Never seen a more whitewashed account.

^what proof do u have? None!

Almost every single biopic glorifies the subject-matter in question. Paints that person out to be a really endearing/amazing person despite his or her flaws and makes him/her a victim of circumstances. Its jarring in Sanju because unlike say a Savitri or MSD, Sanjay Dutt is not a revered hero and has been involved in several cases including something as sensitive as a bomb blast. And Hirani is a close friend so it was but obvious that the film will justify him (irrespective of portraying his womanizing ways and drug addiction). Its no surprise that Hirani is being defensive here. I hated the glorification but it doesn't take away Hirani's talent as a filmmaker and Abhijat's competence as a writer. And of course the brilliance of the cast (Ranbir, Vicky in particular). I think we can acknowledge both cos they are mutually exclusive. Yes the film blatantly glorifies Dutt. Yes Hirani is an amazing filmmaker and yes RK and Vicky were kickass in the film 😆

It was widely believed in political circles that Sunil Dutt's family was being targeted by a section of the Congress leadership for resigning in a huff from his Lok Sabha membership after the Babri Masjid demolition and the communal riots in Mumbai. In fact, throughout Sanjay Dutt's arrest, Pawar was suspected to be behind the family's ordeals. In those troubled times, it was Shiv Sena supremo Balasaheb Thackeray who stood by the actor, despite their glaring ideological differences. Sunil Dutt would later acknowledge Thackeray's help with a deep sense of gratitude.
Priya says Sunil Dutt would sometimes be overwhelmed by a sense of guilt, thinking that had he not resigned as Lok Sabha member or protested publicly against the communal riots in Mumbai following the Babri Masjid demolition, Sanjay might not have been targeted by the authorities.

Still the 'whitewashed' biopic not only outgrossed the long forgotten padmaavat but also made a far bigger impact too...so deal with it 😉
