Weekend Binge: From Padmaavat To 83, Ranveer Singh's Top 5 Films To Revisit On His Birthday
Ranveer Singh turns a year older on July 6, 2025. This year, the day will be all the more special since it's his first birthday as a father. Deepika Padukone and he welcomed their first child, daughter Dua, last year.
From his memorable Bollywood debut with Band Baaja Baaraat to bagging the titular character in Farhan Akhtar's Don 3, Ranveer has indeed come a long way.
In his career spanning decades, Ranveer Singh has struck the right chord with fans. He impressed viewers as the charming conman Ricky Bahl in Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl. On the other hand, he evoked a myriad of emotions among audiences with his layered performance in Simmba.
On Ranveer Singh's birthday, we have curated a list of his top 5 films that you should revisit:
Lootera - (2013) Prime Video
Ranveer Singh's performance in this Vikramaditya Motwane directorial is touted as one of his finest, alongside Sonakshi Sinha. His character Varun Srivastav was a striking departure from his quintessential flamboyant on-screen persona. Ranveer's quiet sensitivity and transformation from a sly conman to a man riddled with guilt and love left a lasting impression.
Bajirao Mastani - (2015) Apple TV
Ranveer Singh did justice to the valiant Maratha ruler Peshwa Bajirao in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's historical drama. He commanded attention with his fiery intensity and regal charm, balancing a warrior's bravado and the vulnerability of a man deeply in love. His powerful dialogue, ' Cheete ki chaal, baaz ki nazar aur Bajirao ki talvaar par sandeh nahi karte, kabhi bhi maat de sakti hai" lives in our minds rent-free.
Padmaavat - (2018) YouTube
Proving his versatility again, Ranveer Singh slipped into the shoes of an antagonist in Padmaavat. As the tyrannical ruler Alauddin Khilji, smitten by Deepika Padukone's Queen Padmavati, Ranveer brought a visceral and disturbing intensity to his character. His expressions, maniacal laughter and remorseless cruelty sent shivers down our spine.
Gully Boy - (2019) - Prime Video
Gully Boy is perhaps one of Ranveer Singh's career-defining movies. He played the role of Murad, a budding street rapper with absolute conviction. The actor embodied a raw ambition with emotional complexity. Ranveer's nuanced performance as someone rising from Mumbai's slums earned him the Filmfare Award for Best Actor.
83 - (2021) Netflix
Ranveer Singh breathed life into his role as the cricket legend Kapil Dev in this heart-warming biographical sports drama directed by Kabir Khan. With his on-point appearance, applaud-worthy bowling action and pitch-perfect Haryanvi accent, the actor transformed into the iconic captain who led India to its first World Cup in 1983.

Tara Sutaria Opens Up About Her Journey In Bollywood As An Outsider: "It Has Been A Difficult And Lonely Task To..."
New Delhi: Tara Sutaria made her big Bollywood debut in 2019 with Student of the Year 2 alongside Tiger Shroff and debutant Ananya Panday. After 6 years, the actor got candid recently as she spoke about the loneliness she had to tackle, being an outsider. She also revealed that she had to get used to a lot of things. What's Happening Tara Sutaria spoke about being proud of herself for navigating a lot of things that she was not used to in Bollywood. Speaking to The Times Of India, she shared, "When I began my career in films, I didn't know a lot of people in the industry, and I was new to a lot of this whole world of filmmaking. So, it took many years to get used to a lot of things, and to understand how the industry functions and works. It has also been a very difficult and a very lonely task to manoeuvre and navigate so many things because when you're not from the inside, you don't have anybody to really discuss things with, seek advice from." She added, "There have been so many instances in my career where I wish I could have had guidance, I wish I could have had people from the inside of the industry help me out. In my experience, it's best to listen to your gut and intuition for your own career." Furthermore, she said that it becomes a little bit easier for people who come from a filmy background as they have a lot of inside information. Work Tara Sutaria's last release was the 2023 survival thriller Apurva. She is now gearing up for Awarapan 2, which is a sequel to Emraan Hashmi's 2007 hit film. Tara Sutaria And Veer Pahariya Rumoured To Be Dating Veer Pahariya and Tara Sutaria, who are rumoured to be dating for a while, are seemingly holidaying together in an undisclosed location. The rumoured couple shared separate pictures on their respective Instagram handles earlier this week. The Internet was quick to spot the similarities in the locale, assuming they are holidaying together. Tara and Veer walked the ramp together for the first time back in March when they had turned showstoppers at the Lakme Fashion Week. Their on-ramp chemistry sparked the buzz about their rumoured affair. Soon after their first public appearance together, The Times of India reported that the two have been dating for a little over two months now, and they are still "trying to figure things out." In A Nutshell Tara Sutaria opened up about taking time to get used to how things function in the film industry.
