Summary- Don’t forget to check out these top 5 movies of Ranbir Kapoor packed with romance, drama, and of course comedy. These are the movies where we see his top acting skills on the screen.
Every few years, Bollywood introduces a new face—fresh, eager, often groomed to be the next big thing. But very few of them become something more than just a name. One of the big names is Ranbir Kapoor, who has proved himself time and again that he is indeed an adaptable actor in Bollywood. He has acted in various rom-com movies and other genres as well. Now, in today’s era, his name is on the lips of most of the youth. Here in this list, we will be discussing some of his best roles and movies you definitely shouldn’t miss.
5. Wake Up Sid
If you were in your twenties when this film came out, there’s a good chance you saw yourself in Sid. Lazy, privileged, lost—but not beyond hope. Ranbir brought such gentle realism to the role that it didn’t feel like acting. It felt like someone figuring life out in real time. The film doesn’t rely on dramatic turns or big twists. The story is soft and takes the viewers on a journey of self discovery. As he learns from the people around him and matures the story takes a beautiful turn. There is a subtle moral behind this film, and a message for the youngsters of the country. The director has beautifully merged the theme of growing up and maturing.
4. Tamasha
Not everyone loved Tamasha. It made people uncomfortable, even confused. That’s probably why it mattered. Ranbir’s Ved is torn between societal programming and his real self, a conflict so many face but few confront. His character goes through a lot of things, which include him breaking down, rebelling, and rebuilding. The realistic portrayal of situations and mental confusion that many youth go through made the movie a cult classic. Audiences were impressed mostly because of how Ranbir Kapoor played the role in such an organic way. In the generation where corporate plays a big role, through this movie, the unspoken reality was shown. When it comes to family, too, a career can mean more like a chore than one’s passion.
3. Sanju
Ranbir Kapoor didn’t merely copy Sanjay Dutt, but he bore the emotional burden of a man misunderstood, judged, and lost in his legend. The change was physical, yes. But what truly impressed was the way Ranbir portrayed the quieter scenes of guilt, sorrow, and vulnerability. Every section of Sanjay Dutt’s life was brought to the screen with such clarity by the acting that the audience still can’t distinguish that he was just playing a character. The carefree Sanju and the serious Sanju, all combined, make the movie one of the blockbusters to date.
2. Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani
Who doesn’t know the character of Bunny in this age. To speak of his character’s characteristics, success means everything to him, though it means leaving behind things or people who truly matter. The plot of the film is mainly about how his character realises the meaning of true connections. Life may bring you a lot of sides where success, career, and being on top of all mean everything. But most times we don’t have to run; we can just sit in one place and see the sunset. This movie really did bring back his old charm, the charisma audience saw after his debut.

1. Ajab Prem Ki Gazab Kahani
This film put him in a very different character than the regular ones we know of. His character, Prem, is that of a nonchalant young boy who doesn’t take life very seriously. Until he meets Jenny, a typical Christian girl who has a difficult past to explore. Later in the movie, Prem falls in love with Jenny and is eager to tell her about his feelings. The story takes a turn when Jenny reveals that she is in love with somebody else, even before Prem confesses. The story then takes a turn where he is helping her get married to the love of her life.
