Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Jairam Thakur meets Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan at the Circuit House in Manali.
Going to Manali and getting yourself photographed with a friend lost its cool sharpness circa 1995, so why are ‘fan clubs dedicated to Alia and Ranbir’ on Instagram (remember, unemployment is at a four-decade high) excited with this? Great Himachali topi...ghastly, bluish shades...flowers...shooting for a movie called Brahmastra.... Oh, the high of spotting stars!
No, this Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations at the Ambanis’ (do they have to dance attendance, though?) wasn’t Ranbir’s best show. Nope, not because of the silver texture of his kurta peeking under that spotty galabandh, but because of the radiance of Alia—the floral pattern mirrors her smile, and finds completion in those substantial earrings.
Bollywood actors Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt and Mouni Roy arrive for shooting of their upcoming film 'Brahmastra', in Varanasi.
Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor shows his finger marked with indelible ink at a polling station during the fourth phase of the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, in Mumbai.
Gosh! We thought these two are getting married as a runaway couple! But no, Ranbir and Alia are merely ‘launching’ their film Brahmastra at the Kumbh Mela. A further gimmick: 150 drones spelt out the name on the night sky. Shouldn’t sadhus protest?
When Twinkle Toes Alia and Happy Feet Ranbir meet King Khan on stage, thumkas are expected to fly. Let the cobalt green anarkali (paired with chandelier earrings, coy smiles and jibber-jabber stolen on the side) swirl for Prince Charming in a blue suit. The Mumbai cops can’t be happier, their Umang is high. But where is pest control? The photobomb squad, to be precise.

Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor participates in Ganapati immersion procession, at RK Studio, in Mumbai, Sunday, Sept. 23, 2018. The Kapoor family has decided to sell off the landmark RK studio -- 70 years after it was established -- as it was not "economically viable" to rebuild it after it was gutted down in a fire last year.
Why, ask Bollywood gossipers, could not Ranbir Kappoor latch on to one of the several glamorous Bollywood actresses he has dated? A commitment problem, or have the ladies something to add to the riddle? The one actress who is bent on keeping Ranbir secure, we hear, is Alia Bhatt. It’s up to Ranbir now!

We’ve expended ink on this before...these age-defying visitations from Rekha. The IIFA Awards in Bangkok will now be remembered not for the mandatory waffling of tired actors mewling stilted jokes, but for the prima donna in her anarkali, as perfectly preserved as she was in Umrao Jaan, as nimble on her feet while the nostalgic tunes played out. The audience was overwhelmed; the whole galaxy of male stars swirling at her feet only marked her pull.

First, the foreground: Ranbir Kapoor, flanked by director Rajkumar Hirani and producer Vidhu Vinod Chopra, flashes a ‘heart’ at the press at the teaser launch of Sanju, which promises much in terms of flying high-down in the gutters-picking oneself up drama. Now look at the background—the utterly wondrous transformation of Ranbir into the man he impersonates, Sanjay Dutt. Modern make-up has done its bit. Can Ranbir motivate himself to complete the likeness?

With football giving Indians a lucky respite from bat and ball, a team from Bollywood (capt: Abhishek Bachchan) met one made of sportsmen (led by, who else, Virat). Competition was stiff, and shots at the goal came in flurries. In the end, All Hearts FC outran and outplayed All Stars FC. They won 7-3.

If you’re thinking Rani could just walk in into a movie, know this: Durga Puja furnishes enough beauties to fill up two Bollywoods. But at the North Bom-bay Sarbojonin puja, known for its starry footfall, Rani met up with Ranbir, looking handsome as the devil in a peach-coloured kurta. But then, Rani will be back, in a movie called Hichki!
It’s late, and the two club-hopping friends just needed a smoke break. But, even in the Big Apple, a furtive lensman was keeping watch on the casual Ranbir and gorgeously gowned Mahira Khan. The usual social media baloney ensued. Next time, guys, just take a break in Tallinn.

The grace and humility with which Sanjay Dutt has borne his years of incarceration is one of filmdom’s warmest tales, and his comeback in Bhoomi was cheered by all. Ranbir spoke of the man whom everyone has come to love. He got a hug in return.
A Lennon-esque look bodes well for Ranbir Kapoor’s next venture, a biopic. But for all his attempts at ‘into-the-skin’ method, the viewer has to make a leap of the imagination to liken him with a young Sanjay Dutt. Can he not make his eyelids droop a bit?

Swing, But Not A Miss Dress like the way Ranbir does—jacket, tie and trainers—for giving the pony-tailed Anushka, in polka-dotted slacks and short-cropped top, a swing that would make her whoop with joy. The occasion was the now-familiar release of a trailer—of Bombay Velvet in this case, pairing the pictured duo for the first time.

The Goal Yonder These days you oughtta say it with football, joining the World Cup wave, letting yourself flow with the high tide of scathing through passes, sly backheels and bold volleys. If not, risk being cruelly ignored. Ranbir does the needful while promoting Lekar Hum Deewana Dil.

POOH-poohing any suggestion of a romance is
one thing. But Katrina and Ranveer post a series
of photos on a Spanish beach, have taken different
stands. She is alternately jokey and sullen;
he is grumpy, then more grumpy.

Sachin Tendulkar and Ranbir Kapoor leave after attending Birthday Party of Nita Ambani in Jodhpur.
Directors' Final Cut This snap at a 2009 fashion show threw grist at the rumour. Since then, the Ranbir-Katrina romance—mount, plateau, plain—has been tracked by troops of Page 3 bloodhounds. What prompts us to take note? A rumoured recrudescence of their filmy ‘lurve'.
Multi-Course Grace Of the many wazwans Ranbir's partaken of in the Valley, this post-Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani shoot sit-down with Deepika was thought to be the one that'd overturn the tarami. The doomsayers didn't account for the healing properties of cured meats.
Words Unspoken Who’d have thunk it? A flower plucked from Ranbir’s screaming legions to plant one on her man at a Barfi! promo wilts. Was it charm, cologne, or his wisecrack to a ‘where to peck, sir’ query? ‘Keep it simple, silly’.
A Step Out Of Place Ah, the Robot. The default dance setting for Star Wars shut-ins and Asimov otakus, but an odd choice of move at an initiative to spread the fitness gospel. Not to tell tales out of school, but perhaps Ranbir was cut up about losing the Marks for Sports ambassadorship of Mumbai to Bipasha.

Sub-Subliminality Let not eyes linger on Ranbir’s ‘lip-lock’ with Barfi! director Anurag Basu lest the subtext be lost. If actions > words, Priyanka’s look-away and Ileana D’Cruz’s smile-cringe speak volumes about using loud gimmickry to promote a film on a deaf-mute.
