Winsome roles of Ranveer Singh that only he could have pulled off

Bajirao in ‘Bajirao Mastani’ (2015)

The same year that Ranveer played a rich brat, he also played the role of a warrior. ‘Bajirao Mastani’ was a very crucial film for Ranveer because he was essaying the role of a very famous warrior for the first time in his career. And it was indeed a challenging role considering he had to pick the Marathi dialect and get the nuances of a warrior in his body language. If you haven’t seen the movie as yet, let us tell you that Ranveer made for a picture-perfect Bajirao and you cannot imagine anybody else as Bajirao when you see his performance. Ranveer sweeped every possible award for his performance and today he has become one of the biggest actors in our industry. We all know that it is just going to get better with each and every film that he does and we wish him all the very best.

Kabir Mehra in ‘Dil Dhadakne Do’ (2015)

Ranveer essayed the role of Kabir Mehra in this movie directed by Zoya Akhtar. He was seen as the son of a rich businessman who is forced into family business against his desire to become a pilot. The movie had an ensemble cast comprising of actors like Anil Kapoor, Shefali Shah, Priyanka Chopra, Farhan Akhtar, Anushka Sharma and Rahul Bose. But in spite of such a talented star cast, Ranveer managed to hold his own. After essaying the role of an intense lover in ‘Ram Leela’, this was a welcome change and Ranveer as a rich brat was truly the surprise package. This role was unlike any of his roles done before and he just unveiled his multi-faceted streak.

Bikram Bose in ‘Gunday’ (2014)

Although this film tanked at the box office, Ranveer would definitely win hands down for being the hottest gunda ever. His acting skills, his attitude and his hot bod surely kept his fans drooling.

Ram in ‘Goliyon Ki Raas Leela – Ram Leela’ (2013)

The film is an adaptation of Shakespeare’s ‘Romeo and Juliet’ set in violent times. This epic love saga was enacted by Ranveer and Deepika with pure conviction that you actually feel the love and the pain that the characters Ram and Leela go through. Ranveer Singh as Ram was purely enigmatic. Every girl just dreamt of a man like Ram, who was not just a die-hard romantic, but someone who had the audacity to love a woman who belonged to a rival family. It’s a known fact that Sanjay Leela Bhansali is notorious for churning out the best out of his actors and with Ranveer as Ram, it just got easier, because this Ram could not only act but also dance well. This movie brought him to the top league of actors.

Varun Shrivastav in ‘Lootera’ (2013)

This movie was an underrated classic but Ranveer Singh and Sonakshi Sinha were applauded for their intense performances. Never has Ranveer Singh been so subtle, yet so effective and charming. It was a slightly edgy romance that not many people could resonate with, but Ranveer who has the persona of a lively and energetic performer was subtle and effectively silent in the movie, that won him appraise. It showed his range of versatility as an actor.

Bittoo in ‘Band Baaja Baraat’ (2010)

It would be silly to not start out with his very first film. Yes, Ranveer’s debut film ‘Band Baaja Baraat’ was a super-hit and it wouldn’t have been the same if Ranveer wasn’t ‘Bittoo’. Ranveer owned his debut performance smoothly. Bittoo was endearing and made us fall in love with his sweetness. This performance not only earned him a Filmfare, but industry people realized that this man is a force to reckon with. He wasn’t considered the conventional good-looking hero, but he won hearts with his debut performance.
