Happy Birthday Ranbir Kapoor: From Wake Up Sid to Sanju, films that shaped his career

From personifying a deaf-mute lover to essaying the life of Sanjay Dutt, from a lover boy to a man ruined in love, from portraying a singer’s rise to fame to playing a character suffocating under the burdens of society, Ranbir Kapoor has time and again given us all goosebumps with his prowess on the big screen. While the actor began his career as an assistant director with the 1999 film Aa Ab Laut Chalen and the 2005 movie Black, Ranbir came in front of the camera with Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s 2007 film Saawariya. Since then, the actor has never looked back. Ranbir, who is not afraid to take risks, comes from a family of great performers and honestly, in his last 15 years in the industry, the actor has truly managed to maintain the family tradition. Therefore on the occasion of his 40th birthday let’s take a look at some of the best movies, which shaped his career:

Wake Up Sid

Even after portraying an arrogant rich brat, this 2009 film showcased Ranbir’s sensitive side, while he finds his own feet and deals with adulting.

Barfi!

Anurag Basu’s directorial is one of the most wholesome and warm movies that Ranbir has ever been part of. Despite allegations of plagiarism, the 2012 film continues to shine and that is only because of its leading man. Playing a deaf-mute man, Ranbir honestly made _Barfi_ an extraordinary movie.

Tamasha

Yet again Imtiaz Ali sent the audience into a frenzy by collaborating with Ranbir. Gaining cult status over the years, _Tamasha_ is considered to be a fine piece of work by the fans of the actor and director duo.

Sanju
