Back in 1973, when Amitabh Bachchan starred in Prakash Mehra’s 'Zanjeer', his fiery performance led to the birth of ‘The Angry Young Man.’ This anger continued with films like 'Deewar', 'Trishul', and 'Kaala Patthar'. The legacy was carried forward by Sunny Deol in the 90s with 'Ghayal', 'Damini, Ghatak', 'Ziddi', and 'Gadar: Ek Prem Katha'.

From 2009 onwards, a certain actor called Ranbir Kapoor began to channel his man-child demeanour who refuses to grow up and is perpetually lost in his own world. It takes someone to guide him and show him some light. In many ways, he could be called- 'The Lost Young Man'. This is one genre he has mastered in, with names like 'Wake Up Sid', 'Rockstar', and 'Tamasha'. In all three of them, a woman became his symbol of strength and success.
