The problem with Ranbirs Movies
Shared a song below , from "yeh jawaani deewani"..These are the kind of movies and songs Ranbir Kapoor needs to do... I have not seen Jagga Jasoos, and have to admit don't have the courage and time to sit through the supposed confusion and ordeal, that many of my movie going brethren have expressed about the movie
We have to hand it to Ranbir for being bold and gutsy to keep pushing the envelope and challenging the "safety net" that has been defined over ages for a "Star actor"....Ranbir has been challenging and thrashing this stereotype for the longest known time and his choice of roles, scripts and directors have been really courageous.....Playing Rocket Singh at the start of the career needs lot of balls...
However Ranbir Kapoor needs to realise that legacies take ages to go....Unfortunately for Ranbir the legacy is writ large over his face, his Destiny....He has "Superstar: written all over him....So When ever audiences, moviemakers, producers want to be part of a Ranbir Kapoor movie, the legacy already makes them believe that its a superstar movie....And Superstar movies need to have the element of Masala, song and dance..
Look at the biggest Hit of his career ; Jawani deewani....He danced like a God whether with Madhuri or the song shared here, There as great foot tapping music in the movie and of course he played his part well...which was fun and serious at the Same time without getting too poignant
The problem has been that Kapoor has been playing the poignant, melancholic, sad and constantly frustrated from inner struggle character , too often...No problem in that if you happen to be a smaller star/ actor ....But When you are an A lister bollywood Super star, who charges a hefty remuneration, then the economics involved are big scale stuff...
I am sure had some other actor played those roles, the movies would have had better outcomes economically.....
And let's face it, Ranbir Kapoor looks great when he dances, has great songs, swoons women of their feet using his "raw innocence, maturity, and irresistible charm"...I haven't even seen him doing proper action movies inspite of having a great bod....
Kapoor Sahaab....Wake up and smell the coffee .......You are a big commercial star, who needs to play by the rules at times.....Else the economics won't work out..I am sure you wouldn't want to work in Movies that have a total budget of 3 cr...that wouldn't even cover 10 days of your shooting cost......Get real....Use your strengths, you dance like a God , you can emote like no bodys business, kick some ass in Movies, swoon and charm women, win them with your brooding eyes, and make some money for the poor filmmakers
Keep experimenting as well but playing a melancholic , confused in life, always internal struggling character can't be the solution to experimentation....The world needs Super heroes who can manage their life, the country and the world....Weak characters who are taking too long to figure out their issue in life, don't inspire movie watchers for long........
I need a mature and powerful Hero.....not a confused nannysitter who keeps crying in the arms of the lover who kicked his bum long back.....
