What is difficult to understand though is why Raju Hirani played along. That he should choose Raju Hirani, the writer-director who conceived and popularized him as "Munnabhai", an image that has outlived his bad boy with guns persona of a "Khalnayak", is not difficult to understand. What is obvious after watching "Sanju" is that it is an endorsed biopic (which has been fictionalized as the disclaimer in the film says) of Sanjay Dutt, as told by Sanjay Dutt! This is the version of his life that he (plus Manyata + family) will want people to believe and remember.

We discussed the very candid episode of "Jeena Isi Ka Naam Hain", a TV show produced by NDTV in which Sanjay and Sunil Dutt revisited his drug phase and the 1993 TADA case.

Raju Sir reassured me the film will be factual since so much information was already in the public domain and Baba himself had over the years spoken about his life at length. I asked him if he'll be able to tell it like it is after all, "Baba" (as Dutt is known in film circles) is much loved and venerated by the film fraternity. I bought it up with Raju Hirani while he was shooting "PK" in 2014, when the idea of the biopic was still being tossed around. I feared it would happen when it was confirmed that a biopic would be made on the life and times of Dutt even as he lives and works in Bollywood. Ranbir Kapoor in a still from the film "Sanju"ĭon't know about the critics, but I felt Sanjay Dutt deserved a more honest, layered portrayal.not the victim narrative or the cheap trick of a misunderstood man with a heart of gold.

If the rains in Mumbai had not played spoilsport, it may have crossed that mark earlier! Audience happy, film trade happy, Sanjay Dutt and family happy.what are the critics cribbing about? Why the griping about "whitewash" when everyone is loving the glossy strokes? Is poetic license a sin? The numbers as of yesterday were 166 crores (net approx. source: ) with predictions of it crossing 200 crores in the first week. "Munnabhai" may not have been able to make it to America but "Sanju" has arrived with massive force - as of today, it holds the record for the biggest non-festival/non holiday opening weekend and the 5th-highest debut of all time. The third instalment of the Munnabhai series, "Munnabhai Chale America", had to be shelved due to Sanjay Dutt's conviction and subsequent imprisonment for possessing illegal weapons acquired from the underworld dons responsible for the Mumbai attacks in 1993. Why should Bollywood be any different? Millennials don't know Baba or Sanju, they know Munnabhai, the bumbling do-gooder created lovingly by Rajkumar Hirani in 2003.
