disguistin…..i accept he is hansum,smart,talented but this is rediculuos……..just given 2 semi-hit movie cannot make star in bollywood………hritik is the true superstar…..

    @indicine team:- well shahid has got a lots of hit no……..dont u think he deserves alot than this ranvir….

  • noppppppppppppp….this is very undigestable…..com on…..one film can never be a superstar…….

    beside he is popular these days(due to back to back release)…..he can never be tagged with superstar….it is bcoz stardom is the power ….with which they got the resposibility………..right now he is not mature for that……he needs to wait for next five year at least…….

    @indicine team:- dont compare the popularity with that of stardom

  • 100% he is.. this boy is very talented and got all the qualification and the way to stardom.. he did very well in his debute movie as well as the other 3 movies.. he’s for sure the next big big big star in bollywood, and follows him Neil Mukesh.

  • Well I think He has all the material to become a superstar of tomorrow but it will take some time. APKGK is a god movie but I think Katrina Kaif’s presence has also done a trick for these super collections in the first week. Ranbir is definitely making his way to the top league….I think Shahrukh and Amir will have to do more work if they want to maintain their positions in B-Town as one movie per year is not enough now as these guys like Ranbir, Shahid and Saif are doing more movies and they are really doing some quality work out there. If they keep on working like this, I think they can definitely affect Shahrukh’s and Amir’s images. So Be careful big guys……..These 3 are really dangerous. I am waiting for Kurbaan to release now as this movie is definitely going to rock the boxoffice i believe……..

  • Yes…he is but it early to judge …He has all the quality be a superstar!!!!!He is far better than Sahid kapoor,Abishek bachan,john and FOr me if i have to adjusted him in top 10

    1>Aamir khan
    2>SRK
    3>Akshay
    4>Salman
    5>Hrithik
    6>Ranbir kapoor(I can put him here because his last two movie Wake up sid n Ajab prem ki ghazab kahani was nice)
    7>Saif ali khan/Ajay devgan
    8>Sahid kapoor

    But He had played same old Lover boy role…He must try some other genre n prove himself more!!!!!2-3 movie cannot be judge but He Look promising nevertheless….If he can do good in few movies he can remain in top 6 for long time to come

  • Tawny n Beeky is just SRK n sahid supporter.Abt other they say very bad thing n always r negative!!!!!!!!!!!! Another One like them is Megha in this site!!!!!! There is big world except SRK

    One Latest news is tht:Akshay Kumar will be torch bearer from India for 2010 Olympics…….No Other Actor have done it before n this time Akshay kumar will make His country proud n his fan also!!!!keep rocking

  • well…..Mr. sudeep…this apkgk is popular and accepted by huge people is just becoz of its dir. and the actress katrina kaif….but in fact in our society ladies are always deminated……in terms of name, fame ….. as well as in terms of their fee…..

    an actress get upto 5 crore…whereas actor is about 5 times greater than that of actress……

    but trully…this is too soon for that…..
    sawaaria….flop
    bachna…….average
    wake up……above average….just like indicine has described in the preview of apkgk

  • Beeky:For kind information, WAKE UP SID is Semi hit!!!!!!!!!

    I agree tht it is too soon to judge but he have all potential to be a superstar in next 5-10 years

  • sudeep:
    why did u forget abt emraan hashmi ??? jannat , raaz and now tum mile he is also improving his self and according to astrilogist bhavvik’s prediction tum mile is hit.
    taran gave 3 stars and i m waiting from other sites .
    when u gonna watch it ?

  • What rubbish!!! Ranbir has acted in many big banners already and has one hit only. And that hit has a lot to do with the current lucky mascot Katrina Kaif and Pritam’s music!! As as far we are concerned, he is a xerox copy of Neetu Singh. Another thing is the strange trend to play up the success of some films at multiplexes. The media is also equally guilty of creating a false hype that multiplexes are all that matters today. This is a lie. The truth is that single screens continue to dominate theatrical businesses in India. No star can even dream of having a super hit or a blockbuster hit without grabbing the single screen space that is occupied by the aam janta.

  • All that attention….because he is a Kapoor. Many other talented actors are not given a choice at all and just end up acting in soapies. Not only does this apply to him….it applies to all other star children…. All of you will rule Bollywood now, in the future and until Bollywood exists. will anyone in Bollywood find a Frieda Pinto etc. i am TIRED of seeing Kareena, Abhishek….and all the other bollywood kids.

  • i agree completely with u sandy star children becoming actors is now a norm of this industry, irrespective of whether they hav the talent or not like tushar kapoor…..

  • he’s a kapoor.. so he’s a talented boy for sure! and kapoor are famous because they’re legend in bollywood.. associated bollywood, the big grandfather, then the grandfather, then the daughters & sons, the very talented and hard working Ranbir.. and in future some other new talented kids will exist for sure.. and they were all brought up, lived with their talents and good looking.. so the family “kapoor” were not some junior actors..they gained their name, their fame, because they “deserved” it, their kids followed the same steps too and won.

    If Amitab Bachan wasn’t an actor, didn’t take this profession then for sure Abhishek could never make it into bollywood.. never.. he’s following his dad’s steps and he’s growing bigger and will be a big superstar in future for sure.

    Feroz Khan wasn’t a great actor, didn’t even do good movies, so his son Fardeen could never be a good actor.. that’s the way it is in fact.

    Whoever will try to convince ppl that Ranbir isn’t a good actor and he’s getting a chance in bollywood only because he’s a (kapoor) so beleive me ppl.. we’re not blind.. we watched him on screen and watched also other actors ( who’re not kapoor) and we know the difference in their acting.. and how much Ranbir is talented among all those newcomers!

  • no way he will become superstar,,and btw abhishek is no star either he is the most ugly looking guy in the industry thankfully he has realised his potential behind the camera and has turned producer and shortly like wife will disaapear from on screen

  • If Raj Kapoor was living, would he have been happy with Kareena’s role in Kurbaan. Her scenes with Saif….should remain in the bedroom….not in a hindi movie.

  • THIS IS INDEED OVER-RATED…NO DOUBT.OFCOURSE HE IS A RISING STAR AND GOT TALENT…BUT HE IS JUST A KID PUZZLED IN FRONT OF AN OCEAN…LONG LONG WAY TO GO…WHERE SRK,AAMIR AKSHAY HAD ALREADY BEEN DEEP SEA DIVERS….HE HAS TO PROVE A LOT WITH VARYING RANGE OF DIFF ROLES AND NEVER PPL YOU APPRAISE THIS KID IN THE BEGINNING ITSELF…LET HIM MAKE A GOOD MOVIE OUT OF A POOR SCRIPT…THEN ONLY HIS SELF POTENTIAL OF A GREAT STAR CAN BE APPRECIATED…UPTO THAT TIME..JUST SHUT UP..

  • @SAIFA
    Have u ever watched any of Raj Kapoor’s movies? ‘Satyam Sivam Sundaram’ or even ‘Ram Teri Ganga Maili’?
    the way he used to strip actresses and show them in movies, he would have been the proudest grandpa if ever he got watch Kareena in Kurbaan :D

  • Is too early, yes he has the potential to be a superstar but to became a superstar is a long journey. I pray 4 him 2 became a superstar. He is my guy i like him, but i am still afraid when ever i think about vivek oberoi in 2002 his sathiya and company gave him much award, popularity, assignment and many fans but now where is he?

  • Fullermat: yeah.. that’s what I was going to say too.. but.. what the director would ask an actress to do in his movies and she agrees to do it.. it’s just for money.. getting paid high so they take off their clothes, but his daughters and granddaughters aren’t in a need of money.. they just need to be famous and need recognistion, that’s all.. and if an actress would agree to showup naked for the sake of money, so that doesn’t mean that any man would allow his family to do the same.. if Raj Kapoor was alive he’d never hv allowed his granddaughters to do the same.. he’d have killed them.

    Usman Solo: in just a short period of time Ranbir will be a superstar.. in only 2 or 3 years.. that’s all what he needs.. other superstars took them 5 or 6 years or more to be one.. but with Ranbir.. no.. he doesn’t need this much of time.. he’s a brilliant actor.. he’ll not be only a superstar in bollywood.. but he’ll step into hollywood too.

  • TOGET INTO BOLLYWOOD SUPERSTARDOM OR ATLEASTTO DREAM ABOUT HOLLYWOOD,AN ACTOR SHOUD HAVEA GOOD PHYSIQUE…..OTHERWISE ANYPOPPAD CN BECOME A STAR…THE THINNEST OF ALL ACTORS IN INDIA IS RANBIR….AND YES,YES YES…PHYSIQUE REALLY MATTERSA LOT IN MOVIES…SO FIRST GO TELL THIS RANBIR TO EAT PROPERLY ANDHAVE AN AVERAGE MASS…OTHERWISE HEILL REMAIN JUST C HOCOLATE GOODFOR NOTHUNG ELSE…WAITING FOR GOOD SCRIPTS….I REPEAT UNLESS HE ACTS I POOR SCRIPTS AND DELIVER AHIT RANBIR IS NOWHERENEAR SRK,AAMIR OR AKSHAY.

  • IF YOU REMEMBER SAAWARIYA,IT WAS A POOR SCRIPT AND RANBIR’S DEBUT MOVIE.IT BECAME A DISASTER AND THATS WHAT I SAID ,….IF HE IS A GREAT STAR..LET HIM ACCEPT POOR SCRIPTS,POOR BANNERS,POOR DIRECTORS,AND CHEAP MUSIC.SRK,AAMIR AND AKSHAY BECAME LEGENDS BCOS,THEY HAV PRODUCED BLOCKBUSTERS OUT OF POOR INPUTS IN THE PAST. WAKE UP SID AND AJAB PREM HAD GOOD SOLID SCRIPTS FROM BIG BANNERS AND SUPPORTED BY FABULOUS MUSIC…AM I RIGHT? LET RANBIR PRODUCE A HIT OUT OF ANOTHER SAAWARIYA LIKE…THEN WE CAN SALUTE HIM IN FUTURE…OTHERWISE LET THIS KID GROW UP AND LEARN FROM SENIORS…..WAIT,WAIT AND WAIT.!!!!

  • Praveen: firstly.. Ranbir isn’t skinny.. he’s not thin!!!!! did u see him in the song (Jabse tere nena)? He looked so sexy, hot.. he’s tall and got a very good physique.. what Praveen?! do u love huge big fat fellow like some boxers?!!

    Secondly.. if for you ( and for million ppl in india) a movie like Saawariya was bad or a poor script.. then what’s the good script for you hah?!!! I read in many websites online, when the movie was released, that the storyline is weak! now if u said that the storyline in the movie “Blue” was weak so that’s right.. but Saawariya.. it was a love story from one side.. it was about a girl who was waiting for her lover who didn’t promise her any thing but to come back after a year.. so she couldn’t betray him or think of her future although she found a good young man who was madly in love with her which was Ranbir loving her, dreaming of a girl and thought that she’s in love with him too and he was dissapointed in the end… what else do ppl want from some love stories?!! Does it has to be the way bollywood always used to make.. 2 ppl in love, and family rejection, then running away, lablah.
    And.. Saawariya’s beauty wasn’t in the story.. Saawariya’s beauty was in the “art” of the movie.. the blue and green shade with the special effects.. it was like a painting, and ppl who love paintaing would enjoy watching some beautiful portraits.. but ppl who don’t hv sense of art, know nothing in art.. so.. what do we expect?! do we expect a carpenter, a businessman, a cook, or some struggling ppl, materialistic ppl would enjoy a movie like Saawariya?! Or do we expect that some ppl who want to see only some funny movies, comedy and nothing else would enjoy a movie like Saawariya?! This is made for a few number of ppl in this world.. there4 it didn’t win at the box office.. but it was a great movie with great songs.. even my brother who’s the managing director of bahrain cinemas told me the same.. he saw all Ranbir Kapoor’s movies and he liked him.. and found Saawariya the best he did.. not only some romantic movies which don’t win at the box office but some serious movies too e.g. Jail.. it’s not doing well in yr country.. but do u think that the movie is bad or with a poor script?!! it’s because not a funny or entertaining movie.. not the colour which they like so.. it’ll flop for sure.

    Saawariya was a great direction, a great cinematography with a good performance by Ranbir and Sonam, with beautiful touching songs.. it was a unique extra-ordinary movie.. and I saw it 3 times in cinema..

    And.. Saawariya wasn’t a disaster movie at the box office!! and why u say “cheap” music!!!!!!!! if Saawariya’s music was (cheap) for someone like you.. then what was “great” music?!!!! the song Golmaal.. Golmaal?!!!!!!!!!!!

    And.. which way r u thinking? by saying: let him accept poor script, poor banner, etc!! are u crazy or what?!! Now you already said that Saawariya was a poor script, didn’t you?!!! are you confused or what?!!
