Happy Birthday Ranbir Kapoor: Rise and fall of B-town’s ‘Besharam’
Lucknow: Rise and downfall in the glamour world is somewhat like a rule. In some phase or the other in his or her career, every actor goes through this and has to move ahead to deliver the best for the next. Actor Ranbir Kapoor, who is still among the A-listers in Bollywood, is goint through a lean patch since ‘Besharam’ to ‘Bombay Velvet’ fell flat and Ranbir is now looking forward to recreate his amazing acting talent for his upcoming flick ‘Tamasha’ with ex-girlfriend Deepika Padukone.
Actor Ranbir Kapoor, who has proved that the acting blood runs deep through his veins after making debut with Sanjay Leela Bhansali in ‘Saawariya’. The towel-dropping act in the song ‘Jabse Tere Naine Mere Nainon Se Laage Re’ put him in the next superstar or likely ‘Baadshah’ of the B-town category. He also turned out to be the next ‘Hot’ topic among girls.
After becoming the new heartthrob of the B-town, Ranbir Kapoor was casted in YashRaj’s Bachna Ae Haseeno in which he performed a playboy character, which suited his charming and sugary face and as a result the movie emerged out as blockbuster and put Ranbir’s acting graph to the rise. Ranbir Kapoor never looked back and performed incredible acting in movies like ‘Wake Up Sid’, ‘Rocket Singh: Salesman of The Year’ ‘Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahaani’ and a grey-shade character in ‘Raajneeti’.
However, the time that turned out as pinnacle for him when he signed Imtitiaz Ali’s Rockstar. The character of Janardhan ‘Jordan’ Jakhar turned out as an iconic role of Ranbir’s life and set him among the group of leading stars in the B-town. Another succeeding movie in the next year emerged out as ‘Barfi!’ in which the talented actor played a mute and deaf titular role, was almost a stamp of confirmation on Ranbir’s supremacy as an actor.
In the year 2012, Ranbir succeeded in retaining the line of his blockbuster movies with ‘Yeh Jaawani Hai Deewani’ with ex-flame Deepika Padukone. The magical chemistry between lovers in the past received positive appreciation from audience hence the movie became one of highest grossers of the year.
The winning streak of Ranbir Kapoor has come to an end after he worked in ‘Besharam’ and put himself in Kapoor’s Hall Of Shame. In 2014, Ranbir Kapoor, who was in a dynamic role in ‘Roy’, exploded the expectations of his audience and tasted another disappointment at Box office.
Ranbir Kapoor, who starred opposite Anushka Sharma in Anurag Kashyap’s ‘Bombay Velvet’, failed miserably at box office and put his career from bad to worse.
Despite of having a downfall in the career, Ranbir Kapoor is still chasing to catch his strong position in the box office and will soon be seen in movies ‘Tamasha’ opposite ex-lover Deepika Padukone, which is all set to release on November 27, and ‘Jagga Jasoos’, opposite current alleged girlfriend Katrina Kaif.
‘Tamasha’s trailer has recently been released and has been getting good reviews. Let’s hope this popular Jodi recreates the same strong chemistry produced in ‘Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani’.
The pairs of Ranbir-Imtiaz and Ranbir-Anurag worked amazingly in ‘Rockstar’ and ‘Barfi !’ respectively, and can be expected to recreate the magic again.
Actor Ranbir Kapoor has turned 33 today. Happy Birthday to you Sugary Boy!
International online casino Casino Days has published a report sharing their internal data on what types and brands of devices are used to play on the platform by users from the South Asian region.
Such aggregate data analyses allow the operator to optimise their website for the brands and models of devices people are actually using.
The insights gained through the research also help Casino Days tailor their services based on the better understanding of their clients and their needs.
Desktops and Tablets Lose the Battle vs Mobile
The primary data samples analysed by Casino Days reveal that mobile connections dominate the market in South Asia and are responsible for a whopping 96.6% of gaming sessions, while computers and tablets have negligible shares of 2.9% and 0.5% respectively.
The authors of the study point out that historically, playing online casino was exclusively done on computers, and attribute thе major shift to mobile that has unfolded over time to the wide spread of cheaper smartphones and mobile data plans in South Asia.
“Some of the reasons behind this massive difference in device type are affordability, technical advantages, as well as cheaper and more obtainable internet plans for mobiles than those for computers,” the researchers comment.
Xiaomi and Vivo Outperform Samsung, Apple Way Down in Rankings
Chinese brands Xiaomi and Vivo were used by 21.9% and 20.79% of Casino Days players from South Asia respectively, and together with the positioned in third place with a 18.1% share South Korean brand Samsung dominate the market among real money gamers in the region.
Cupertino, California-based Apple is way down in seventh with a user share of just 2.29%, overshadowed by Chinese brands Realme (11.43%), OPPO (11.23%), and OnePlus (4.07%).
Huawei is at the very bottom of the chart with a tiny share just below the single percent mark, trailing behind mobile devices by Motorola, Google, and Infinix.
The data on actual phone usage provided by Casino Days, even though limited to the gaming parts of the population of South Asia, paints a different picture from global statistics on smartphone shipments by vendors.
Apple and Samsung have been sharing the worldwide lead for over a decade, while current regional leader Xiaomi secured their third position globally just a couple of years ago.
Striking Android Dominance among South Asian Real Money Gaming Communities
The shifted market share patterns of the world’s top smartphone brands in South Asia observed by the Casino Days research paper reveal a striking dominance of Android devices at the expense of iOS-powered phones.
On the global level, Android enjoys a comfortable lead with a sizable 68.79% share which grows to nearly 79% when we look at the whole continent of Asia. The data on South Asian real money gaming communities suggests that Android’s dominance grows even higher and is north of the 90% mark.
Among the major factors behind these figures, the authors of the study point to the relative affordability of and greater availability of Android devices in the region, especially when manufactured locally in countries like India and Vietnam.
“And, with influencers and tech reviews putting emphasis on Android devices, the choice of mobile phone brand and OS becomes easy; Android has a much wider range of products and caters to the Asian online casino market in ways that Apple can’t due to technical limitations,” the researchers add.
The far better integration achieved by Google Pay compared to its counterpart Apple Pay has also played a crucial role in shaping the existing smartphone market trends.
