“Sanju” starring Ranbir Kapoor in the titular role hit the theatres today and is receiving accolades from fans and critics alike. It is a biopic of popular Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt and depicts different stages of his life in a perfect manner.
Recently Hirani held a special screening of the flick in which he invited various Bollywood celebrities, such as Sanjay Dutt, Manyata Dutt, Priya Dutt, Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Imtiaz Ali, A R Rahman, Manisha Koirala, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Neetu Kapoor, Vidhu Vinod Chopra and several other celebs.
Quite amazingly, Sanjay Dutt himself had tears in his eyes after watching the movie and he hugged Rajkumar Hirani and Ranbir Kapoor. He is actually so impressed with the biopic that he asks the filmmaker Hirani to make its sequel as he has many stories to tell.
The movie is being applauded for its strong content, heart-touching portrayal of Dutt’s life, mind-blowing performances and of course an incredible direction by the jewel of Bollywood who has given the industry several masterpieces like “PK”, “3 Idiots”, “Munna Bhai MBBS”, “Lage Raho Munna Bhai”, etc.

#SanjuReview A Work Of Outstanding Artistry! 🌟🌟🌟🌟1/2!!! @RajkumarHirani knows how to absorb you in his storytelling, where to make you laugh and cry. Nobody but only #RanbirKapoor could have delivered this brilliant portrayal of #SanjayDutt. @VVCFilms @foxstarhindi #Sanju

Did you watch “Sanju”? If not, book your tickets ASAP because such marvels are not often made in Bollywood.
