The year 2015 wasn’t just about phenomenal performances and great films. It was a year that gave movie buffs multiple reasons to rejoice as conventional topics and done-to-death formulas took a backseat. While the eventful 2015 saw its share of disappointments, it did surprise many as successful films didn’t only stick to big production houses. There were several small budget and independent films which were impressive in their own niche ways. Some performances left us in awe, some disappointed us. Few characters were made memorable by the star, in some characters made a star.
In the third edition of IBNLive Movie Awards, we select nominees in various popular categories and allow our readers decide the outcome. Take our poll to vote and choose your favourite actor of 2015.
Amitabh Bachchan for 'Piku'
Amitabh Bachchan played grumpy, hypochondriac Bhaskor Banerjee to perfection in Shoojit Sircar's 'Piku'. A slice of life film, Big B played father to Deepika Padukone's character.
Ayushman Khurrana for 'Dum Laga Ke Hiasha'
We were missing Ayushman Khurrana. After two dismissive performances last year, the multi-talented actor bounced back with 'Dum Laga Ke Haisha'. He played a small towner who runs a cassette business and is insecure of his educated wife. Laced with humour, his performance and the film made us remember feel good cinema of early '90s.
Akshay Kumar for 'Baby'
Akshay Kumar has aced this role by now but even then we loved his undercover special task force character to the hilt in 'Baby'. Restarint acting, it was a far contrast from Kumar's other film this year 'Singh Is Bling'.
Ranveer Singh for 'Bajirao Mastani'
Take a bow Ranveer Singh. You have come a long way from playing Bittu Sharma in 'Band Baaja Baraat' to the regal Peshwa in 'Bajiaro Mastani'. What a transformation and not a single slip from the character throughout the film.
Irrfan Khan for 'Talvar'
Is there any role that Irrfan Khan can't do? The actor played CBI officer who investigates a murder case in 'Talvar'. Fine nuanced performance by Khan makes him a contender for this list.
Varun Dhawan for 'Badlapur'
Who would have though that Varun Dhawan could be capable of playing such a dark character like Raghu in 'Badlapur'. But Dhawan manages to stun one and all in this intense thriller.
Ranbir Kapoor for 'Tamasha'
Ranbir Kapoor perhaps delivers his best performances in Imtiaz Ali's films. In 'Tamasha' Ranbir plays a regular office-goer who harbours interests to become a story teller. From being an eccentric, fun stranger to a boring ordinary man- Ranbir shows an immense range in his acting.
Nawazuddin Siddiqui for 'Manjhi- The Mountain Man'
Nawazuddin Siddiqui turned heads with his powerful performance as Dasharath Manjhi in 'Manjhi- The Mountain Man'. Siddiqui proves just how outstanding and charismatic an actor he is with his performance, again. The film might or might not strike the chords with your heart but Siddiqui's realistic acting will!
