Sanju - Movie Review

His troubled marriage with Richa Sharma also is shown in the movie. He fights a court case for custody of his daughter. Finally he marries Maanyata and is happy with her. His close friend Kamlesh (Vicky Kaushal) and Zubin (Jim Sarbh) are also seen in the movie. Sanju was also called a terrorist, was it an allegation? Did Sanju do something he should not have done? The entire life of Sanjay Dutt is explored in the movie.

Ranbir Kapoor has done a perfect job doing justice to all emotions. Vicky Kaushal – the upcoming talent – has done his career’s best role. Paresh Rawal as Sunil Dutt has portrayed his character beautifully. Manisha Koirala as Nargis Dutt has the same charm as the former actress. Anushka Sharma is jovial and has played her part well. Sonam Kapoor has a short role but plays her part gracefully.

Har Maidan Fateh is like an inspirational anthem, Main Badhiya is quite good and Ruby pumps up the mood in the movie.

Another feather in cap for Rajkumar Hirani. Entertaining, emotional, suprises on the way – totally watchable movie. Go book your tickets now!
