Sanju – Good story of a bad boy.
Why would one like to watch a
biography? Of course for learning !
So, why would you like to watch a
Sanjay Dutt Biography? Of cour…..
Hmm.. That’s how one may be in a
dilemma… A Bad Boy in real life, a
hero of reel life- How can he make
up to be an ideal for the society? Well, Rajkumar Hiarani’s Sanju ! leave all baffled till you
go & watch the classic work of Ranbir as Sanjay Dutt.
The movie touches the life of Sanjay Dutt right from his first movie, to his drug addict days,
his court case and eventually the comeback. The demonstration begins with a real life wish of
publishing his autobiography & that makes him to meet a famous writer whom he narrates his
story. Certainly a Bad Boy of the family leaves no wrong emotions untouched, struggles to
surpass his drug addict phase in life and no sooner than later the stardom drags him to
establish connect with the Underworld. And then starts the series of legal complications, the
journey from being stamped as Terrorist to his imprisonment under Arms act. Eventually
story ends in 2015 post his release from Jail. One may find a known story being demonstrated
on screen with no element of positivity. However there comes the surprise package i.e., his
friend at USA, basically from Gujarat, India. A fan of senior Mr. Dutt & Mrs. Dutt, incidently
meets Sanju in USA while Nargis Dutt was being operated for Cancer. The demonstration
becomes stronger with this element of friendship in the movie. Well, that’s not all, this movie
is also of his Father – Mr. Sunil Dutt. Parish Rawal has done absolute justice and the
demonstration of the story would have been incomplete without the father’s struggle &
patience. All in all, it’s a movie to watch for a real life story, a friend’s support and a father’s
affection. What you miss in the movie is the childhood of Sanjay Dutt and his early marriage
life. The story accommodates his Third wife Manyatta & her belief on him. What could have
been avoided in the movie are a few dialogues that may not suit family audience emotions,
but that’s the challenge of real life stories, one can’t manipulate, it has to be real.
The movie is an emotional plot that teaches the importance of being precious for the family.
It spreads the message of having philosophy & purpose in life. Sanju! has touched the heart
of people not because he is good, but a demonstration that bad potentially looks like him. A
serious attempt is made in the movie to show the Media’s role in the court cases, hope media
takes sportingly. Sanju ! may not be an Ideal for society, but certainly a fighter. Every movie
has a meaning; it’s time to understand it & get inspired….. Enjoy the movie Sanju! and
cherish the moments.
