Boxoffy Read
Ayan Mukerji's Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani is the film that made Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone the decade's defining romantic pairing — a story about friendship and ambition and the specific loss that comes from wanting the world so much you forget to want the people in it. Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy's score gave 'Balam Pichkari' and 'Badtameez Dil' to the decade's celebratory vocabulary. The film's ₹195 Cr collection confirmed Ranbir Kapoor's commercial peak.
