After listing down the female actors who surprised us this year. Here’s a list of male actors who bowled us over with their performances!
Kunal Kapoor
While we haven’t seen much of Kunal Kapoor in the last couple of years, the man certainly is making up for it now! The actor has managed to keep us glued to the screen with his movies, pulling off different characters like no man’s business. Didn’t you just love the hot, casual, easy going guy he portrayed in Dear Zindagi?
Sushant Singh Rajput
Sushant Singh Rajput has proved his mettle in films time & again. And that’s why, it came as no surprise when the actor’s latest release entered the 100 crore club. His portrayal of one of the most loved cricketers around the world was to the point, and extremely impressive.
Jim Sarbh
Most people were unaware of his name; until they saw him perform as a terrorist in Neerja. While we hated the character he played in the film, one can’t deny that his performance stayed on our minds long after the film was over.
Randeep Hooda
Over the years, Randeep Hooda has played a number of challenging roles in the film industry. But, his transformation for Sarabjit was not only distinctive visually but also created an impact. His acting kept us hooked & raised the standard of the film to another level.
Rajkumar Rao
Rajkumar Rao’s performances so far have been flawless in every film. His knack to enter the skin of every character has won him a lot of critical acclaim over the years. His portrayal of Deepu Sebastian in ‘Aligarh’ has been one such strong performance in 2016.
R. Madhavan
This chocolate-boy of B-Town has kept us enthralled with his roles since his first film. And this year, the Sala Khadoos (not really) carried the role of a tough coach with perfection. The strict, controlling yet motivating boxer trains a fisherwoman to find redemption. It was a treat to watch him in a different avatar!
Manoj Bajpayee
Manoj Bajpayee doesn’t just play a character, he stirs emotions of the viewers with his acting. He owns ‘Aligarh’ with his screen presence & performance. Bajpayee knows his strengths & makes the journey of a victimized professor look as real as it gets.
Fawad Khan
Fawad Khan started his journey with TV & created a sensation when he entered Bollywood. He played the role of a closeted gay guy in the family drama, Kapoor & Sons, and never once made it look unlikely or over-the-top. Good looks aside, you have to agree the actor in him is a class apart.
Every journey showcases a story of its own! These men have definitely come out as the top performers in 2016! Share your pick in the comments below.
