Hirani’s characteristic humour has forced the audience to choose a side, but there is no depth. By then, Sanjay has already been established as a ‘misunderstood’ youth. This phase of Sanju, the film, is totally riding on Ranbir’s shoulders as the director keeps delaying the topic of terrorism, AK 56 and RDX.Īll this comes much later in the film. In Sanju, we witness an immoral womaniser who is ashamed of himself deep down.
The director continues with the sympathetic tone towards his subject as he brings in a new biographer, Vinnie Diaz (Anushka Sharma).
He is unhappy with the comparison as he considers himself an ordinary person. The actor, now in his 50s, gets so furious that he hurls a shoe at the writer. They create a biographer DN Tripathi (Piyush Mishra) who compares Sanjay with Mahatma Gandhi in the very first chapter. Hirani and screenplay writer Abhijat Joshi give a disclaimer of sorts in the beginning with an elaborate scene. Thanks to Ranbir’s nuanced performance, you stay with the movie.

In fact, Sanjay’s relationship with his father Sunil Dutt (Paresh Rawal) forms the major part of this story and some of the most heart wrenching and touching moments in the film belong to both of them. While it doesn’t reveal much about the protagonists’ relationships and marriages, it does tell a strong story of an unbreakable bond between a father, son and a best friend. Like any Rajkumar Hirani film, Sanju blends humour with drama effortlessly. His confessions and recollections to Winnie are intimate and give us deep insights into the highs and lows of his life, which is nothing short of a roller-coaster ride. The film starts off with Sanjay Dutt (Ranbir Kapoor) wanting a writer for his biography even while he’s preparing to surrender himself to the Supreme Court’s judgement in the Arms Act case. Sanju turns to an established writer Winnie (Anushka Sharma) to pen his biography. It gives a lowdown on his tryst with drugs and his trials and tribulations in the Arms Acts case and the 1993 Mumbai blasts. Rajkumar Hirani’s film, ‘Sanju’ explores some of the most crucial chapters from movie star Sanjay Dutt’s dramatic and controversial real life.
