Fine! everything cannot be presented in a very limited screen length. MISSTAKESįine! Sanju has to be a miniseries to focus and touch all the vital portions of his disturbed timeline. A director can do a lot of things in a screen time of 160 minutes. You make a lengthy 160-minute film avoiding many important moments and touching a couple of topics is not a smart move. The screenplay dreadfully emphasizes on his drug usage and relation with his father than anything. So stop being naive and focus on the most sensitive incidents of his life because this film is extremely sympathetic to the actor.Īnd that is where Sanju disappoints me. He has one of the biggest fan-following among the South Asians on a global stage. Baba doesn’t need to earn his name, people love him, people adore him. One major reason is that when you watch the film and if you are a good observer, you realize that the motive of this film is to give a visual presentation of Sanjay Dutt by his close friend Raju Hirani concluding “Look guys! he was a bad boy, now he is a good boy, so please forgive him”. Sanju is bad, really bad, on many counts. Raju making Sanju is like Taika Waititi making Thor: Ragnarok. Now that I have watched on Netflix, I am much convinced to conclude that Sanju is easily one of the worst biographic films I have ever watched. So I said to myself, let me watch the film first and decide if the biopic justifies. Because the seriousness of the content was glorified and looked entertaining instead of thought-provoking. When the teaser and trailer were released, the presentations didn’t buy me at all. Will Raju Hirani make his first serious film or will his directional artistry of presenting sensitive subjects in a cleverly humorous way, this time on the real subject, will work again? Munnabhai duology, 3 Idiots and PK worked well with the humor because the stories of all the four films were fictional and flexible enough to bend with a typical Hirani humor.īut Baba’s story is dark, real, serious, traumatic, painful and disturbing. But when the news broke that Rajkumar Hirani would be directing this, my court of judgments objected the announcement with a question mark bigger than the one in the headline of the cropped newspaper from the scene.īecause Raju Hirani is known to present the subjects and messages to the viewers with a screenplay which can adjust a well equipped rib-tickling comedy. Sanjay Dutt is one such story and when the project was announced, I was excited. The Indian cinema with many unforgettable celebrities offer scores of background stories which has the required material to translate their lives in the reels.
It is my firm believe that when the producers and the director decides to make a film based on an individual, your account your narration your presentation should be precise especially in a case when the individual has a disturbed life blended with the personal violence, shattered image, serious accusations, drug abuse and complicated relations with the family and friends.
