ROCKSTAR

Jordan is studying at University of Delhi and dreams of being a rockstar like Jim Morrison, for which he is often laughed at by his friends. He gets a rather silly advice to get his heart broken in order to become a great artiste. Because, all great artistes have stemmed from a life-altering heartbreak. Jordan decides to follow this advice. He decides to fall in love so he can get his heart broken. Jordan becomes a successful artist but no amount of success fixes his pain of heartbreak.
BARFI
This has to be Ranbir’s most wholesome performance of all time. When Barfi was released everyone adored Ranbir’s portrayal of Barfi. Barfi was an optimistic, street-wise, charming young man who was born deaf and mute to a Nepali couple in Darjeeling. Barfi was big a troublemaker. He would cut lampposts, play practical jokes on innocent people, and would get chased by a local police officer. Barfi was an endearing character to watch. It was very easy to get emotionally attached to him while watching the fim. When Barfi was happy, you would get happy for him. When Barfi was sad, you would feel sad for him. That was true success for Ranbir’s part. It is easily one of the best Ranbir Kapoor Movies of all time.

He further revealed the similarities and differences between Dutt and Kapoor stating that “they have lived the life of actors all through. Ranbir is not someone from outside the industry who came here to be a hero. In a sense, it was easier for me to see him as Sanju”. He also revealed that Ranbir Kapoor worked very hard to get the correct physicality, spending days watching videos “to strike the right balance.”

Tamasha tells the story of character Ved Vardhan Sahni (played by Ranbir Kapoor) in three stages–as a 9-year-old child, a 19-year-old adolescent and a 30-year-old adult in a drama-based non-linear screenplay.
Ali stated that he wanted to create “different tone” for the film and thus made Ranbir Kapoor look attractive in Corsica and ordinary in Delhi. Ali described the characters of Ved and Tara (female lead played by Deepika Padukone) as “storyteller” and “emotionally agile” respectively. He called these characters as the closest to him. When the characters meet for the first time in the film, they decide not to disclose their identities. The film paid homage to actor Dev Anand through this act.
