Of course, I was curious to see what <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pop-culture\/eight-years-on-checking-on-the-3-idiots\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rajkumar Hirani<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> would make of his source material \u2013 Sanjay Dutt\u2019s fascinating and chequered life \u2013 but the reason I\u2019d turned up was <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pop-culture\/ranbir-kapoor-birthday-actor-bollywood\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ranbir Kapoor<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Almost two years ago, when the first teaser of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/humour\/sairat-remake-karan-johar-jhanvi-kapoor-ishan-khattar-bollywood\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Karan Johar\u2019s<\/span><\/a> <i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ae Dil Hai Mushkil <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">released, it started on a very un-Dharma note: a close-up of its lead mouthing lyrics and staring into the camera. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Insipid \u2013 except when the lead is Ranbir Kapoor and his achingly expressive face. Kapoor looks at the camera and gives it one of his trademark vacant stares, his brown eyes brimming with hurt, his face in a mask of steely determination that refuses to allow any loss to overpower his <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/love-and-sex\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">love<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When I watched the teaser for the first time, Kapoor\u2019s ability to command a viewer\u2019s attention with a mundane shot of him just <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pop-culture\/jagga-jasoos-ranbir-kapoor-singing-manhood-coming-of-age-bollywood\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">lip-syncing<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to the film\u2019s title track impressed me. But months later when I watched the film, I came out affected by his magnetism. The exact effect that unfailingly accompanies every Ranbir Kapoor outing in recent times. <\/span>\n<blockquote class=\"quote--center\">Ranbir Kapoor doesn\u2019t just play fictional characters, he recreates them down to the very last detail<\/blockquote>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s why even his repetitive lost-boy-who-needs-to-be-woken-up feels invigorating every time. Think about it, his manchild act in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wake Up Sid<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is starkly distinct from his Bunny in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/bollywood\/more-fathers-like-bunnys-dad-from-yeh-jawaani-hai-deewani-please\/\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or even Janardhan from <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rockstar.<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Because it always comes on the back of another trademark Kapoor trait: physical acting that rarely hits a false note. Kapoor doesn\u2019t just act or deliver lines. He disseminates the psyche of his characters with every part of his body. Every Kapoor twitch, raised eyebrow, hand movement, or the extent of a smile isn\u2019t incidental. It is intended.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=vUCM_0evdQY\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">title track of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ae Dil Hai Mushkil<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> lasts a mere three minutes, but you witness every imaginable response to love: gratitude, anger, obsessiveness, affection, crushing loss. For me, the lasting image of the song is a beautiful improvisation where Kapoor acts out the line, \u201cTu mera khuda, tu hi duaa mein shaamil\u201d. The actor looks up at the sky, his eyes dart across as if he\u2019s directly addressing his invisible muse, moulds his face into a half-smile, and tops it off with a slight raise of the eyebrow. It perfectly captures the feeling the whole film falters to evoke.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s this captivating ability to infuse every burst of tantrum (<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tamasha<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">), restlessness (<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wake Up Sid<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">), an act as unremarkable as tucking in a turban (<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">), convenient escapism (<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">YJHD<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">), easy tears and feminine gait (Channa Mereya in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ADHM<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">), and boyish wonder (<em>Barfi!<\/em>and<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pop-culture\/jagga-jasoos-review-ranbir-kapoor-katrina-kaif-anurag-basu-disney\/\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jagga Jasoos<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) with an avalanche of emotions that makes the actor stand out. It\u2019s also why even his staunchest fans don\u2019t have favourite Ranbir Kapoor dialogues \u2013 they have favourite Kapoor moments. He gifts his audience the luxury of decoding the emotions playing out on his face. But, most importantly, he laces these emotions with enough history.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kapoor doesn\u2019t just play fictional characters, he recreates them down to the very last detail. In a sea of Ranveers and Sushants and Siddharths and Varuns, Ranbir is Ranbir. Even if he hasn\u2019t had a proper hit in years. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We rarely realise that the actor does films that are harder than they look. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/bollywood\/sanju-review-ranbir-kapooir-sanjay-dutt-rajkumar-hirani\/\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sanju<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for instance, to which Kapoor has given almost two years of his life. Irrespective of where you stand on the film\u2019s whitewashing tactics, Kapoor elevates the biopic to arresting cinema. <\/span>\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/13.201.39.237\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/1530359627.jpg\" alt=\"Ranbir Kapoor\" width=\"630\" height=\"364\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-36291\" \/>\n<figcaption>\n<p>Ranbir Kapoor is a scene-stealer in Rajkumar Hirani&#8217;s <em>Sanju<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Image Credit: Vidhu Vinod Chopra Films<\/p>\n<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=x1hqC4z4IC8\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">interview before the film\u2019s release<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Kapoor had revealed that the reason he didn\u2019t want his Dutt rendition to be all-out mimicry, was because he wanted the audience to be acutely aware that it was him playing the star and not the other way around. One week later, he doesn\u2019t just live up to his claim, but also exceeds it. For <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sanju<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is where Kapoor\u2019s physical acting hits its peak.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The fact that Kapoor excels at essaying the various facets of the \u201990s superstar for a span of 30 years makes it evident that he\u2019s soaked himself into the aura of his muse. The actor gets his gait, hand movements, careless walk, hunched shoulders, and even his voice down pat. Yet, it\u2019s not his flawless recreation that gets your attention, but his immersive depiction. Whether he\u2019s breaking down in front of his father begging him to save him or facing withdrawals and resisting medication during his <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/series\/first-person\/chasing-blue-skies-my-stint-in-rehab\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rehab stint<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the film, the actor employs a unique mish-mash of his two strengths: He uses the mastery over his physicality to paint an evocative picture of Dutt\u2019s mind. He brings out the troubled star\u2019s confusion, his vulnerability, his naivety, his irresponsibility, his guilt, and also his affection. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s what made Imitiaz Ali\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pop-culture\/tamasha-two-years-imtiaz-ali-deepika-padukone-ranbir-kapoor-movie-bollywood-cinema-india\/\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tamasha <\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">garner the underground cult appeal that it has today. In the film, the actor tapped into something very innate to compellingly articulate the dichotomy of a man afflicted with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/social-commentary\/depression-middle-class-diagnosis\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">bipolar tendencies<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. He allows the audience to almost witness the debate going on in his mind when he knocks outside Tara\u2019s (Deepika Padukone) door after she rejects his proposal. His Ved doesn\u2019t just tell you that he doesn\u2019t want to be a cliche; the kind of man who can\u2019t digest rejection, but shows it. The fact that Ved lashes out isn\u2019t important. Instead the spotlight is on how Kapoor choreographs that moment.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just like his previous films, even <em>Sanju<\/em><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> proves that Kapoor is one of those rare actors who guarantees that every movement of his tells a story, even if the screenplay has missed it. For that alone, it\u2019s impossible to not be a Ranbir Kapoor admirer, even if you\u2019re not a fan.<\/span>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In Sanju, Ranbir Kapoor hits the peak of his physical acting.
