1. Gunday (Prime Video)
Gunday takes the audience back to the 1971–1988 era. Set in Calcutta, the movie follows two best pals and goons who become rivals after falling for the same cabaret dancer ZAWYA. Director Ali Abbas Zafar’s period action-romance showcases Ranveer alongside Arjun Kapoor in a bromance-turned-rivalry that defined masala entertainment.
The film captures the grit and glamour of Calcutta’s underworld, with Ranveer’s high-energy performance complementing Priyanka Chopra Jonas’s sizzling cabaret sequences. While critics gave mixed reviews, the film remains a guilty pleasure for fans of vintage Bollywood action dramas. Ranveer’s swag and vintage styling created several iconic moments, proving his ability to own period settings.
Why Watch: If you loved Dhurandhar’s gritty criminal underworld, Gunday offers similar testosterone-fueled action with 1980s nostalgia and infectious energy.
2. Lootera (Netflix, ZEE5)
Lootera narrates the story of an attractive conman posing as an archaeologist who makes the daughter of a Bengali zamindar fall for him. Set in the 1950s, the film marks director Vikramaditya Motwane’s second commercial venture after Udaan ZAWYA. This critically acclaimed gem showcases Ranveer’s dramatic depth rarely seen in commercial cinema.
Inspired by O. Henry’s short story “The Last Leaf,” Lootera features breathtaking cinematography, haunting music by Amit Trivedi, and restrained performances. Ranveer plays Varun Shrivastav, a sophisticated thief who infiltrates aristocratic families. The film’s melancholic tone and slow-burn romance contrast sharply with Ranveer’s typical high-octane roles.
Why Watch: For those who appreciate Ranveer beyond the loud personas, Lootera demonstrates his ability to convey emotion through subtlety and silence—a masterclass in understated acting.
3. Ladies vs Ricky Bahl (Prime Video)
Inspired by the 2006 American film John Tucker Must Die, Ladies vs Ricky Bahl showcases how a group of women come together to seek revenge from a con artist who broke their hearts by faking his identity ZAWYA. Directed by Maneesh Sharma, this romantic comedy marked Ranveer’s second Yash Raj Films outing after his debut Band Baaja Baaraat.
Ranveer plays Ricky Bahl, a charming conman who woos and deceives women across India before meeting his match in Anushka Sharma’s character. The film highlights Ranveer’s effortless charm and comic timing, with memorable disguises and elaborate cons. While lightweight in plot, the chemistry between the leads and the exotic locations make it thoroughly entertaining.
Why Watch: It’s vintage Ranveer at his most charismatic—showcasing the star power that would eventually make him Bollywood royalty.
4. Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani (Prime Video)
Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani narrates the life of a rich Punjabi brat and a Bengali TV journalist who fall in love with each other. Things take an ugly turn when their families get involved, putting their love story at risk ZAWYA. Karan Johar’s directorial return after seven years became a massive 2023 success.
Ranveer’s Rocky Randhawa is loud, unfiltered, and hilariously uncultured—yet genuinely sweet underneath. His pairing with Alia Bhatt created magic, while veteran actors Dharmendra, Jaya Bachchan, and Shabana Azmi added gravitas. The film brilliantly tackles toxic masculinity, family dynamics, and cultural clashes while maintaining Johar’s signature grandeur.
Why Watch: Ranveer’s performance proves he can carry a full-blown Dharma Productions family drama with equal parts humor, vulnerability, and heart.
5. 83 (Netflix)
The biographical drama makes the audience relive the historic moment when the Indian national cricket team won the 1983 Cricket World Cup under the captaincy of Kapil Dev ZAWYA. Kabir Khan’s sports biopic saw Ranveer transform physically and emotionally to embody India’s legendary all-rounder.
From mastering Kapil Dev’s unique bowling action to capturing his Haryanvi accent and mannerisms, Ranveer’s dedication earned widespread acclaim. The film recreates cricket’s most inspiring underdog story, with the climactic final against West Indies delivering genuine goosebumps. Supporting performances, period authenticity, and emotional depth make 83 more than just a sports film.
Why Watch: Before witnessing Ranveer’s raw intensity in Dhurandhar 2, experience his transformative dedication in this patriotic triumph that celebrates India’s sporting glory.
