I feel his and Saif Ali Khan's journeys are somewhat running parallel. They both started as cute relatable kids, then went on to play complex characters from Vishal Bharadwaj's adaptations with sometimes not getting enough credit in blockbusters like dil chahta hai and Padmavat. Even their OTT debuts mimic a similar tonality of the projects. Both have openly accepted that they were not comfortable playing commercial over the top leads. Both however, still remain as relevant and keep delivering such memorable characters. Nothing but appreciation and good wishes to both of them.
Both him and saif are underrated yet one of the best actors in Hindi mainstream cinema and Vishal came to rescue in form of Langda Tyagi and Guddu Charlie/Haider
I agree
Kareena is also common in Both
@@tanishonweb lol the comment here was not to create this untoward discussion and any relationship to Kareena I guess is pure coincidental.
@@tanishonweb nowadays kareena and shahid look like mom son😂
Finally, someone said it. Shahid is a phenomenal actor, works best under good direction. Hope he finds the success he truly deserve.
I blame him for being so charming
He can be easily compared to Shraddha Kapoor.. she too has been around for a while now.. but will never get to the top.. pl do one analysis on her jammy
He already has with Kabir singh
The thing is buddy, I feel like Shahid is pretty Dihati at heart, no matter how much he pretends to be cool. As you can also judge by the choice of his marriage. Unlike Ranbir kapoor, he is truly not of an upper-class, despite his good looks & vicious mindset. I think people can somewhere sense it & does not want a fiend like that to rise up-to the top. Hindus appreciate growth of others, only if it is balanced. Or because he is a Dihati at heart, he is unable to portray characters & characteristics that people truly aspire for. 1
Nicely put 👍
1 steps ahead ,3 steps behind is how shahids career will be described 💔👀😭
I sadly have to agree!
It's really hard being his fan
Same with srk 🤔 then whats the difference?

What about Hrithik Roshan??? Half the success he got is from his Father’s movies. Shahid made it on his own.
I consider him a star. Don't care what anyone says. He was amazing in Kabir Singh.
People don't appreciate enough what he able to pull off in a film like kaminey playing two flawed yet polar opposite character....Shahid truly immersed himself I know we prefer iconic portrayals (double roles) that became cultural phenomena like don over globally acclaimed subtle acting in my opinion he possibly gave the best double role performance in Hindi cinema history
Kaminey is one of his best! Still not recognised really by the masses!
Kaminey was popular during it's release though
@@saurabhrai14 though it was popular due to chartbuster music album but the performance never became iconic....critics truly gave his portrayal overwhelming acclaim even after that it didn't generate mass hysteria
@@malayjoshi1098 maybe, but in my area in Mumbai and among my elder cousins it was popular but I understand I'm providing a very limited perspective.
@@saurabhrai14 yeah it had a blast in Mumbai just like Dev D performed phenomenally in Delhi/NCR multiplexes
as an 18 year old, I can happily say that alot of people my age grew up watching all these actors regularly on tv. ranbir, shahid, hrithik and so many more. watching reruns of their classic movies and just jamming to now iconic and beloved songs are just some of the experiences alot of us will always cherish. now, I can't remember a time when I actually stayed up late to catch an award show just to see my favourite actor perform.
As we constantly evolve to a time which is rapidly changing, you start reminiscing about the time where there were was a dearth of options and our attention span was dedicated to a time slot otherwise we would miss it 😢

As an ardent Shahid Kapoor fan, I really appreciate this video Jammy. Before every release, I’ve always wished his films to be the next blockbuster. Shahid is still in that age where he can perform in leading roles under big banners. I fear, as he ages he will be cornered into playing one of the supporting characters. It’s really high time his talent should be utilized. Keep up the good work J - from Bangladesh.

@@rajaryan5036….lol… bruh!!! thats not how you approach someone at this day and age…. 😅😅….at least have some relatable words from the context first…😂
I remember being a bigger fan of Shahid Kapoor’s dancing in the 2000s. I mean, have y’all seen ‘Mahi Let’s Do Balle Balle’? The outfits, the set, the chemistry
and the intense looks? Wow.
the choreography and performances were so on point!
Yea, and his cute smile too!! 😍😁😘❤️

All of Shahid's flop films in 2000s were actually loved by public when it came on Television. I loved all those films in childhood and he became my first favorite hero.
Yes tv pe hit rahi hai
That intro where Shahid is giving speech is so "US".❤
Matlab hum sabhi (middle class) ko life mein atleast ek bar toh aisa lagta he hai ki "sabki life itni badiya chal rahi hai. then WHY ME!"💔
US BRO. US.❤
Resonate so much with what he said!
Yeah, and that sucks so much!! 😓😢🤧😕

I always rooted for Shahid Kapoor because i saw most of his movies during my childhood such as chup Chup ke,vivah,and one movie where he dies with sanjay dutt(forgot its name) were my absolute fav..I also liked Phata poster and Nikla hero when it released..Sahid kapoor is phenomenal actor and deserves to be at the top ❤️Farzi Was great but i dont want to see him in a repeatative angry mode like kabir..His recent Bloody Daddy was aslo like same..Hope his new release in 2024 finds audience and Love.
Waah! life ho to aisi - Shahid Kapoor, Sanjay Dutt & Amrita Rao
I Feel Like Both Shahid Kapoor And Saif Ali Khan Will Be Tagged As Forever Underdogs In Mainstream Hindi Cinema Even After 20 Years Of Showcasing Their Great Talents Infront Of Audiences And They Will Be Relevant Forever Like This I Shouldn't Be Sad About This Because Hey Atleast These 2 Gems Are Not Going Anywhere and We Will Still Be Watching Them 2 ❤
Shahid has been my favourite since childhood and seeing him as underdog really hurts me. Actors like Emraan, Ayushman , Shahid and Rajkumar Rao are like gems to Bollywood if casted properly. Hope he gets his commercial hit soon so people could recognise him as a 'Star'
Emraan hasmi ayushmaan are okay actors
He is a star. Don’t pitch him with Emraan Ayushman and Rajkumar. Are you serious??
@@justchinniyeemraan is bigger star then all of them

I feel the same way about actors like Saif Ali Khan and Emraan Hashmi.
They have kept themselves relevant for so many years and at the same time worked on their craft and proved themselves as good performers but still were not able to develop that required mass box office pull. Surprisingly Shahid, Emraan and Saif did their first film when they were like 23. So maybe the pressure to build a sustainable career at such a young age made them make certain not-so-good film choices and by the time they found their voice as actors, the audience had already categorised them into actors who only does certain kind of roles.
What about actresses most actresses are teenager 😂 18 saal m lead mil jata h 40 saal m ma ko role karti h
@@raja-jl9os woh toh aur dukhad Hain Bhai. Some of the newer actresses were actually sad because covid took some of the initial years of their career which they feel were very important because of the infamous actresses shelf life in bollywood which is actually stupid but also a sad reality like how you said ki 18 mai lead aur 40 mai maa ke role.
All underrated actors are my favourites. Keeping Khans, Kapoors, Singhs, Sharmas and many more aside I like all underrated actors. Emraan, Abhay Deol, Shahid, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Imran Khan, Saif, Farhan Akhtar(he's producer, director, writer, singer, but very underrated as an actor).
Emraan has been more successful than Shahid. Not blockbusters but he was consistent once
I'm 17 currently. I grew up watching Ranbir and Shahid as my generation actors. When i was 4, used to watch their songs like 'Bachna ae haseeno' and 'Mauja hi mauja' and others respectively on 9xm around 2009-10.
Jammy, like you had SRK and Hritik. I had Rabir and Shahid as my generation actors. Loved the way how both of them transformed themselves from chocolate boy heroes in 'Sawariya' and 'Jab we met' to badass ruthless heroes of my teenage years in 'Animal' and 'Kabir Singh'.
Always gonna admire these 2 as my childhood heroes. 💛❤️
Love that you grew up with seeing the reruns on tv just like us! I had his dance number constantly on loop!

I got a crush on him when I was 9 and watched Badmaash Company on my cousin's desktop. He is a perfect combination of good looks, acting talent and dancing talent. Crushes have changed byt I'd always have a soft corner for him. I feel so bad he didn't become the next superstar. I remember watching his films whenever they came on TV, it always felt like new. I never felt bored watching his films even after 30 watches
No actor after Hrithik able to become superstar
He is still my Crush.
He is still so handsome ❤❤
Whenever I look at him I get a feeling that he is happy being in his own league.. hence don't feel bad for him..❤
The answer's in the question- he's been around for 20 years, and can ONLY succeed with a great script. That last, was the unsaid part. He can sell a Haider, an Aditya, a Tommy, a Kabir- but he cannot sell a poor script. Incidentally, Alia Bhat and Ranbir Kapoor have the same problem- give them anything but a great script (in any given genre), they'll fail- because all three of these actors have a certain sensibility, possibly because they grew up around thinking film families. They're all extremely capable actors, but not frivolous ones. Where Ranbir and Alia have a leg up, is the absence of desperation. Alia has always had KJo, Ranbir has had SEVERAL major production houses behind him, just because of his bloodline, long before he established himself as a good actor. While Pankaj Kapur is a fine artist, he's not a commercial one, and that definitely impacted the options Shahid had. I remember what Ayushmann said once, about why he declined several scripts before Vicky Donor- he said that as an outsider, he would only have ONE first chance- if that failed, he was toast. Shahid's privilege is somewhere between that of Ayushmann and Ranbir- he got multiple chances, but he did not get multiple GOOD ones. Ayushmann would not have gotten multiple chances if he hadn't delivered so many good, successful movies in the beginning; and Ranbir will keep getting decent scripts even if he chooses to do multiple poor ones, or has multiple failures at the box office. It's all about where you stand on the privilege scale. As for being a romantic lead, the typical Bollywood kind, that SRK can still play when he's almost 60- like with terrible scripts, Shahid's sensibility won't let him do certain things, and your typical Bollywood romance might be one of those things.
But in real life 40 saal k adami ko log uncle budha samjate h
I agree with your analysis completely, and I wish he would embrace that frivolity because that would give him a very good chance to pursue an Aamir Khan-esque route. Unfortunately, India needs escapist cinema, but just because a film tells a tall tale, doesn't mean it can't be meaningful. '3 idiots' is the one Indian movie that has impacted our psyche the most. I think Shahid Kapoor might still be struggling with enjoying acting and cinema, and that translates onto the screen. This scramble between different choices and styles has left the audiences confused about whom Shahid Kapoor is. They say that for an average viewer what makes a story great is familiarity.
That’s a very detailed analysis and a great one! I think what the star kids, rather people starting out from privileged backgrounds miss, is the lack of burning desire to keep performing. They come from a comfort zone where even if they fail, there’s no lack of opportunities.
@@starsign0805 Aamir Khan route is dangerous. All his films have been flops since the last 5 years and people hate him his ideolgical and political off screen opinions.
SRK is way smarter. He adapted to the changing reality post 2015 after initial backlash against statement on growing intolerance in India, and refrained from commenting on social issues and doing things like meeting Turkish President's wife and so on.
Salman has wide following even among safftonites because of his acceptance of certain Hindu beliefs and practices. He is seen as a saffron muslim.
@@reconquistahinduism346 We're not talking about religious politics, we're talking about acting style. Shahid does not have artistic inclinations similar to that of SRK or Salman Khan, but I can see him do work similar to Aamir Khan.
Shahid is a great actor with examples-
1 Kabir Singh and Jersey was remake but he made these characters his own rather than copying original
2. His transformation in haider he goes insane is one of the best in hindi cinema
3 He don't smoke or do drugs but nailed it udta punjab
4 He nailed body language and speaking style of both brothers in kaminey
5.Rangoon , batti gul are others fine performances
You forgot his most iconic role as Aditya from jab we meet. And chup chup ke was his another really good movie
@@O2H3 chup chup ke.. is classic (although a remake).
Jab we met.. is overrated.
Shahid Kapoor's versatile acting journey indeed spans a spectrum of characters, showcasing his range from endearing romantic roles to intense, complex portrayals. The charm he brought to characters in films like Jab We Met and Vivah highlighted his ability to connect with audiences emotionally. On the other hand, his ventures into darker territories with roles in Kaminey and Haider demonstrated his prowess in tackling nuanced and challenging characters. The chaotic energy he infused into the character of Tommy Singh in Udta Punjab revealed yet another facet of his acting prowess.
While Kabir Singh garnered both praise and controversy, Shahid Kapoor's commitment to the role showcased his dedication to exploring unconventional characters. It's true that his role in Padmaavat might have been somewhat overshadowed by the larger-than-life performance of Ranveer Singh, but Kapoor's portrayal of Rawal Ratan Singh was nuanced and commendable in its own right.
As witnessed in Jersey, where the film's reception may have varied, it's clear that Shahid Kapoor is not afraid to take risks and delve into diverse roles. With a career marked by evolution and experimentation, one can only anticipate that he will continue to surprise and captivate audiences with his future projects, steering away from the stereotypical angry young man archetype and embracing the vast canvas of cinematic possibilities.
yes he proved himself as a versatile actor but the thing is stardom comes when the audience connects with you in certain way .Their expectation is met when they go and watch your movie . The expectation that is created by the actor though his style ,relativity and a x factor which only that actor possess . like srk was known for his romantic factor , sunny deol for his macho factor these actor managed to put a new dimension into their x factor which made them connect with the audience in a certain way and that is how they found stardom . Shahid for a long time never had that x factor yeah he is good dancer but hrithik was better yeah he is a versatile actor but there are other good versatile actor too he finally found his x factor in kabir singh , nobody plays a complicated a*s hole like him . he did that in farzi too and farzi is the biggest ott hit of the year .There is no harm in getting typecast just keep upgrading what you can do best if its working . if he brings another solid complicated a*s hole character arc in his filmography than he will be a bonafied star people will know what to expect from him. Its very hard to create the x factor actually the hardest for the actor . i say if you have it use it well
@@iftyhuq4321 Certainly, you've raised a valid perspective regarding the elusive x factor. Cultivating an authentic x factor is a challenging task, and attempting to mimic it could indeed result in a decline. I acknowledge and value your point as it holds significant importance for artists. However, I express a hope that there will be discernible nuances in Shahid Kapoor's portrayal of complex characters. While we've observed variations in Kabir Singh, Bloody Daddy, and Farzi, my concern is to avoid a portrayal that leans towards a stereotypical angry and complicated persona. Additionally, I'm keen for him to revisit his dance skills, as I thoroughly enjoy the way he moves and grooves.
@@surrealplayazfirst get the stardom, once you get it and get the love and connection with the audience you can evolve into other direction too. But the point is get that stardom without it things ultimately becomes insignificant
😊
After revisiting Farzi, i really wished that sunny was played by Fahadh Fazil. I could easily picture him in that role. The problem is that, Shahid was decent, but not amazing in the role. Hell, i thought the guy playing his friend outshined him in a lot of scenes, even the emotional ones.
Shahid is a tremendous actor as Director Vishal Bhardwaj says that he's the most talented actor of his generation. It's his terrible creative choices like Shaandar and unnecessary remakes that stopped him from becoming what he really deserves .
I m also a shahid kapoor fan, he is a phenomenal actor..
Shandar was also such a cute movie, I feel it is analysed too much. I really liked the songs, Shahid and Alia’s acting and the cute doodling. Why can’t a movie just be sweet and harmless anymore, I can watch it again for Shahid’s character.😢
@@ritul3497I agree
Every star has made those kind of choices..that doesn’t make him less of a Star. Don’t let Jammy make you believe in that he is a less of a star. Don’t know why he presented the title in such manner….
I can't agreee more to this!!! I root for him and get fervently wish for him to get the recognition and success he so well deserves!!!! Great video❤
I still believe that in Padmavat Ranveer was still missing in some scenes but not Shahid!!! He was on point glorifying the mighty Rajputs and thinking why's noone talking about Shahid!!??
I believe his era is yet to come! He deserves a lot more than what he have got!
The only Bollywood actor who hasnt aged or in fact aged in reverse in the past 20 years - Shahid Kapoor .
Quintensential Indian masculine beauty. ✌️
He is my favourite actor in Bollywood no matter his choices and I'll always cherish his performances
This is such a well made video. Absolutely had me wondering towards the end about why Shahid's career has been the way it is. He's a great actor and it'll be fun to have him as the first choice for several projects.
Jammy your intro and voice over here is amongst your best work. Well researched and respectful.
Shahid has flawlessly rendered brilliant shades of fun, romance, anger, sadness, action and other genres on silver screen. He has got tremendous potential to portray almost anything and everything. I admire the way you raised certain questions in the last of your analytical video, Jammy!
Comparing Shahid's career with arsenal was spot on
Man I love both of them ❤
One more thing common was last year both were on top and still failed to win anything 💔
The thing is buddy, I feel like Shahid is pretty Dihati at heart, no matter how much he pretends to be cool. As you can also judge by the choice of his marriage. Unlike Ranbir kapoor, he is truly not of an upper-class, despite his good looks & vicious mindset. I think people can somewhere sense it & does not want a fiend like that to rise up-to the top.

@@ahmadrahimkhan Shut up muzlump!
absolutely love your thoughts in this video. Very relevant and apt! Good job.
Growing up watching them . . . . They are still amazing . . . And thousand times better than newcomers nowdays
He's done so many genres honestly. From cute crush roles in Ishq vishq to comedy roles in chup Chup ke to a crazy roles in Haider.
He is a versatile actor, he doesn't need to prove anymore as ro how good it is.
Although I must say that he still deserves more recognition from people. He deserves the stardom like Hritik and Ranbir.

@@jalandharashiva The comment can be flagged and reported. You can be booked for caste atrocity. Constitution as well as true Hindu Sanatana Dharm teachings don't treat someone as low class , low caste just because YOU don't like him or his marriage choice. He is free to take any decision and has not forced Meera Rajput. Ranbeer too has given serial flops but keeps on getting work because of the privilege - nepotism - KJO nexus Bollywood mafia and ecosystem that hates others who don't follow that system. That's why a super flop like Brahmastra is touted as a super hit while Kangana"s Manikarnika - The queen of Jhansi is declared flop even if it earns more in net collections. Don't think people are fools like u.
Same is the story of Nani in TFI unfortunately, it broke my heart to see Ante Sundaraniki and Gang Leader end up as Box Office flops
Undoubtedly, he has THE BEST filmography for a Telugu actor❤
Really ? They were flops? 😳😳😳😳
He's my favourite!
Nani is much better than that overrated Devarakonda
Not all films will become hit's at box office . If not for action films like Major and Vikram , Ante would have been a hit too. Nani has the highest success ratio , Know before you comment . The case of Shahid is completely different from Nani. It's sheer ignorance to bring Nani here
@@vaisakhgeethyes they are flop talk when they got released in movies. But after watching in ott people started appreciating them.
Much needed video. Thanks Jammy.
Thank you for mentioning Haider. This is my favourite person and means a lot to me personally and I love love that film and the performances so much
I am SOO glad you did this video because being a crazy die hard Shahrukh khan can (who comes in a bracket of still the leading actors and most memorable actresses today ), Shahid was someone I always saw potential in for those hits but they were followed by such a string of flops (that I still watched), but I liked him in them- not the movies themselves - great point that he should be considered for romantic roles bc I honestly think that’s where he shines- there is a specific kind of charm to him , would love to see him with shraddha for ex!
I am a Shahid Kapoor fan from his early days in ISHQ VISHQ and I can say this from the bottom of my heart that he is a gem of an actor who performs exceptionally and is true to the needs of the character like very few in this industry. Vishal Bharadwaj knew it before the whole world. He is one of the best we have in Bollywood and will deliver magic when collaborated with the great directors ❤
I love you for this Video Jammy. There always has been and will be a soft corner for Shahid
Love Shahid! He's an amazing actor and is a successful star. I look forward to any new movie from him. Haider is a masterpiece, probably my favourite act ever.
Also, I was waiting for the MoistKritical style videos with your face on the video ever since you talked about doing it in a podcast. I hope you do continue with it going forward!
Shahid deserves his praise for his role in vivah , Haider,jab we met ,udta Punjab etc
I completely agree, he is such a versatile & highly underated actor. His best is yet to come.
Thank you Anmol for making this video. It is so true that Shahid Kapoor even after giving so many memorable performances is not given the preference for big budget projects. It's like he has to prove himself over and over again with every project he is a part of. Kaminey, Haider, Padmavat, Ishq Vishq. Jab We Met, Kabir Singh; he has aced all the genres yet is not the first choice for directors and producers and it's sad. He deserves much more recognition for sure.
You stole my heart away ❤ Made me so emotional with the end notes. Hard truth and sad. Shahid Kapoor is exceptional! He was drop dead amazing in Padmavat and so many others. He makes you laugh, feel with him. I started following you within your first few videos and your reviews and videos resonate highly with me. This video made me respect you so much more. Thank you for this. As your ending note, it is now time to see him in big roles. Thank you!
So glad you mentioned Don. When it was announced that SRK will no longer continue with the franchise and the role will be re-cast, I just knew the casting choice would be as uncreative and predictable as casting Ranveer or Ranbir, and I was so right. If they cast Shahid, it would be welcomed more due to being an unpredictable choice given how much he is overlooked by well-known directors and production houses for big movies often, there would be more intrigue and excitement from audience to see Shahid in the role of Don as the audience does recognise Shahid as a strong and intense actor in complex roles, but also because the audience to a certain point would be feeling fatigued seeing the same actors cast in every big movie so would find it refreshing to see a shake-up in the line of actors casted in big projects.
As a 90s kid I recognised his talent in Kaminey but when i watched haider its ride or die from then on. He'll always be my favourite. Love and regards from Nepal ❤️🙏🙏
Greate vid man...sad for Shahid but glad u spoke about this
Hey, Jammy.. Thanks ha... Finally I'm glad that someone is actually making Case Studies on Bollywood Star's careers graphs... I really liked that Ranbir VS Ranveer video... I hope you continue this series.. Making one on Sidharth Malhotra would be interesting.... Best of luck🎉
Bruh, I being a Gen Z kid born in 2005 can confirm that our generation will also shake leg after hearing just one line from Shahid's movie...
Jag saara jag saara nikhar gaya...(from mauja hi mauja)
Ah, childhood days! 💛
Thanks Jammy for bringing this discussion.. Im an ardent fan of him since his Aryan song.. He's all quality complete actor but apart from Vishal sir no one recognize this . He's not getting these said movies answer is simple he's not part of said gangs.. His father us acclaimed actor but not superstar. Arjun kapoor constantly destructing good scripts n still get chance also Varun.. Well it's self Explainatory.. Audience still loves him
I am in love with your vocabulary so much so, that it steals focus from the video😂❤
Love your videos,have been following you since the very beginning of the channel❤
Thank you so much for this Video
Shahid made his debut in one of the worst times ever. Pre-2007, no big studios (Dharma, YRF, Excel) were launching newcomers. Even Kaho Na Pyaar Hai had limited buzz pre-release since it was sandwiched between Aamir/SRK films. Post 2007, everything changed. Saawariya and SOTY were MASSIVELY hyped films that eventually spearheaded the "big newcomer launch." The opportunities that Ranbir, Ranveer, and Varun got with esteemed filmmakers always eluded Shahid. Ranveer was backed by YRF, Varun was backed by Dharma, and Ranbir got the best of both worlds. Meanwhile, Shahid got forgettable flops like Dil Bole Hadippa and Shandaar from YRF and Dharma, despite being capable of so much more as an actor. I think Shahid's career is a case study of "it's not how talented you are, it's who backs you."
Ranveer was backed by YRF? And got a Jayeshbhai Jordaar while Ranbir got a 300 crore Shamshera.
I was so sad when everyone was praising ranveer in Padmavat and barely mentioned Shahid. He was tooooo Good in that movie. Did his Part flawlessly
This is one of your best videos in recent times Jammy. As a 90s kid I always wondered why nobody's talking about Shahid Kapoor. Thanks for noticing 🙌🏻
I really liked how you compared Shahid’s career from Arsenal’s to be on top. Both of us known as Gunners, we really felt how they both struggled to make it really it big. We may be 2nd below Spursy but in Shahid’s case, he building up his idea of taking characters that still receives appreciation despite box office failures. I’ll still cheer for his contribution 😊
Man you explained Shahids career so intense that i had goosebumps. Undoubtedly, Shahid is one of the finest actor bollywood ever has. I wanna see him doing anti hero roles which i think would fit him more.

All suffer from the same problem. They are no doubt capable actors but owing to their experimental nature of doing films, they aren't able to amass the same kind of Fanbase as actors like SRK or Salman. They sometimes get too technical in their artform that it becomes difficult for the general audience to get connected with them.
And what about Rakshit Shetty, Nikhil Siddhartha, Tovino Thomas, Unni Mukundan, GV prakash Kumar, Karthi, Silambarasan T.R.?????
@@alvinnicholas255 barring GV Prakash and Nikhil Siddharth rest of them enjoy a pretty good amount of Fanbase.
@@latestmoviesandflixz5456 ok.
Nivin Paulys is a bad actor poor dialogue delivery , same tone of speech .
Thank you for this.
You have outdone ur analytical skills with this one, Jammy! Being a millennial myself, I remember the hookstep of all of the songs u mentioned. He was and will always have a very very special place in our hearts! As u said, it is high time!
Haider gave me goosebumps and wondered why he isn't getting the recognition that he deserves. He deserves good scripts and directors like Sandeep Reddy Vanga or Atlee Kumar.
Vivah.... I still stare at him in the movie... kismat Konnection title song,mauja mauja songs...etc r something else.. he's special in Dance.. loved Kabir Singh than original
These words from Jammy have come right from the heart, and I hope Shahid reaches to the place where he deserves
Amazing video 👌 Shahid Kapoor 😍 is my favourite male actor till now... I totally agree, he is underated in Bollywood . His acting 👌 is so mind blowing, vulnerable & finest 👍.
When you only have a handful of memorable movies with a good storyline, it is what it is.
Not only he is an exceptional actor but I grew up watching Shahid Kapoor and his what I like to call "good boy" roles in lighthearted movies and then seeing him in Kaminey, Haider, Udta Punjab and Kabir Singh I saw what his true range and talent was...and he dances amazing, he is charming and good looking too and is a great actor but always I feel like he is ignored by the industry somehow which breaks my heart 💔
Well Bro came on Camera. Im liking this change since KWK episode.
The points you made at the end of the video made me think there must be some politics at play which is not letting him get roles like that. He deserves to be a superstar man ❤
I think Shahid had really good momentum with Kabir Singh and I'm sure Jersey would've also been a superhit if it released pre pandemic, he just had bad luck.
Wow! Someone Had To Say It...He Truly Deserves Alot More Than He Gets.
Biggest crush since ishq vishq ,thankyou for making this video
thanks for improving my english day by day..
Shahid should first stop complaining. This is not a hate or troll comment, but I really feel becoming a star has lot to do with how they are giving interviews, how they are as a person. Shahid, I have always hear something or other about a Co- star or script. He never accepts his fault.
I agree
As a fan of SRK after him I love & admire Ranbir and Shahid as an Actors (I'm not a fan )but the fact is actors like Varun, Ranveer Singh, rajkumar Rao considered as briliant actors based on their 2-3 good performance but Shahid is still not there despite of proving himself many Times that he has better acting craft then all of them just breaks my heart !
As an SRK fan who is also a big Shahid fan I totally relate. How is it that his contemporaries who came after him and have a significantly smaller filmography have gained reputation as good actors, but the public still doesn't acknowledge Shahid within the conversation of Bollywood's strongest and finest actors.
The most needed video
Just ❤. He STILL can make it big. Him having gone through peaks and valleys, hope he plays to his strengths every once in a while; which I think he has been running against for a decade now (dance, romcoms/slice of life/feel good).
His films that didn’t work at the box office weren’t necessarily bad films (Fida, KK, Badmaash, TMK). Here’s hoping he gets more luck/opportunities.
I hear there could possibly be a collaboration with Imtiaz soon. Keeping my fingers crossed!
I remember watching padmavat and felt and mesmerized more with Shahid's kapoor acting than ranveer singh. He acted more maturely and subtle whereas Ranveer singh character was more supported by his look.
He's still underrated because of his film choices . If we actually see the movies that he rejected which went to on to become big hits we would know why he's still not much talked about Rockstar, Ranjhana , Bang Bang ( don't know how true it's though) all could have added so much to his career but somehow he ended up doing a Phata Poster and Batti Gul just after delivering Kaminey or Haider . Somehow he just couldn't become the fan favourite when Ranbir Kapoor was on a rise during similar time. He made a huge comeback with Kabir Singh and became a household name again but then Jersey came ( which was again getting delayed continuously) his acting was brilliant again but the movie went completely unnoticed due to the wrong date they chose to release it at. Now his next with Kriti can become a hit if it's done well as it will release during Valentine's Week and has that romantic genre . But his main comeback might just again come with the Action Comedy that he's doing .
Even after having the talent he used it at all the wrong places unlike Ranbir who's movies even if they were flop weren't such bad choices after all.
Hope he has realised it now and is actually choosing good scripts instead of random works. Deva also looks like can be a good thriller because the director is pretty strong.
Haider was released after Phata poster.
@@reconquistahinduism346Yeah my bad but he did an equally bad movie Shaandar.
Wtf are you talking about? Ranbir’s movies are all mostly flops. What Shahid is lacking is the media perception which a Ranbir has.
So sad ya this is. I always thought about this. But nobody puts the story forward like you Jammy. ❤❤
Firstly, love your videos Jammy, I have been a fan since the start of this channel. You always bring up topics that are incredibly relevant and have a certain nuance to them. With regards to Shahid, I think the biggest mistake that he or perhaps even Ranveer or Varun have made is that they haven't cultivated their aura. I believe stardom is more aura than anything else. For e.g. Manoj Bajpayee is a stellar actor but the star aura has never been there. I was at Burj Khalifa recently when SRK came for Jawan promotions. The hosts kept on naming people that we have Bhushan Kumar here, we have Atlee, we have Vijay Setupathy but the crowd was numb with little to no applause, but when they said SRK is here, the crowd went wild. The noise was deafening. Shahid has done some amazing roles but he will always be a hero but never a star. Also, Jammy, I am waiting for a matlab kuch bhe episode :P. Love from Karachi, Pakistan
For me, Shahid Kapoor is the number 1 star-actor from the newer generation followed by Ranbir Kapoor and Hrithik Roshan. What he did in Haider is miles ahead of anything anyone else from the newer generation has done, and will be appreciated to its deserved level perhaps 20/30 years later. Also, some of his films did not deserve to fail namely Fida, Dil Maange More, Teri Meri Kahaani, Jersey and Batti Gul Meter Chalu.
Shahid as the new Don would have been perfect.
Am watching him from "Ankhon main tera hi chehra" n pepsi Ad with KKHH actors ...So many faded out but happy he's stll there
I think the reason behind like you said, why is he not the first choice or even choice for playing the franchise lead characters or the lead under the banner of great bollywood brands could be because he doesn't go to Bollywood parties and socialize with the 'Insiders' and that's how he is and its okay to be like that. I think he is one of the most disciplined, talented and consistent personalities in the industry. It was his talent and perseverance that has actually got him this far. So, the time is changing, it's not the age of stardom anymore. lots of talents are finally getting chances and that push. and now, I feel, some countable elites in the industry cannot control or influence the fate of talents like him and he is getting even better like a fine wine. and one suggestion to you, it is good that you pointed out probably some of the unsaid things in the industry, but it would be nice, if you would not have mentioned 'negative verbs' in the title like 'unlucky' or 'never became a star', in the title. This might work reverse way. and rather say something like 'deserves better treatment' or 'who the bollywood need to focus on' or something like that you know. Just a suggestion, from a great fan of Shaheed
As a Shahid Kapoor fan, I see this as an absolute win
He's like Dolph Ziggler of Bollywood...underrated af
Thank u for talking about Shahid...he is damn talented..love his work..
❤❤❤..always wala love!!
Fab video! As a big Shahid fan for 20 years- this one hit hard.
I want to point you to a fab point.
Every big director has made a flop film with Shahid after immediately making a big hit film with someone else.
Be it Rajkumar Santoshi with PPNH after APKGH
Or
Be it Vikas Behl making Shaandaar after Queen
Or
Shree Narayan Singh making Batti Gul after Toilet
And the list goes on..
Despite this.. his career choices seem to have been very much director driven. He’s worked every good name there is.
All he needs is a Zoya or Raju Hirani or KJo to consider him.
Another problem: every time he worked with his dad has proved unsuccessful for him despite a fab product like Jersey or a slow film like Mausam or the grande train wreck of Shaandaar which looks fabbb!
Agree with the last lines by you how he's never the choice for all this projects even after so many good works and consistently proving himself. Even after consistent set of Box office failures Tiger is still bagging a place in Cop universe when nobody even might be thinking about him for any such role. Proved in Bloody daddy too that he can do action well why isn't he even thought about a role in Don even if as a Villian.
Shahid as Don would have been such an unexpected choice, and I can see that even SRK fans may have approved of Shahid as a successor to the Don series because Ranveer or Ranbir or such monotonous and predictable choices by producers.
@@MultiBigbird01 Even though I'm not a hater of Ranveer but I only wish that his Don fails badly the announcement itself recieved alot of hate. I would have even approved Hrithik in Don but Ranveer just doesn't looks like he would fit that role. Shahid could have nailed it instead and even would have got a huge boost in his career. Don't think Don would become a hit now with Ranveer in it.
I have been his admirer since the release of Kaminey. I wish he gets the success similar to Ranbir. He has looks, attitude, witt, physique, dance, acting skills still underrated means he makes me believe in Luck 😢
What success did Ranbir get!
Too good point.👏
This video makes me so emotional as shahid was my childhood crush.. I used to edit his pictures with mine on phone..it hurts
Shahid Kapoor is a great underrated versatile actor and dancer. His romance in Ishq Vishk, Jab We Met, Vivah, his intensity in Kaminey, Haider, Udta Punjab, Kabir Singh, his comedy in Chup Chup Ke, Phata Poster Nikla Hero. Even many of his flop films are SECRET UNDERRATED MASTERPIECES. For me his best performances will be always Haider and our all time and GOAT KABIR SINGH. He definitely deserved Best Actor Award in Filmfare 2020 which went to Ranveer Singh who was great in Gully Boy but that film is actually Bollywood's version of Eminem's 8 Mile with many noted similarities. I'll say that it's almost a REMAKE. LOL. But jokes apart, he's not a SUPERSTAR because his films with biggest production houses in Bollywood failed miserably Dil Bole Hadippa and Badmaash Company(I liked that movie and it's songs BTW) from YRF and the God awful Shaandar from Dharma Productions really hampered his stardom.
Lol. Did you really equate Ranveer and Varun? Lol
Even after Kabir Singh, he is still being ignored.
It probably should be even after Haider Or Kaminey!!!!
Kabir singh was a shitty movie
The only Bollywood actor who hasnt aged or in fact aged in reverse in the past 20 years - Shahid Kapoor .
Quintensential Indian masculine beauty. ✌️
After kabir Singh he gave jersey which was not needed
@@reconquistahinduism346 I agree. He looks much more handsome now compared to his initial “chocolate boy” days.
His acting in Kaminey is something else...It looks like there are 2 different people playing the twins. Most underrated movie of all time
Why do you need every actor to be a star?
Hey Anmol. I really wanted to ask you if you watched kaala paani. And if you didn't, why?? And if you did.. why didn't you review it. It's such a brilliant show so well written and directed. For the first time there is a story based on the islands. And as someone living in the islands, I'm so disappointed by the lack of the attention this series got.
I liked the series,one of the best Indian series.
Btwn what mistakes they did ?
He is a STAR for sure, not a superstar yet but he will get there for sure Jammy! He debuted when I was in class 10th & I remember how crazy it was to see a relatable actor who dances like a dream & act like water! He for sure will ended up being in his own league- a STAR ACTOR!
He isn't underrated, he just doesn't have good relations with the right people to be part of the right projects. If he was underrated, he wouldn't be doing these many films. The underrated ones are actually struggling to get any work.
His script selection method is the biggest reason he is not a star till now. Looks, skills, range, screen presence, this guy has everything. But somewhere, even we didn't appreciate him. His performances from Kaminey, and Haider didn't give him a commercial blockbuster. Even Jersey was good but flopped at the box office.
