Following the release of Black, Bhansali cast Kapoor as the protagonist of his 2007 tragic romance Saawariya alongside Sonam Kapoor and Rani Mukerji. The film tells the story of a tramp, Ranbir Raj, who falls obsessively in love with a woman awaiting the return of her lover. In an interview with the news and entertainment portal Rediff.com, Kapoor stated that his character in the film was written to pay a "conscious tribute" to his grandfather Raj Kapoor. Saawariya was the first Indian film to be produced by a Hollywood studio (Sony Pictures Entertainment), and was a highly anticipated release. Film critics were disappointed with the picture; BBC's Jaspreet Pandohar called the film a "misfire on a massive scale" and CNN-IBN's Rajeev Masand considered it "contrived and fake". Masand, however, was impressed by Kapoor's "affable charm" and added that "he’s got that star quality to him which is so rare to find." At the box office, Saawariya proved to be an economic failure. However, at the annual Filmfare Awards ceremony, Kapoor was awarded with a Best Male Debut trophy.
Despite the commercial failure of Saawariya, Kapoor was contracted by Yash Raj Films (a leading Bollywood studio) for a primary role in the Siddharth Anand-directed romantic comedy Bachna Ae Haseeno (2008). The film was his first commercial success, in which his role was that of Raj Sharma, a womaniser who is romantically involved with three women (played by Bipasha Basu, Minissha Lamba, and Deepika Padukone) at different stages of his life.
In 2009 Kapoor featured in three films—Wake Up Sid, Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani, and Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year. He won the Filmfare Critics Award for Best Actor for his performances in these films, and received Best Actor nominations at the ceremony for the first two. In Dharma Productions's Wake Up Sid, a coming of age film from director Ayan Mukerji, Kapoor portrayed Siddharth "Sid" Malhotra, a rich, lazy teenager whose life undergoes a series of changes after interacting with an ambitious journalist (played by Konkana Sen Sharma). When Mukerji narrated the then-untitled script of the film to him, Kapoor came up with the title himself. Media reports described the film as an "unconventional romance" between a younger man and an older woman, and expressed doubt on its economic prospects. It eventually emerged as a sleeper hit and received acclaim from the critics. Both Kapoor and Sen Sharma's performances were praised;Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama labelled Kapoor's performance "award-worthy" and wrote that "in Wake Up Sid he proves that he's amongst the best in the business today."
Kapoor's next appearance was opposite Katrina Kaif in Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani, a comedy from director Rajkumar Santoshi . The film was generally well received by the critics, and emerged as the third highest-grossing film of 2009. Kapoor described his next release, the Shimit Amin-directed drama Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year, to be an "underdog story" and added that his character (a sardar) was that of a "middle-class guy, who wants to be a salesman". For the role, he grew a beard to "get into the skin of the character". Film critic Mayank Shekhar found his performance in the film to be "astonishingly sincere" and The New York Times commended him for "turning in a skilfully understated performance". Despite receiving praise from critics, the film failed to recover its investment. In an 2010 interview with Bollywood Hungama, Kapoor said that Rocket Singh was a movie that he "truly believed in", and professed to being highly disappointed by its commercial failure.
Prakash Jha's big-budget ensemble political thriller Raajneeti was Kapoor's first release of 2010. The film, which starred Nana Patekar,Ajay Devgn, Arjun Rampal, Manoj Bajpayee, Katrina Kaif and Sarah Thompson in prominent roles, was inspired by the Indian epic The Mahabharata and Mario Puzo's 1969 novel The Godfather. Kapoor's role was that of Samar Pratap (based on the characters of Arjuna and Michael Corleone), the youngest heir of an Indian political dynasty, who is reluctantly drawn to politics after the assassination of his father. He received a third Best Actor nomination at Filmfare. In an interview with the Press Trust of India, Kapoor described the character of Pratap to be a departure from the "lover boy roles" that he had established a reputation of portraying. Nikhat Kazmi of The Times of India reviewed, "The film finally belongs to Ranbir Kapoor who perfects the art of minimalism – and literally grows before your eyes – as the simmering volcano that cannot be held back, once it erupts." Robert Abele of the Los Angeles Times, however, was more critical of his performance which he considered "stony rather than calculating—especially jarring compared to the histrionic turns around him". Indian trade journalists were apprehensive of Rajneeti recovering its 600 million (US$9.2 million) investment. The film, however, surpassed trade expectations and proved a major commercial success with worldwide earnings of over 1.43 billion (US$22 million).
That same year, Kapoor collaborated with Priyanka Chopra on Anand's Anjaana Anjaani, a dramedy involving two strangers who vow to commit suicide on New Year's Eve. The film received little praise from the critics, and was a moderate economic success. Rajeev Masand noted that Kapoor "struggles with a badly-defined role" and NDTV's Anupama Chopra concluded, "Ranbir tries hard to salvage the film, dropping his shirt several times but even his lovingly shot chest can’t save the film."
Following an item number in the children's film Chillar Party (2011), Kapoor took the role of Janardhan "Jordan" Jakhar in Imtiaz Ali's Rockstar, a drama that follows the journey of an aspiring musician (belonging to Pitam Pura, a residential neighbourhood in New Delhi) to international stardom. In preparation for the role, Kapoor lived with a Jat family in Pitam Pura and "studied their mannerisms". He additionally learnt to play the guitar and practised extensively at A.R. Rahman's (the film's music composer) studio. As part of the film's promotional activity, Kapoor performed at a live concert at Bhavan's College in Mumbai. Film critics were polarised on their view of the film, but were unanimous in their praise for Kapoor; Aniruddha Guha of Daily News and Analysis was particularly impressed with the film and wrote, "Ranbir’s portrayal of Jordan may go down as one of Hindi cinema’s most accomplished performances by a lead actor." For the role, he won both the Best Actor and Best Actor (Critics) trophies at the 57th Filmfare Awards ceremony, along with Best Actor awards at Screen and IIFA. With a gross revenue of 1.07 billion (US$16 million), Rockstarwas one of the top-grossing Indian films of the year.
The 2012 romantic comedy Barfi! was Kapoor's first release to earn over 1 billion (US$15 million) at the domestic box office (it had a worldwide revenue of 1.75 billion (US$27 million)). Directed byAnurag Basu, the film (set in the 1970s) tells the story of its titular protagonist (a deaf and mute man, played by Kapoor) who falls in love with a woman who is already engaged (played by Ileana D'Cruz) and later, an autistic girl (played by Priyanka Chopra). For his portrayal, Kapoor was inspired by the work of actors Roberto Benigni,Charlie Chaplin, and his grandfather Raj Kapoor. Barfi! received praise from the critics, and the performances of the three lead actors were acclaimed. Variety noted that "Kapoor, like his famous actor/director grandfather Raj Kapoor before him, channels Chaplin in tone and affect" and Raja Sen of Rediff.com credited him as a "truly special leading man". The film was submitted as India’s official entry for the 85th Academy Awards, and was screened at the Marrakech and Busan International Film Festivals. Kapoor won second consecutive Best Actor awards at the Filmfare, Screen, and IIFA Award ceremonies.
Kapoor achieved further success when he reunited with director Ayan Mukerji for the 2013 romantic comedy Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani. He played Kabir "Bunny" Thapar, a commitment-phobic photographer, alongside Deepika Padukone, Kalki Koechlin, and Aditya Roy Kapoor. Kapoor found the character of Bunny to be an extension of his real self, and in an interview with The Express Tribune described his biggest challenge in playing the role: "I had to then play him using my own experiences as references which I found to be quite difficult. How do I play myself without making it boring? [..] We had to think very carefully when adding dimensions to him without compromising on the believability part of it." His pairing with Padukone, after their highly publicised break-up, led to a strong buzz surrounding the film's release. Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani eventually opened to record-breaking collections, and emerged as the fourth highest-grossing Bollywood film of all time with earnings of over 3 billion (US$46 million); it also proved Kapoor's third consecutive commercial success in three years. Film critics found the film to be "riddled with clichés", but praised both Kapoor and Padukone, with Daily News and Analysis' Tushar Joshi labelling their on-screen chemistry as "unsurpassable".
Kapoor's second release of the year was the action-comedy film Besharam in which he played Babli, a petty thief, alongside Pallavi Sharda and his parents, Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Singh. The film met with an overwhelming negative reaction from the critics and Sudhish Kamath of The Hindu described it as "Kapoor's hall of shame". Commercially, Besharam proved to be a flop. As of October 2013, Kapoor has three other films in production for a 2014 release. He is filming with Anushka Sharma, Raveena Tandon and Karan Johar for Anurag Kashyap's period film Bombay Velvet, and has been signed on to appear in a supporting role for Vicky Singh's romantic thriller Roy, alongside Arjun Rampal and Jacqueline Fernandez. He will also launch a production company named Picture Shuru Productions in a collaboration with director Anurag Basu; their first production—the comedy-mystery film Jagga Jasoos—will feature Kapoor (alongside Katrina Kaif) in the role of a 17 year old detective.
