Have a look below at the Top 7 Best Male performances of 2023:
1] Vicky Kaushal (Sam Bahadur)
Vicky Kaushal as Sam Manekshaw has to be the best performance of 2023 by a Bollywood actor. Though it’s 2023 and too early to say, but the way Vicky has acted, his performance will surely go down as the top 5 best performances of this decade. If a film could have been regarded as a Masterpiece by only looking at the performance of the lead actor, then Sam Bahadur is no less than a Masterpiece.
2] Ranbir Kapoor (Animal)
Ranbir Kapoor’s performance in Animal proves that no other actor from his generation can compete with him. With Animal, Ranbir proved why he is the greatest actor of his generation. Ranbir’s violent and beast size performance was unbeatable. Ranbir’s character had many layers and he nailed each one of them. This has to be his 2nd career best performance after Sanju.
3] Vikrant Massey (12th Fail)
Vikrant delivered his career best performance 12th Fail. Vikrant completely surrendered himself to the character. Vikrant not only played the role of IPS officer Manoj Kumar Sharma, he played and represented each and every student out there who aspires to be something. Vikrant’s transformation in the film will make you go crazy. 12th Fail was one of the most surprising films of the year, but Vikrant’s performance was not, as he is a very brilliant actor.
4] Abhishek Bachchan (Ghoomer)
Abhishek’s performance in Ghoomer is easily amongst his top 3 best performances of all time. If one has to define Abhishek’s performance in Ghoomer, it seems like in many of the scenes Amitabh Bachchan himself is acting on-screen. Abhishek’s performance was flawless. Ghoomer proves it once again that Abhishek can do wonders, if he gets a powerful role like Ghoomer.
5] Shah Rukh Khan (Jawan)
Shah Rukh Khan is one of the finest actors in our country. In mass films, we don’t care much about the acting and just enjoy the show, but Shah Rukh Khan with his electrifying screen presence made the cinematic experience much richer. Shah Rukh Khan was seen in 6 to 7 different looks and had a double role in the film. SRK nailed each and every look and performed high octane action sequences which made audiences go gaga. 2023 belonged to SRK, as he also won the hearts of the viewers with Pathaan and Dunki.
6] Jaideep Ahlawat (Jaane Jaan)
Jaideep Ahlawat’s performance in Jaane Jaan was one of the major highlights of the film. His character kept the audience on their toes. He made this challenging role look so easy. Jaideep looked unrecognizable and gave a flawless performance.
7] Manoj Bajpayee (Joram)
Manoj Bajpayee is a legend of acting and he delivered 3 back to back wonderful performances in 2023. It’s very hard to decide which performance of Manoj Bajpayee in 2023 tops the chart, as he was equally good in Gulmohar, Sirf ek Bandaa Kaafi Hai and Joram, but if we have to choose one, Joram definitely tops the list. The way Manoj expresses his pain and fights for his rights was commendable. Manoj Bajpayee’s performance in Joram was the main highlight of the film.
