The actor won Filmfare Award for Best Actor as well as Filmfare Critics Award for Best Actor.

Barfi

One of the toughest roles Ranbir Kapoor has played on the big screen is of Barfi. The movie was directed by Anurag Basu and it told the story of a deaf and mute guy named Barfi. Ranbir was simply excellent in the film and won the Filmfare Best Actor Award for his performance in it.
