8 Reasons Why No One but Ranveer Could Do the Rex

8 Reasons Why No One but Ranveer Could Do the Rex

In a country where sex is frowned upon despite having the world’s second largest population, it was obvious that condom ads were disregarded for a long time. With things changing and sexuality embraced boldly by the youth, Ranveer Singh has definitely changed the way condom marketers looks at ads. No sleaze, no slimy innuendos. Plain rapture, of the singing and dancing kind, that marks the face of the morning after. Here’s why Ranveer Singh was the only one who could pull this off with such an impish charm.

Devil-May-Care Attitude

Many don’t like Ranveer for his excessive attention seeking quality. But it is exactly the same feature that adds to his charm for those who love him while gaping at him on the large screen. Every muscle pulsing and flexing. He has a certain ‘Entertaining’ quality. Even on Koffee with Karan he imitated Juhi Chawla’s dance moves better than her. If he can pull off that weird fashion sense that he has been adopted for quite a while and be loved, then he can convince an audience to engage in safe sex with an irreverent charm, pants hands down.

Favourable Above Contemporaries

Let’s do a little bit of math here. We have Shahrukh, Aamir, Salman, Saif and Sanjay (don’t worry, he’ll get parole) part of one generation. Obviously the generation above that doesn’t count because they’re not eligible, if you know what I mean. So you don’t want any of the above mentioned 5 around-50 year olds selling you a condom. And among contemporaries, Ranbir Kapoor comes closest because of his silly playboy image. Imran Khan and Arjun Kapoor are best left to college drama. Varun Dhawan wouldn’t be able to control his nipple twitch and Siddharth Malhotra would want to bite off the end thinking it’s an ice cream cone.

Rapping Skills

The new age of rapping has surely added to the brisk communication of the youth. Ranveer Singh did talk about his rapping skills during the shooting of his film Ladies vs Ricky Behl where his skills were brushed under the carpet. But for Durex, he wore his rapping abilities on his sleeve and dished out a crackling rendition.

Sex Image 

‘What a playa!’ (free publicity for Anil Kapoor) is Ranveer’s favourite mimicry line, which has got exchanged with his real life image. That chiselled body with litres of oil (very subtle) lathed on it are meant to evoke sanskari emotions, right? Of course not! His contemporaries have built commendable physiques but the appeal this man carries is not for comparison. In absolutely crass terms, he is known for a certain tharak he generates in his fans.

Because He Can

No offence to Gujju folks but if you can play a Gujarati man and get drool all over him for that, there’s nothing that he cannot pull off as ‘cool’ and accepted. Raam Leela (name changed from ‘Goliyon ki Kahani ghar ghar ki’ because we didn’t have time) gave Ranveer Singh the power in real life to be an eccentric self that would, by no haters’ fury, be considered tacky. He puts the ‘key’ in tacky, but also the sex in the appeal.

Yes we can!

His Thumkas

As mentioned above about the Madhuri-Juhi episode on Koffee With Karan, Ranveer did an impromptu dance jig, something Madhuri built her career on – the one before Nene. Even in this commercial, the-throw-your-hands-up-in-the-air-and-team-it-with-a-pelvic-thrust is more than just raw. It’s endearing.

Dating History

Let’s just say on tracing Ranveer’s dating history, Anushka Sharma and Deepika Padukone pop up. Then you stop your search. And cry for 3 hours. In the bathroom. But given he’s dated two of the hottest women in the industry there’s something he would’ve learnt from them. Or at least they made him so happy that he decided to do a condom commercial. Somewhere, both these girls are giggling right now.

Bromance

When Shahrukh was at the peak of his career, he had women, gay men and straight men swooning over him. His charm was gender agnostic. Like him, Ranveer has the same thing going on with Arjun Kapoor. His bromance makes him special in a way that enables him to have an impact on boys and girls of all ages.
