Across 15 years, Ranveer Singh has delivered some of the most unforgettable performances in the industry. He dives into every role with complete transformation — physically, emotionally, and spiritually — proving why he stands tall as this generation’s finest actor. As Dhurandhar wins hearts, and he completes 15 years in the industry, we revisit the iconic characters that shaped his extraordinary journey.

10 Iconic Ranveer Singh Characters

Bittoo Sharma — Band Baaja Baaraat

Ranveer Singh’s debut was a breath of fresh, fearless energy. As Bittoo, he portrayed a middle-class Delhi boy chasing dreams with swagger and emotional honesty. His chemistry, youthfulness, and raw talent made audiences instantly root for him. It set the tone: this wasn’t just a newcomer — this was a game-changer.

Ram — Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram Leela

Complex, fiery, romantic — Ram showcased Ranveer’s magnetic star presence. He balanced passion with pain, humor with heartbreak. The film established him as a blockbuster force, and his chemistry with Deepika Padukone became a cultural moment in itself.

Varun Srivastava — Lootera

A role built on quiet pain. Ranveer Singh’s nuanced performance — expressive eyes, controlled emotions, soft vulnerability — showed his range long before he was labeled a superstar. It remains one of his most artistic and emotionally moving characters.

Peshwa Bajirao — Bajirao Mastani

A role that demanded intensity and vulnerability in equal measure. Ranveer mastered Marathi diction, underwent major physical transformation, and showcased the conflicted heart of a warrior torn between duty and love. His portrayal was majestic and layered, cementing him as a performer capable of greatness.

Kabir Mehta – Dil Dhadakne Do

While not as physically transforming as the rest on the list, Ranveer Singh as Kabir Mehta beautifully brought to life a rich Delhi boy who is always has his sister’s back but is also trying his best to make a name for himself while also finding love. He was relatable without being over the top or caricatured.

Alauddin Khilji — Padmaavat

Unhinged. Ferocious. Mesmerizing. Ranveer redefined villainy with terrifying brilliance — not caricature, but an emotionally complex monster. His physicality, dark humor, and intensity made Khilji a cinematic phenomenon and a turning point in his career.

Simmba — Simmba

A full-blown entertainer. Ranveer Singh balanced comedy, swagger, vulnerability, and mass-hero charisma while driving home a story about justice. His transformation from a corrupt cop to a protector was delivered with emotional conviction wrapped in pure fun.

Murad Ahmed — Gully Boy

With Murad, Ranveer delivered a performance rooted in silence, eyes, and poetry. He didn’t just act — he felt the journey of an underdog. He rapped, wrote, and lived the character, showcasing hunger, love, frustration, dreams — making Murad one of the most emotionally impactful roles of the decade.

Rocky Randhawa — Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani

Bold, glamorous, lovable — Rocky allowed Ranveer Singh to explore masculinity through a fresh lens. Beneath flashy fashion and humour, he delivered deep emotional truth. Rocky’s journey made audiences laugh, cry, and cheer — and proved Ranveer’s unmatched command over performance and presence.

Hamza Ali Mazari/Jaskirat Singh Rangi— Dhurandhar

A masterclass in subtle strength. He doesn’t rely on loudness — his power lies in silence, restraint, and the emotions simmering beneath the surface. Ranveer’s eyes alone speak a story of struggle, fury, and survival. Dhurandhar marks a new chapter where his craft feels even more mature, controlled, and deeply impactful.

Ranveer, please continue to impress us with more such performances for many decades.
