Origins
Although it states that the Kapoor family are originally from Peshawar, this reference states that they had settled in Punjab. Should not this be mentioned too? Thanks--S H 15:20, 11 February 2011 (UTC)


 * This source clearly says "Raj Kapoor told me that his family hailed originally from Peshawar, but his grandfather retired as Tahsildar from Samundri and settled there" Kapoor family have spend more time in Mumbai than Punjab(Samundri), does that make them Marathi? Other sources refer to them as "Pathan". Winston786 (talk) 15:26, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
 * His Grandfather was born in Samundri, and clearly it meant something to them, as he longed to be there. Its their background, so what is the harm in mentioning it? In any case a he (Ranbir) seems to be described as a Punjabi Munda and when I met his father years ago, it was exactly how he described himself (although that is not relevant here)? Thanks--S H 16:44, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

His grandfather(Raj Kapoor) was not born in Samundari, he was born in Peshawar. The sources clearly say that it is a "Hindu PATHAN" family. Somebody else has decribed him "Punjabi Munda" in a Suggestive manner.Winston786 (talk) 16:54, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Not born in Samundri? Oh really? Maybe this article is wrong "Prithviraj was born on November 3, 1906 at Samundri near the town of Lyallpur (now known as Faisalabad in Pakistan) to a middle-class family of Punjabi Khatri origin. He could speak Punjabi, Hindi and Hindko. "? or maybe this Thanks--S H 17:02, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Also note this "Like his father, Raj Kapoor spent much of his childhood in Peshawar. Born in Samundari on 14 December 1924 he was the only one of Prithviraj's children to speak Pashto and imbibe Pathan culture directly. When his father went to Bombay" from this, page 371. Thanks --S H 17:06, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

He is not his grandfather, its RAJ Kapoor. Read again what Raj Kapoor said, "family hailed originally from Peshawar, but his grandfather retired as Tahsildar from Samundri and SETTLED there" i.e at best only one generation was born there and spend time there. Winston786 (talk) 17:07, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

Four generations of their family have lived in Mumbai and two of them have born there, calling them a Marathi family is more viable than PUNJABI family. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Winston786 (talk • contribs) 17:11, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
 * There are 3 refrences that state Pritviraj was born in Lyalpur Samundri, so which one of them is wrong? Thanks --S H 17:14, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
 * You are wrong, his grandfather was RAJ Kapoor not Prithiviraj and once again please read what Raj Kapoor said, ""family hailed originally from Peshawar, but his grandfather retired as Tahsildar from Samundri and SETTLED there" i.e at best only one generation was born there and spend time there, just coz one generation was in Punjab doesn't make them Punjabi. Not to mention, Raj Kapoor was born in Peshawar and spent his youth there before moving to Mumbai, after him all(including his brothers) have no Punjabi birth or childhood(not forgetting that they are not Punjabi at first place.) Winston786 (talk) 17:22, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
 * why us Raj Kapoor also described as a Punjabi here? Thanks --S H 17:28, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
 * There are more sources where they are described as PATHAN, like this as per which "Prithviraj always considered himself a Pathan". Winston786 (talk) 17:33, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
 * But why not mention their Punjabi roots as mentioned here. What is your objection to this? I have posted several refrences. Thanks --S H 17:39, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
 * What Punjabi Roots? Prithviraj Kapoor(who considered himself a Pathan) was JUST born in Punjab(after his father settled there from Peshawar). He went back to Peshawar, studied there. Raj kaoor, his son and Ranbir's grandfather was again born in Peshawar. Winston786 (talk) 17:43, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
 * So in Summary:


 * 1) I have established the press describes Ranbir Kapoor as a Punjabi Munda
 * 2) His gradfather Raj Kapoor is described as Punjabi here
 * 3) His Great Grandfather was born in the Punjabi village of Samundri  here.
 * But we are not allowed to mention, Punjab or Punjabi connections to do with Randhir Kapoor. Why?--S H 17:46, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Coz it is not important enough unless you want Punjab to have a Kapoor family endorsement. Winston786 (talk) 17:56, 11 February 2011 (UTC)


 * In my Summary

Still you want to add PUNJABI CONNECTION? Winston786 (talk) 17:52, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) Family originally hails from Peshawar not Punjab  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Winston786 (talk • contribs) 17:58, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) Prithiviraj Kapoor always considered himeself a Pathan. (As per given source).
 * 3) Only one generation of the family has anything to do with Punjab.
 * 4) He and his father was born in Mumbai, his grandfather was born in Peshawar.
 * No need to shout it is rude. This talks about his Punjabi roots in Samundri. This given source apart from being pretty poor and not legible does not dispute they had a Punjabi connection. What is your objection to adding a Punjabi connection, give that is have added:
 * What you mean by "Punjabi roots in Samundri"? Roots are in Peshawar. This source is asserting them being Pathan. Why don't you add Marathi connection? after all he has "roots" in Maharashtra too. Winston786 (talk) 18:06, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Ranbir(and his family) are not 'Pathans of Punjab', as per 'Pathan of Punjab's defination "they are originally Pashtun people (Pathans) who have settled in the Punjab region of Pakistan and India. These Pashtun communities are scattered throughout the Punjab". Ranbir, his father, his grandfather even his great grandfather were not settled in Punjab(only his great great grandfather i.e one generation). Winston786 (talk) 18:24, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

(od) Not sure why this is such a big deal but I notice that the mother is listed as being from a Sikh family. Unless I'm mistaken, Sikhs are generally Punjabi. Just a thought. --rgpk (comment) 19:09, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Would we say that Rahul Gandhi is from an Italian family? Winston786 (talk) 19:24, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Wouldn't we acknowledge his Italian heritage? His mother is Italian, so that makes him half-Italian, ethnically. --rgpk (comment) 19:34, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
 * We will write that his mother is from Italy, we wont say that he is from an Italian family. User:Sikh-history wants to write that "Ranbir is from a Punjabi family". Winston786 (talk) 19:40, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Actually I don't but you have an objection to include anything to do with Punjab:


 * 1) I have established the press describes Ranbir Kapoor as a Punjabi Munda
 * 2) His gradfather Raj Kapoor is described as Punjabi here
 * 3) His Great Grandfather was born in the Punjabi village of Samundri  here.

Repeating again and again...how come if some journo(not even a well recognized one) call him a PUNJABI MUNDA makes him a Punjabi, how can he be a Punjabi when he is a Pathan and his great grandfather was just born in Punjab(only member of the family), Vivian Leigh was born in India, does that make her INDIAN? Winston786 (talk) 19:53, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

And your link do not speak for themself, most of them are unreliable. Winston786 (talk) 19:54, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

I dont know why u want to add a Punjabi link in all of this?
 * 1) Family originally hails from Peshawar not Punjab
 * 2) Prithiviraj Kapoor always considered himeself a Pathan. (As per given source).
 * 3) Only one generation of the family has anything to do with Punjab.
 * 4) He and his father was born in Mumbai, his grandfather was born in Peshawar.

I don't see a reason for any Punjabi touch here. Winston786 (talk) 19:59, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

Edit request from Nithindnaik, 21 June 2011
Please replace with the following as first line under Career section:

"Before starting off his career as an actor, Kapoor worked as an assistant director for the films Prem Granth (1996)and Aa Ab Laut Chalen (1999) . Kapoor later worked as an assistant with director Sanjay Leela Bhansali, where he was involved in the making of the film Black (2005). "

Inappropriate use of table
Per the manual of style "Tables are a way of presenting links, data or information in rows and columns. They can be useful for a variety of content presentations on Wikipedia, though should be used only when appropriate; sometimes the information in a table may be better presented as prose paragraphs or as an embedded list" and "Often a list is best left as a list. Before you format a list in table form, consider whether the information will be more clearly conveyed by virtue of having rows and columns. If so, then a table is probably a good choice. If there is no obvious benefit to having rows and columns, then a table is probably not the best choice. " There is no obvious benefit to placing the filmography in a table, other than it will consume inordinate amounts of time and frustration dealing with the crappy table markup system used by Wikipedia. Oh wait, that is not a benefit. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  12:40, 8 March 2013 (UTC)


 * These are your thoughts and the trials that you face with tables. That is not a reason to remove something. I would like to see inputs from all the regular users and editors of this page, and then achieve a consensus, until then DONOT remove the table format. You cannot make a controversial edit and then come and notify in talk page. Its the other way round. These removal of tables are being challenged, and hence correct method is to ahieve consensus first and then proceed with replacing the table. — Indian: BIO  · [ <b style="font-family:Tempus Sans ITC;color:#1C1CF0;">ChitChat</b> ] 12:54, 8 March 2013 (UTC)
 * You have yet to show any benefit, much less any obvious benefit of having the table format. A local page consensus does not override the Wikipedia wide consensus on Manual of Style. And it is not "just my opinion"   "If the information you are editing is not tabular in nature, it probably does not belong in a table: Try not to use tables for putting a caption under a photograph, arranging a group of links, or other strictly visual features. It makes the article harder to edit for other Wikipedians." --  TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  12:59, 8 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Firstly, why do you suddenly feel the urge to lecture me on MOS? I hope you are not doing that, coz it sounds patronizing and I'm pretty well aware of WP MoS'. Next, I agree whenever the tables are not needed they can be replaced with list, but this is not the case here. Like any expanding filmography of Indian actors, this table will go on increasing and its not an empty table also ,specifying just the film name. The table cateogrizes the awards that the film won, the artist character name in the film role, any extra miscellaneous information altogether. I repeat, this is not MY consensus and MOS:TABLE is just that, a MOS. Not a thumb rule or a policy. So that is not a concrete reason to remove a table and replace it with a list. I admit, taht in articles like Arjun Kapoor etc, it is better to have the list, but not here. I would request input from other users or I would open a RFC. — Indian: BIO  · [ <b style="font-family:Tempus Sans ITC;color:#1C1CF0;">ChitChat</b> ] 13:06, 8 March 2013 (UTC)
 * "Like any expanding filmography of Indian actors, this table will go on increasing and its not an empty table " seems to be that you are making predictions. But in any case, the fact that the filmography may likely be expanding is an even greater reason to ditch the fucked up table markup and use the clean and easy list format so that any potential future films may be easily added and edited by any editor. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  13:32, 8 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I don't understand the sudden objection to tables here by TRPoD, Nightocean, and Flowers of the world. Filmography tables are everywhere on Wikipedia and recommended by the WikiProject Actors and Filmmakers here: ACTOR. It is also listed as appropriate right at MOSTABLES here: MOS:TABLES. Are you gonna take this on at every actor's article now? BollyJeff  &#124;  talk  13:00, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
 * The fact that crap may be everywhere is not a valid excuse to spread it further. While there may be some occasions where putting a filmography is table form is helpful to the reader, there has been no justification for why the table format is helpful to the reader here. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  17:12, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
 * The justification here is the same as for every other filmography table; there are four pieces of related data that cannot be displayed as effectively by putting commas between them on a bullet list.  The table makes this possible. You are not making it clear why here it is different from any other actor articles?  The fact that it is crap seems to be only your opinion since, as I pointed out above, these tables are recommended by the groups who set policies for these types of articles.  BollyJeff  &#124;  talk  17:36, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
 * if there were four related items of data for each entry there might be a valid table set up. However, this table is evidence that that is not the case. There are 3 pieces of data, and then the miscellaneous grab all trivia column of "notes" which for half of the items on this list/table show that the item should not actually be listed at all because a filmography is a list of films made and half of these are not yet even made. The three pieces of data that do exist are cleanly and easily displayed in a simple list with the format
 * Film (year), as Role.
 * for the few that have awards related to them, they can be identified in the text or a stand alone section.
 * Yes, I understand that illiterate people of today flock to table format to create eye magnets so that people wont have to read actual words and sentences, but really we don't have to play that game.-- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  20:41, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

I think you should take this up at the talk pages of the two links that I mentioned above, and get a consensus for how many potential entries are needed to make the use of a table valid or not. It should not be up to any random editor to decide that a filmography table is okay for actor A and not for actor B, and then try to force his decision on others. BollyJeff &#124;  talk  21:08, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
 * The community's consensus is already clearly stated at MOS:TABLES " [Tables] can be useful for a variety of content presentations on Wikipedia, though should be used only when appropriate; sometimes the information in a table may be better presented as prose paragraphs or as an embedded list." "Often a list is best left as a list. Before you format a list in table form, consider whether the information will be more clearly conveyed by virtue of having rows and columns. If so, then a table is probably a good choice. If there is no obvious benefit to having rows and columns, then a table is probably not the best choice." What is the obvious benefit for table formatting on this article? "All the other kids are doin it" is not an obvious benefit.--  TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  21:12, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Okay, we have gone back and forth enough on this. Three editors think it should be in, and three think it should be out, although two of those are suspected sock puppets. Let's see if anyone else chimes in (that does not mean that we should canvas for more supporters). Have a nice day. BollyJeff  &#124;  talk  21:19, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
 * 3 people think it should be in "because all the other kids are doin it" - which is not one of the reasons that is acceptable under the MOS. Wikipedia is not based on vote counts. It is based on weight of arguments as they measure up to policies and guidelines. --  TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  21:51, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
 * It all comes back to choice, we think it passes the MOS while you or those socks think it doesnt. I will notify the film wikiproject to chime in their opinion and come to consensus and also notify mos:table talk page. — Indian: BIO  · [ <b style="font-family:Tempus Sans ITC;color:#1C1CF0;">ChitChat</b> ] 02:41, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
 * It all comes back to choice,  - no it doesnt. It comes down to policy and guidelines. The MOS guidelines are dont use tables unless there is obvious benefit. You have not only not named an obvious benefit, you have not named any benefit to the reader (or to editors). -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  03:42, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I have pointed out that those information won't be possible to have in a list and its better suited for a table which will show the info in a formal, categorized manner, rather than the scattered list that you proposed. And ysm it comes down to choice and that's how the MOS interpretes it. Its a guideline, not a pillar of Wikipedia. And you my dear haven't pointed out any benefits of removal of tables and replacing them with hard to read bullets. — Indian: BIO  · [ <b style="font-family:Tempus Sans ITC;color:#1C1CF0;">ChitChat</b> ] 05:37, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I have in fact pointed out the benefits of not tableizing - even though the MOS puts the burden on the table format to provide obvious benefit - the simple list is in fact very easy to read, and easy for ACCESS. In addition it does not act as an eye magnet to give excessive visual weight to visually expansive but content empty table, and probably most important the simple list format is simple for every editor to make any additions or corrections. --  TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  05:50, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
 * And I have also pointed out that the table is beneficial for catgorizing the information which is difficult to read as a list. And the table is not empty you very well know it. And it is an expanding table, and frankly, that the list is a case of WP:ACCESS, I'm not buying it at all. The list may be easy to add, but content reading and access wise it is difficult to read and gather information. And this is the last I'm saying on this as we are going to and fro.

Over glorification - Artcile needs to be re-worked
Excessive Trivia is appearing in this article at present. Is wikipedia a gopssip column. Why such a huge introductory para when these things are already appearing in the Sections - Debut and success (2007–10)and Rockstar and beyond. Why is double standards being followed in wikipedia? On one side - all Bollywood actors (those especially who did more than 100 or 150 films )who worked between 1930-1999 have been deprived of a proper wikipedia artcile - detailing their achievements and on the other side actors like Ranbir Kapoor are having wikipedia artciles which are excessively detailed with unnecessary trivia - although they are just 6 or 10 films old ..
 * Him engaging in charity work finds mention in many paras and also about his films like Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani reappears at many places in the article.
 * 1) Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year and Anjana Anjani both not a commercial success - but this is not mentioned clearly.o
 * 2) Excessive gossips have been mentioned in personal life sections and excessive POV in the section in IN THE MEDIA
 * In artciles on senior actors - who have worked for more than 100 or 150 films - their success in many films does not find a mentionm whereas in case of Ranbir Kapoor article - revenue earned / commercial success or not etc - has been mentioned though Ranbir is just below 10 films oldVerify50123 (talk) 14:34, 14 September 2013 (UTC)

how isit relevant whether the complaining user was blocked? What steps have been taken to stop glorifying actors who are just 10 films old and to remove trivias from articles of most of the articles on Hindi film heroes who have debuted after 1995

 * The complaining user has shown very clearly that they don't understand Wikipedia policies, and don't care about them, and that is why they are blocked. For that reason, their complaints are given less weight than complaints that are actually policy based. (If there had been some merit in the complaint, it would have been considered, needless to say, but it is still important for other editors to know that the editor is a blocked sock puppet so that, e.g., they don't ask questions of him that they will never get answer to.) --bonadea contributions talk 14:47, 17 September 2013 (UTC)

Picture
Hi, welcome back to Wikipedia!! :) Just a question, is there any particular reason why you changed back the infobox image of this article? I had put up a recent picture, which was properly licensed and the quality is also good. It has been there for quite some time, and no one objected to it. So, just curious. And I think Tamasha should be mentioned in the lead because his performance was praised and he received nominations at some award ceremonies including Filmfare (though I don't care for any of them lol). Basically, because it is a noteworthy movie in his filmography. Waiting for your feedback. - Semanti Paul (talk) 06:17, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi Semanti, thank you. Well, I don't think a picture of him frowning in the infobox is such a good idea. The YJHD picture is also very recent and he looks much better in it IMO. As for Tamasha, we may add it but the film really isn't one of his notable ones, either critically or commercially. As for the Filmfare nomination, it's safe to say that he is following the SRK-Kajol (who were both nominated for Dilwale) route of garnering nominations solely for his star power. -- Krimuk | 90 ( talk ) 06:58, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Fair enough on the infobox picture. However, you might look at his Wikimedia page which I have been developing. Here is the link:https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Ranbir_Kapoor. It has pictures of him upto this year and if there's something we both like that is as recent as last year, we might consider putting it. Re: Tamasha, I did say I didn't care for Filmfare nominations. I wanted to add it because among his string of commercial failures for two years, this has been the standalone film where he received almost unanimous praise for his acting. It was an average film otherwise, but his performance stood out, and I hope you'll agree. Maybe we could phrase it like this: "However, he followed it by starring in a series of films that under-performed at the box office, among which the romantic drama Tamasha earned him critical acclaim."- Semanti Paul (talk) 07:43, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Alright. Added something to that effect. :) As for the picture, I still prefer the current one more than the other options. Krimuk | 90  ( talk ) 15:28, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

Main lead section
On this article he has mentioned as "he has become one of most popular and highest paid actor of Indian Cinema" statement unsourced. Statements like those should be sourced to prove that he is popular and highest paid actor. So many Bollywood actors and actresses articles are exactly like this. Or there is any rule that there is no need for sources in main lead? Any help and opinions... thanks Ambeinghari (talk) 15:23, 4 August 2016 (UTC)

Correction to be made regarding Ranbir Kapoor's film - Tamasha
Corrections have to be made regarding his film Tamasha. The film was initially declared a flop. But after December 2015, as per Indian Box Office, The film became 10th Highest Grossing Indian film Worldwide of 2015 with total lifetime earnings of ₹ 136.63 crores (US $20 million) which is a Box office Hit Indian film. It means Tamasha became another turning point in Ranbir Kapoor's fallen career even before ADHM. Please make the correction in his page.

 * Because... budget. --Krimuk2.0 (talk) 13:14, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

Budget was of 60 crores, film received 136.63 crores which is more than double amount of production, why isnt it profitable film? DarpSinghh (talk) 06:05, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
 * That's incorrect. BOI labels it a flop and we'll call it such. --Krimuk2.0 (talk) 06:16, 5 February 2017 (UTC)

BOI's front page of the film has error..... As per the general rule, any film crossing 100 crores earning is a Box Office HIT, which it is just like Piku DarpSinghh (talk) 05:31, 8 February 2017 (UTC)


 * That's considered WP:OR - substituting your views and judgements rather than using that from reliable sources. Wikipedia, especially on a judgement call like this where we need to say WHO called a film a hit or flop, needs to attribute the claim - COI calls the film a flop/hit.  <b style="color:darkred;">Ravensfire</b> ( talk ) 16:40, 8 February 2017 (UTC)

Fzshant1721 (talk) 20:13, 25 March 2018 (UTC) Hello Wikipedia, I just want to update ranbir kapoor's height which is 183 cm. Google is showing wrong information and i want to update the users. I wont Edit anything more
 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done for now: G'day, this is not the correct place to request extra permissions. You can request the edit be made in a replace x with y format, however, you will need to provide a reliable source that backs up that this is his correct height.
 * Additionally, Google has not sourced the height from Wikipedia, as it is not stated within the article. Try updating it within Google, by searching Ranbir Kapoor height and clicking feedback at the bottom right of the box.
 * Please re-open the request once you have a source by setting answered=no in the template.  —   IVORK  Discuss 23:31, 25 March 2018 (UTC)
