I found this review very good and look forward to watching the movie tomorrow.
Sanju Movie Review. It's a Classic!
By ankur baruah
"Bad choices in life makes a good story". And Sanjay Dutt's life is 'King' of bad choices!
Yes, Sanjay Dutt life is all about bad choices. And yet, his life story is even more interesting and shocking. Rajkumar Hirani is a master story teller and he proves this again with 'Sanju.' Sanju is easily one of the best biopic to come out in India. Ironically story is about 'controversial' life of Sanjay Dutt.
So, whether it is correct to know about the life of Sanjay Dutt? About his drug addiction, alcoholism, being an womanizer and a certain 'Rifle'. Yes, we think so.
It will tell people two things. First, addiction to drugs and alcohols are bad to oneself, family, friends and society as a whole. Even if, a handful gets this message from the movie 'Sanju', it is a worth product made. Second, Sanjay Dutt had a 'Rifle', but he is/was not a 'Terrorist'. He is in fact a fighter not a coward!
Ranbir Kapoor has given a lifetime of a performance in the epic role of Sanjay Dutt. This is his best. Period! We simply forget about Ranbir and feel that Sanjay is playing the role himself. Job is done. Awards awaits!
Vicky Kaushal as Sanjay Dutt best friend 'Kamlesh' is OUTSTANDING! He revels and even outshines Ranbir in few scenes. Bonding between Ranbir and Vicky in big screen is simply magic. They took the friendship of Sanju and Kamli to next level. Sach mein dost ho to Kamli jaisa, warna naa ho!
Paresh Rawal is a genius. He plays the role of Sunil Dutt and simply owns it. In few of the scenes, his interactions with Ranbir Kapoor will bring tears to one's eyes. Such is the impact!
Rest star cast Sonam Kapoor, Anushka Sharma, Dia Mirza and even Manisha Koirala makes their presence felt in our heart. Each of their respective screen time is short but impactful. Specially one 'Mangalsutra' scene between Sonam and Ranbir which is USP of the first half.
Rajumar Hirani is a 'magician'. Sanju further stamps that. His name brings crowd to the theaters. One would dream to have films like Munnabhai MBBS, Lage Raho Munnabhai, 3 Idiots, PK and now Sanju. There is not a single minus point in the film as far as direction is concerned.
Film screenplay and editing is excellent. Film could have been shorter by 5-10 mins in first half.
Verdict - Sanju is a classic. A must watch for all die hard fans of Sanjay Dut. A must watch for all Ranbir Kapoor fans as this is his best. A must watch for all movie lovers as film teaches us what not to do in life. Film gives a good message to all. It is all about Father-Son relationship. It is also about true friendship and its values.
