Ranbir Kapoor has managed to create a distinct identity for himself. There is a discernible pattern in his choice of roles.바카라 웹사이트
Few of his contemporaries like Ranveer Singh or Shahid Kapoor can say that for바카라 웹사이트themselves.바카라 웹사이트
It is suggestive of the clear currency around Amitabh Bachchan in the 70s and 80s, as the ‘angry young man’.
Is he channelling the Kapoors with his various avatars? Is he the young Shammi Kapoor, the mischievous playboy?바카라 웹사이트
Is he playing out Raj Kapoor, the tragic hero? His characters tend to have an air of sadness about them.
What unarticulated meaning is his trajectory of work fleshed out upon? (Susmita Dasgupta라이브 바카라 work on Amitabh Bachchan, The making of a superstar, mentions this notion of a core idea of the actor. Each signature movie (not every) is a progression along a continuum. Each role is a confirmation of this core value).바카라 웹사이트
What, then, is the idea of Ranbir Kapoor?
Ranbir is not a struggler in the classic sense; in many of his films,바카라 웹사이트he is a rich lad. His character inhabits palatial houses and travels first class. In comparison, Amitabh라이브 바카라 angry young man was on the margins of society and had to fight for personal and social justice. He was representing the masses who were wondering what happened to the post-independence dream.
Ranbir in comparison is the reflective young man. His journey is not an outward journey like Amitabh, seeking social mobility (Mere paas bangla hai), but his journey is an inward one.바카라 웹사이트
He has everything but he needs to journey inward into himself, to answer questions about his life. In what we can call his signature films, the plot propels him towards a moment of realization; where he perceives the true nature of things and this sets him free.바카라 웹사이트
In Rockstar, he realizes the meaninglessness of fame after hankering for it; in Tamasha he finally answers his calling to pursue theatre instead of a corporate job that pleases his father, in Bachna Ae Haseeno, he realizes the folly of his ‘playboy-ness’ and undergoes acts of contrition towards his multiple ex-girlfriends to finally be at peace; in Ae Dil Hae Mushkil, he wanders with his feelings of hurt and rejection only to be finally enlightened to the idea of true love.

The key to Ranbir Kapoor lies in awakening.바카라 웹사이트
We can playfully stretch the title of another movie of his to decode the star; “Wake up Siddhartha”. Ranbir라이브 바카라 core value is ‘the tortured prince seeking an answer’. 바카라 웹사이트
He is the mythic reincarnation of the Prince of Kapilavastu, Siddhartha; who disillusioned with the worldly nature of life, realised that true salvation lay in detachment and became Buddha, the enlightened one.
Ranbir라이브 바카라 ‘seeker’ characters are all born into a life of carefree pleasure but inexorably reach a point of realization, to look beyond ‘what is’ and find true awakening.바카라 웹사이트
Ranbir is perhaps a role model for today라이브 바카라 Gen Z and Millennials who are born in a culture of abundance but need to see through its absurdity and do something consequential.
바카라 웹사이트
Maybe Ranbir라이브 바카라 choice of work is affected by his childhood. Witnessing his parent라이브 바카라 domestic squabbles, (something he admits impacted him deeply) maybe he pondered over the futility of fame.바카라 웹사이트
All this makes Ranbir Kapoor, not just an actor, acting out a role but a reflective artist seeking to address a psychological wound.바카라 웹사이트
We will never know. But for now, this is one interpretation on offer.바카라 웹사이트
