While Ranbir as Sanjay Dutt looks just WOW - I swear I couldn't even tell the diff in a few scenes..... that aside, I have no idea what kind of movie this is. But again, I have been one of the doubters ever since they announced it.
When Sunil Dutt met Sanjay in prison and told him it looks bleak, that was a pretty shaking moment for him. Wonder if this movie will have this scene with Sanjay himself playing his dad. Its just weird when you make biopics about people still around and working.

Looks amazing in some parts ... and looks very jaded in others. Mixed feelings about this one. Also i agree with gangsta. Its odd to see biopics of people who are still working in their field

Are they going to be honest about what he did or are we supposed to be feel sorry and see him like a victim. All that being slapped by the police is sure to make us feel sorry for him. Sorry but I don't. He was lucky the played Munna and people think HE IS MUNNA, which is why they want to forgive and forget. But sorry he is no victim he suffered what he brought onto himself.

Apparently in Bollywood, anyone who gets caught doing something illegal goes on a trip to prove that he/she has a "heart of gold" and then all mistakes are forgotten and they get tagged with Bhai and Baba and what not Anyways, with regards to Sanjay Dutt, he has sort of done the time for this crimes. About as much time as if possible for a big celebrity in India. I hope they wont pass his crimes off as "mistakes" and "foolishness of youth", and address it properly

Hirani’s take on Sanju - Madhuri love story will be interesting.

Agreed! But they have the movie titled "Sanju", so its already sounding like a "loving" ode to a man they obviously adore. Remember all his phone calls to Chotta Rajan (or Abu Salim was it, one of those guys).... Doubt the movie will feature any of that either.

Ranbir is back ! This film alongside Zero are the only Hindi movies i am looking forward to in 2018.

First day 34 Cr it may be even go higher. This is tight slap to those who fights for just single holiday and ended with clash and kills the potential of the movie. Bahubali, baagi, padmawat and now sanju. Sanju will do min 105-110 Cr in first 3 days.

This Holiday releases are a myth of the past since Bahubali and Padmavaat A good film will work regardless of the release date, sad to see SRK fighting and clashing with other filmmakers for holidays dates while the returns are not there anyways

All Time Top Opening Days - Sanju Sixth Saturday 30 June 2018 14.30 IST Box Office India Trade Network Sanju had the second highest non holiday opening day for an outright Hindi film and is the fifth highest opening ever if we count outright Hindi films and the sixth highest ever if we count Bahubali - The Conclusion. It is also the highest non Salman Khan and Shahrukh Khan opening again not including bahubali - The Conclusion. The other film that is is competing with like Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, Sultan , Happy New Year or Tiger Zinda Hai took bumper starts in the morning be it due to holiday or big action films while this started lesser in many areas but made ground to be very strong in the evening and this is why the film could be a really big one with a long run at the box office. The opening day is 70% better tha the previous best of Ranbir Kapoor which was Besharam at a little under 20 crore nett. The top twenty opening day collections are as follows. 1. Bahubali - The Conclusion - 40,73,00,000 2. Prem Ratan Dhan Payo - 39,32,00,000 (holiday) 3. Sultan - 36,59,00,000 (holiday) 4. Happy New Year - 36,41,00,000 (holiday) 5. Tiger Zinda Hai - 34,12,00,000 6. Sanju - 33,75,00,000 apprx 7. Dhoom 3 - 32,48,00,000 8. Singham Returns - 31,68,00,000 (holiday) 9. Ek Tha Tiger - 30,61,00,000 (holiday) 10.

Movie Review: Sanju Review by Bollywood Hungama News Network 29 June 2018 14:10 pm IST rating 4.5/5 Biopics are quite in vogue in Bollywood and in recent times, many of them have even tasted massive commercial success. But often, these biopics are criticized as they become quite hagiographic and tend to glorify the person in question. In such a scenario, blockbuster director Rajkumar Hirani’s SANJU promises to be different and shows the highs as well as lows and dark periods of actor Sanjay Dutt. That it’s directed by Rajkumar Hirani, who has a cent per cent track record and features popular actor Ranbir Kapoor, has added to the excitement considerably. So does SANJU live up to its hype and turns out to be a yet another feather in Hirani’s cap? Or does it fail to impress? Let’s analyse. SANJU is the biopic of controversial actor Sanjay Dutt and some of the dramatic and significant episodes of his life. Sanjay Dutt (Ranbir Kapoor) is the son of famous actor Sunil Dutt (Paresh Rawal) and yesteryear actress Nargis (Manisha Koirala). He is about to get launched in a film by his father titled ROCKY. Upset with his father, he tries drugs for the first time courtesy his friend Zubin Mistry (Jim Sarbh). At this point, he finds out that Nargis is suffering from cancer and has few days to live. She is taken to New York for treatment. Sanju is unable to control his drug habit even when his mother is struggling. While in New York, he befriends Kamlesh Kapasi (Vicky Kaushal) and they both form a wonderful bond. Sadly due to his drug addiction, his relationship with his girlfriend Ruby (Sonam Kapoor) gets affected and ends on a dismal note. Nargis dies just three days before the release of ROCKY. An overwhelmed Sanju agrees to go for rehab in USA. Once he overcomes this addiction, he gets into a bigger problem. He gets arrested for illegal possession of arms. He’s also accused of aiding the terrorists in carrying out the serial bomb blasts in Mumbai in 1993. How Sanjay Dutt fights this dreadful charge forms the rest of the film. Rajkumar Hirani and Abhijat Joshi’s story is interesting but one can sense that they have tried to play safe. But they have balanced it out by not glorifying Dutt and showing his bad and dark side too. Also, it’s impressive how Rajkumar and Abhijat haven’t focused on his film career and have focused on his personal life and turmoils. Rajkumar Hirani and Abhijat Joshi’s screenplay is terrific and despite the minuses, can be used as a guide on how to write films. With so much happening in the film, the writers ensure that the narrative doesn’t go all over the place. Everything is neatly put together. For instance, when the sequence where the Dutts are returning back to India, Nargis’ remarks about Ruby. This is done organically and neatly links to the next sequence which is related to Ruby. Rajkumar Hirani and Abhijat Joshi’s dialogues as always are entertaining, sharp and massy. Few dialogues related to sex will bring the house down in single screens and in the hinterland. A section of audience however would also be put off by such jokes and dark humour at places. Rajkumar Hirani’s direction as expected is highly effective. This is no easy film to make but he executes and presents the plot in a simple and crisp manner. His magic comes to the fore in several sequences and is bound to leave viewers smiling and teary eyed. However, the climax could have been better and more powerful. The biggest strength of SANJU is that the film never drops. The screenplay is riveting and keeps you hooked, even if you might not agree with the goings on. And that’s a feat for a film which is 160 minutes long. The back and forth narrative works very well and keeps viewers intrigued. The first half is excellent and boasts of some fine emotional, funny and dramatic sequences. The intermission point comes as a bolt from the blue. The madness continues in the second half but the plot gets a bit shaky here. The film goes on a high in the first half but the same doesn’t happen in the second half. The film should have ended with a punch or on a rocking note, as it has happened in the previous Rajkumar Hirani films. However, the film leaves a strong emotional impact overall, which works very well. Ranbir Kapoor owns the film and delivers a terrific performance. Nowhere does his performance seem like a caricature and he gives his best shot in ensuring that he looks and behaves like Sanjay Dutt. Watch out for him in the emotional sequence, particularly when his mother passes away and he confesses to his father that he needs to get better. Also he’ll leave viewers moist eyed in the scene where he fails to read his speech to his father and later the inevitable happens. SANJU surely ranks as one of the most or arguably the most accomplished performance by this young actor and is bound to win him accolades, admiration and awards! Paresh Rawal is also quite impressive and plays the important part of Sunil Dutt with perfection. SANJU is a father-son story and he compliments Ranbir very well in taking some scenes to great heights. Vicky Kaushal is the surprise package of the film. Right from his entry, he makes a mark and brings the house down at several places. Also, he’s rocking in the emotional sequences like when he meets Ruby or when he tells Sunil Dutt that they need to help Sanjay Dutt. Even in the second half, watch out for him when he meets Sanjay Dutt in the hospital and in the pre-climax when he listens to the radio. Manisha Koirala has a supporting part but is an important pillar in the film and charms with her performance. Anushka Sharma (as Winnie Dias) delivers a splendid performance. Again, her screen time is limited. Jim Sarbh makes an impact with his role. Sonam Kapoor (as Ruby) is decent in the cameo. Boman Irani (as Homi) contributes to the fun quotient. Sayaji Shinde (as Bandu Dada) looks every inch a gangster. Dia Mirza (as Maanayata Dutt) gets overpowered. Aditi Seiya (as Priya Dutt) looks quite like Priya but doesn’t have much to do in the film. Karishma Tanna (as Pinky) is quite sizzling and makes a mark, despite being there for just a scene. Mahesh Manjrekar (himself), Piyush Mishra (D Tripathi), Ashwin Mushran (security officer), Bharat Dabholkar (lawyer) and Aanjjan Srivastav (minister) are good. Songs are not that great but work well in the film. ‘Kar Har Maidaan Fateh’ is the best of the lot. ‘Main Badhiya Tu Bhi Badhiya’ is very well picturised and imagined. ‘Ruby Ruby’ (by A R Rahman) is relegated to the background. Sanjay Wandrekar and Atul Raninga’s background score is much better and exhilarating. S Ravivarman’s cinematography is splendid and has captured some of the locales beautifully. In fact, he impresses right from the first shot itself – a bird’s eye view of Bandra. Shashank Tere’s production design is appealing and rich. Eka Lakhani’s costumes are authentic. Vikram Gaikwad’s make-up design, Clover Wootton’s prosthetics and VFX by Fluiidmask Studios deserves the highest praise for making Ranbir look like Sanjay Dutt through the ages. Rajkumar Hirani’s editing is crisp. On the whole, SANJU is an entertaining saga that blends emotions, humour and drama in adequate doses. It is powerful, engaging, emotional as well as compelling. The combination of Rajkumar Hirani and Ranbir Kapoor works like a dream. At the box office, despite not being a ‘typical Rajkumar Hirani family entertainer’, SANJU will score tremendously and emerge as a Monstrous Hit! Don’t miss it! www.bollywoodhungama.com/movie/sanju/critic-review/

What a fantastic movie. Rajkumari hirani was back ot his best after a pretty average PK. Excellent direction and script by him. Perfect blend of humor, emotions and melodrama. And he had the major benefit of having an actor like Ranbir at his disposal. Performance of a lifetime by Ranbir. What an actor he is
And they did not glorify Sanjay dutt much here. In fact his character was quite despicable in the beginning when he is under influence. I was happy to see him get slapped for his misbehaviors.
The only downside I would say was casting of Paresh rawal as sunil dutt. He looked a bit out of place. Especislly when Ranbir was doing a mind blowing job as Sanjay dutt.
Sanju was better than pk and maybe even 3 idiots for me

Sanju was better than pk and maybe even 3 idiots for me Glad i am not the only one who thought this from the promos. Paresh Rawal is the weak link, he is nothing like Sunil Dutt saab at all. I was thinking the late great Farooque Sheikh would have been a great choice for the role.

Sanju Heads Towards Becoming Biggest HIT Of 2018 Saturday 30 June 2018 22.00 IST Box Office India Trade Network Sanju is heading to becoming the biggest HIT of the year as it grosses 39 crore nett on Saturday as per early estimates. This takes its two day business to 73 crore nett but its the demographics of the collections which suggest the biggest HIT of 2018. The tests will come on Monday and second Friday but the trend suggests it is set for a huge run. The growth is 15% but that is not an issue as its more about where its coming from since yesterday morning. Some places opened with shows at 8-9k and now are treble that. The film is the sort where its not expected to get 2 crore nett in Rajasthan on Saturday but that is what has happened. If not 2 crore nett then very close which for this film is simply crazy. The metros where it was expected to be huge are huge but the bonus is the B centre multiplexes which normally do not come on board so fast for these type of social dramas. It started with Sanju on day one. A similar genre like Dangal started behaving well in these places post the weekend in the Xmas period. Mumbai city was a huge 3.15 crore nett on day one while Delhi city was 2.85 crore nett. These are non Bahubali records for day one. boxofficeindia.com/report-details.php?articleid=4072

Basically the film is recording the highest collections of all time outside Bahubali - The Conclusion for a non holiday period.

The highest second days in history are as follows. 1. Bahubali: The Conclusion - 40,28,00,000 2. Sanju - 38,25,00,000 apprx 3. Sultan - 37,31,00,000 (holiday) 4. Race 3 - 36,27,00,000 (holiday) 5.

Saw it last night.. I loved it. As an autobiography it speaks about the defining moments in Sanjay Dutt's life. Now, some may argue saying it was "biased" or "incomplete" but even in the film its Sanjay who is narrating it. Thus, its his point of view. Some may not believe him. But, if the media was allowed to share their version then i see nothing wrong with sanjay dutt's version being shared as well. Ranbir Kapoor is BRILLIANT as Sanjay Dutt and Vishal who plays his friend is equally brilliant. As a film, its a tad too long and could have used a few entertaining elements. But none of that takes away from the film. its a very good movie and its a must watch for performances. There were two scenes in the movie where i just couldnt hold back my tears.
4/5
