#Sanju...Since there are multiple reviews with varied reactions across all platforms, here is my own after watching it this past Sunday.
It is a MOVIE inspired by some supposedly true incidents in the life of Sanjay Dutt, belonging to a very (POLITICALLY) influential family in the Hindi Film Industry, handed future in movies on a silver platter(READ NEPOTISM) who saw at the beginning of his career some MIGHTY DAZZLING HIGHS followed by EXTREME LOWS in his life due to circumstances that he is entirely responsible for. STORY Directed by a certain Mr.Rajkumar Hirani who knows how to tell a story which will appeal the masses which by all means is worth the watch.
This one like many others in the past have a story to tell, message to convey about never to lose hope, rise from the ashes and the other usual blah blah and blah....but is entertaining nonetheless.
That said and done... (if possible) DO NOT be prejudiced in your thoughts about someone else's life which frankly you, me or many others have not lived. We watch movies coz it's entertainment, sometimes inspiring and sometimes just for timepass. A MOVIE will do good or bad for various factors but will do exceptionally well coz of how story is told and not (always) because of who is in it or whose story it is. There are 100's of movies which should have done well but tanked and vice versa as well but that is for audiences to decide.
BOTTOMLINE - It is a MOVIE, (if you wish to) watch it as a MOVIE and (please) don't crib about it doing well inspite of so many wrongs in the lead character's life. We are all SINNERS in one form or other, so let's not wear a cloak of goodness pretending to be a SAINT.
