Sanjay Dutt’s biopic in which Ranbir Kapoor is playing the lead role and the actor is also getting applauded for his commendable acting in the film. Ranbir Kapoor fans seem to do a happy dance after seeing his favorite actor giving such a performance on the big screen. Although, it wasn’t an easy task to direct such a biopic that too on a star that’s still so relevant. Critics are also quite impressed with Raj Kumar Hirani’s direction and Ranbir Kapoor’s tremendous acting in the film. Rather being called as a biopic the film can also be considered to be an entertainer.
Critics believe that story runs good but it could be a litter tighter. So, many leading media agencies reviewed the film, check out what the leading media channels say about the film:
A leading online news website credits Rajkumar Hirani for making this biopic a usual Bollywood entertainer. They write, “Sanju presents the intimate details of Sanjay Dutt’s life in a typically Hirani-esque manner. There’s an emotional message in every potential scene; the film doesn’t attempt to decode Sanjay Dutt or justify his life. Neither does it try to whitewash his flaws. Credit to Hirani for not painting Dutt with larger than life strokes. But there is a Bollywood-ish tinge to every scene.”
The leading News channel, Times Now feels Ranbir Kapoor is just fantastic in the film. They write, “After the first few scenes, you’ll forget Ranbir and will only look at him as Sanjay Dutt. However, the movie also belongs to Vicky Kaushal. If Ranbir is the soul of the film, Vicky is the heart of it. This is his best performance. Half star extra only for performances. They believe Sanju overall is flawed and eccentric but it has a brilliant Ranbir Kapoor at its forefront along with other cast members that make this one a worthwhile.”
Times of India is blown away with Ranbir’s performance. According to them “what Ranbir does best in Sanju, is that he delivers the central character’s swag and nonchalance in the most effortless manner. Whether he’s dancing like a hysterical man, with bloodshot eyes under the influence of drugs or he’s the broken, emotional wreck just staring blank, Ranbir portrays a variety of emotions and grey shades with flair. He’s the heart and soul of this film.”
NDTV is mighty impressed with this biopic. They say, “In this scenario, the risk of becoming a pulpy panegyric like MS Dhoni: The Untold Story, a brazenly falsified yarn like Bhaag Milkha Bhaag or a hurried whitewash job like Azhar is high. Grasp over pace, pitch and purpose is, therefore, of the essence. Sanju does not, for the most part, fall short on that count. Even in its more melodramatic scenes, where just a hint of manipulation creeps in, the film does not sputter out of control.”
