Barfi (2012)
Ranbir Kapoor took Anurag Basu’s Barfi up a notch with his enchanting performance as the deaf and mute protagonist. His relationship with Jhilmil played by Priyanka Chopra was one of the most endearing aspects of the movie. With comparisons to a Chaplin comedy, this remains one of Kapoor’s finest performances.
