Bobby Deol's Popularity over time
Height, Weight & Measurements
Bobby Deol stands at approximately 5 feet 10 inches (178 cm) tall and weighs around 80 kg (176 lbs). His body measurements, which are often the topic of discussion among fans, are 42-34-16 (chest-waist-biceps) respectively. With a fit physique and an engaging presence, he continues to be one of the defining figures in the Indian film industry.
He reunited with Sunny Deol for the failed historical drama 23rd March 1931: Shaheed (2002), where he and his brother portrayed the roles of freedom fighters Bhagat Singh and Chandra Shekhar Azad respectively.
Set in British India, the film depicts the events leading up to the hanging of Bhagat Singh and his companions Rajguru and Sukhdev on 23 March 1931.
With the film receiving polarising reviews, Rediff.com believed the movie had plenty of good moments, and plenty of bad ones and believed the film was superior to that of the original on Bhagat Singh, although they believed the agony of Bhagat Singh's fight was underplayed, diminishing the brutality and anguish suffered in the real-life event.
While Deol was praised for some scenes, he was criticised for his loud acting and Rediff.com believed he was overshadowed by Ajay Devgan in The Legend of Bhagat Singh remarking, "In terms of performance, Devgan is clearly the winner, with the advantage of a stronger script and a better director.
Devgan, who reportedly lost weight to look the part, is today emerging as one of India's finest actors, willing to try out different roles. Deol tries his best, but it is difficult to shout and act simultaneously."
