Birthday boy Ranveer Singh is the complete package when it comes to a Bollywood star – an intensely involved method-actor, the uncrowned king of quirk with a whacky, much-loved sartorial sense, part of the elusive celebrity power couple clique, and one of the most energetic and enthusiastic dancers in Bollywood today.
What makes Ranveer’s dance so endearing is that he can pull off all the moves of a Bittoo Sharma, Ricky Bahl, Ram, Bajirao to even an Allaudin Khilji, with almost equal elan! Here is a list of the all-time top favourites of his dance tracks…
Ainvayi Ainvayi
Ranveer began to showcase his dancing skills right from his first film ‘Band Baaja Baaraat’ over a decade ago.
He was the new guy-next-door then, and matched his steps perfectly with another fabulous dancer of that time, Anushka Sharma, in this Salim Merchant-Sunidhi Chauhan song, penned by Amitabh Bhattacharya.
Ranveer’s quirky dance moves to this peppy wedding number were spot on!

Aadat se Majboor
‘Ladies VS Ricky Bahl’ was Ranveer’s second film, yet his confidence as a dancer shone through.
Not many know, but this is the song where Ranveer rapped for the first time, while Benny Dayal sang.
This track was not just about his dance but also about the tons of au naturel attitude that the badass Ranveer exuded.
Dum Dum
This track from the film ‘Band Baaja Baaraat’, composed by the inimitable Salim-Sulaiman, sung by Benny Dayal-Himani Kapoor, and written by Amitabh Bhattacharya, had Ranveer show off his skilful dance moves on stage just like any seasoned Bollywood actor would, despite this being his debut.
His wavy hair did a dance of its own though, and the fans totally hearted it!
Gallan Goodiyan
Well into his career by 2015, Ranveer was all magic in ‘Dil Dhadakne Do’s’ ‘Gallan Goodiyan’ as he matched steps with his on-screen-sister Priyanka Chopra.
Though this was a multi-celeb song with powerful characters all around, Ranveer’s performance stood out in this multi-singer number, composed by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy and written by Javed Akhtar.
Khalibali
That Ranveer is a fab actor comes across effortlessly in this energetic victory dance.
‘Khalibali’ from ‘Padmaavat’ is irrevocably one of his all-time best performances.
What added to it was of course Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s iconic music, Shivam Pathak’s voice and AM Turaz’s words.
Ganesh Acharya’s unconventional choreography was executed perfectly by Ranveer – fast steps, great footwork, clean sharp moves and the menacing persona to boot, makes this a video that you just cannot ignore.
Malhari
‘Bajirao Mastani’s’ ‘Malhari’ is all about Ranveer’s perfect rhythm, faultless timing and inimitable facial expressions.
The natural grace of this folk dance and his skilful execution of the steps, go on to make this number rank high among his much-loved performances.
Sung by Vidhal Dadlani, penned by Prashant Ingole, this SLB track is easily among Ranveer’s best performances.
Nashe Si Chadh Gayi
This song easily tops popularity charts thanks to the dancing couple Vaani Kapoor and Ranveer’s slick, drool-worthy dance moves.
Ranveer’s clean and easy moves bring in the necessary charm to this sensual dance number from ‘Befikre’.
Needless to say that Vishal-Shekhar’s addictive beats and Arijit Singh’s perfect rendition, add to it.
Pehli Baar
While this track starts out with Ranveer groovin slowly, it goes on to pick up pace and grows into a spirited number with casual and fun, animated moves.
Even his twirls, jumps, quirky retro steps with Anushka Sharma, in this energetic track, sung by Siddharth Mahadevan and Sukriti Kakkar, Ranveer still holds forth as a graceful dancer.
His uninhibited camaraderie and palpable chemistry between Ranveer-Anushka adds to this video.
Tattad Tattad
Ranveer’s hook step in this song from ‘Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela’ became a super-hit among the masses as soon as the song video premiered.
Going shirtless to show off his perfect torso, to breaking all records with his unbound energy, fabulous footwork, cheeky, yet, oh-so-hot look, this SLB song by Aditya Narayan had girls swooning, and not just in the video.
Thug Le
To say that Ranveer’s dance in ‘Thug Le’ from ‘Ladies VS Ricky Bahl’, was anything short of electrifying, would be an understatement of sorts.
What makes this such a fab one is the fact that he just loves dancing, and it shows.
He is just another synonym to energy in this super power-packed performance.
This foot-tapping dance number by Salim-Sulaiman was sung by Vishal Dadalni and Shweta Pandit.
Tune Maari Entriyaan
Ranveer easily owns the quaint old-school feel of this dance video in ‘Gunday’with his matchless spunk.
The fact that he is not a slave to any particular genre is evident in this retro performance.
Composed by Sohail Sen, this multi-singer number has Ranveer and Arjun Kapoor matching steps to Priyanka Chopra.
