Ranbir Kapoor's recently released magnum opus Brahmastra is receiving rave reviews from the netizens but has won the cash registers at the box office. There have been some fans whose eagle eyes have observed that Ranbir's character Shiva looks like a rip-off of his previous characters from Ayan Mukerji's films who have also directed this fantasy-action film. Let us look at some of these similarities.
The vibe
If you look at Ranbir Kapoor's character from Brahmastra, the child-like, spontaneous and energetic aura that his character radiates is exactly same to his characters from Ayan Mukerji's movies Wake Up Sid and Yeh Jawaani Hai DeewaniThe search for the bigger purpose
Just like Ranbir Kapoor's character Shiva realizes that he is meant for a lot bigger purpose in his life, his characters from Wake Up Sid and YJHD too had phase of self-realization when their characters had a profound evolution. The dance gigs
Remember Ranbir Kapoor's Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani character breaking into an impromptu dance with Madhuri Dixit when he was introduced in the film? Well, Shiva dancing on Dance Ka Booth radiates almost the same vibe. The phase of being 'lost'
While Ranbir Kapoor's Shiva remains perplexed as he is plagued by some premonitions of him being 'Agniastra', Ranbir's character from Wake Up Sid struggled to find ambition in his life while his YJHD character struggled to stay in touch with his familial roots after being too engrossed in pursuing his dreams Evolution as a new individual
Ranbir Kapoor's Shiva rekindles himself as a human being after realizing the divinity of his powers which helps him to lead the battle against evil. While his characters from Wake Up Sid and YJHD also undergo a complete transformation making him more mature as an individual, bettering his relationships with his family and friends. Dependent on a love interest to 'alter' him
While Brahmastra's Shiva is hugely dependent on his love interest Isha to be the 'button' to his powers, Ranbir's YJHD character Bunny realizes his love for Deepika Padukone's Naina after an intense time with her. On the other hand, Wake Up Sid's Sid literally evolves as a mature, empathetic and more responsible individual after living with Konkona Sen's Aisha.
