However its Ranbir’s brilliant acting that saves the day. The movie as a whole gets your interest quotient hooked by trying to intervene into the man’s private affairs, sadly the lack of unknown content leaves you disappointed. Hirani could have shown more on the unknown side of the actor rather than just showing what was already available to media and his arguments presented to court. This movie while focuses on father-son relationship, friendship and the man’s sluggish character also does desperately tries to sympathize the man’s action and by how? Showing media as the main antagonist.
#Sanju movie songs full
It's no hiding that Sanjay Dutt’s life has been full of controversies. Manisha as Sanjay’s mother is touching, Anushka’s extended cameo of a writer, Dia Mirza as the wife are other important roles in Sanju. How much of Sanjay’s life is influenced, motivated and subjected to his father’s actions maybe one of the things that Sanju might have taught us. Paresh Kawal as Sunil Dutt, the father of a man who is constantly in headlines makes us shed a tear. By the end of the movie, you are certain to long for a friend like this, surely is Hirani touch indeed. Vicky Kaushal’s endearing play of a trusted friend Kamlesh is set on a backdrop of how much Sanjay Dutt values friendship. While the father-son relationship forms the cream of Sanju, the beautiful friendship that he shares with Kamlesh is a delight to watch. These are some magical moments from Sanju, and surely the ones that elevate the movie’s josh. He advises his son to listen to inspiring music which will provide relief to a pained heart. Here Sunil is seen constantly behind Sanjay during his controversial and testing times by standing tall. Each father has a different approach to his son’s downfall. While the director tries to empathize the actor’s habits, he doesn’t justify his actions as well, which truly is the better side of the movie. What would a rich spoiled dude do? Get into the worst of company and fall into addiction. The director attempts to justify Sanjay’s drug and alcoholic addiction in a convincing style. The tested relationship between a famous dad and his spoiled son becomes the focal point of Sanju. To an extent, Sanju is a great ode to the late Sunil Dutt for the film speaks volumes on how much Sanjay gave respect to his father’s words, how the former MP remained as his aide during high and low times. Rajkumar Hirani works on various angles in Sanju, to some extent we are made to admire Ranbir Kapoor, then its Hirani styled light hearted humor that blends to the end. Sanju sadly sticks to showing what is already known and fails to talk about in depth to what we don’t know. This is no secret and every single man who follows Hindi cinema would know this. Sanjay was a man of heavy drugs, alcoholic, womanizer and of course most importantly always prey to bad company which ultimately led to his downfall. Hirani’s friendship with Sanjay Dutt is a known affair, the director has given a movie that tries to be sympathetic to the man. Instead of treating it like a documentary, Hirani has taken the lighter moments of the actor keeping the emotional drama that he had to go through his life too. Sanju is not about the celebrity called Sanjay Dutt nor is it about the man and his numerous box office movies.

The remarkable transformation into India’s most controversial actor is brought to mainstream cinema with the help of one of the finest directors of Indian cinema - Raj Kumar Hirani. As the movie unveils, Ranbir's acting starts to grow on the character, then you get to see Ranbir in Sanjay’s shoes then post interval you forget Ranbir and only get to see Sanjay Dutt. Biographies are not easy, you have to live, breathe and walk the character. Its safe to say that this is Ranbir's best to date.
