Alauddin Khilji — Padmaavat
Unhinged. Ferocious. Mesmerizing. Ranveer redefined villainy with terrifying brilliance — not caricature, but an emotionally complex monster. His physicality, dark humor, and intensity made Khilji a cinematic phenomenon and a turning point in his career.

Varun Srivastava — Lootera
A role built on quiet pain. Ranveer’s nuanced performance — expressive eyes, controlled emotions, soft vulnerability — showed his range long before he was labeled a superstar. It remains one of his most artistic and emotionally moving characters.
A role that demanded intensity and vulnerability in equal measure. Ranveer mastered Marathi diction, underwent major physical transformation, and showcased the conflicted heart of a warrior torn between duty and love. His portrayal was majestic and layered, cementing him as a performer capable of greatness.

Hamza Ali Mazari/ Jaskirat Singh Rangi— Dhurandhar
A masterclass in subtle strength. He doesn’t rely on loudness — his power lies in silence, restraint, and the emotions simmering beneath the surface. Ranveer’s eyes alone speak a story of struggle, fury, and survival. Dhurandhar marks a new chapter where his craft feels even more mature, controlled, and deeply impactful.
69
Murad Ahmed — Gully Boy
With Murad, Ranveer delivered a performance rooted in silence, eyes, and poetry. He didn’t just act — he felt the journey of an underdog. He rapped, wrote, and lived the character, showcasing hunger, love, frustration, dreams — making Murad one of the most emotionally impactful roles of the decade.
79
Rocky Randhawa — Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani
Bold, glamorous, lovable — Rocky allowed Ranveer to explore masculinity through a fresh lens. Beneath flashy fashion and humour, he delivered deep emotional truth. Rocky’s journey made audiences laugh, cry, and cheer — and proved Ranveer’s unmatched command over performance and presence.
89
Simmba — Simmba
A full-blown entertainer. Ranveer balanced comedy, swagger, vulnerability, and mass-hero charisma while driving home a story about justice. His transformation from a corrupt cop to a protector was delivered with emotional conviction wrapped in pure fun.
99
Ram — Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram Leela
Complex, fiery, romantic — Ram showcased Ranveer’s magnetic star presence. He balanced passion with pain, humour with heartbreak. The film established him as a blockbuster force, and his chemistry with Deepika Padukone became a cultural moment in itself
