Sanju - Movie Review

Though I decided not to watch movies, only a couple of months before on Sridevis death and the connections it could have had with underworld; could not resist myself from watching Sanju for a couple of reasons.


Cannot say a complete biopic, but Sanju is an emotionally touching film. In this 2-hour-42-minute long biopic, his two wives and eldest daughter didn’t feature at all! Richa Sharma whom he married in 1987 and died in 1996; his first daughter Trishala Dutt and his second wife Rhea Pillai.

It picturises how important it is to have strong family relations/support and good friendships. Second half loved the references to old songs and how aptly they concluded with kuch tho log kahenge...Every cast was Eak Se Bhadkar Eak. Manisha as Nargis and that song Kar Har Maidaan Fateh raised goosebumps...A movie that would take you down the memory lane from Rocky to pune yerwada jail; News paper articles, communal riots, and deaths.

My plus was watching Sanju and Ranbir.....and Watching it at Savitha.....Nostalgia....Old charm theatre. With my movie partners - Mom and son.
