Observer

The film demands sympathy for a symbol-not of hope or strife, but of privilege. It demands empathy for an empty vessel, embodying a rich, nepotistic, narcissistic status quo, without putting in the groundwork to craft character through visual expression.

Mastering Sanjay's trademark stooped gait, adopting his distinct baritone, with prosthetic hooded eyes, Ranbir Kapoor's physical transformation is nothing short of astounding.

A glorified infomercial about the life of a Bollywood bad boy.

Firstpost

Sanju ends up feel like a version of Dutt's life for children; a sanitised fable of sorts. You are very often left wanting more. This gap is filled by Ranbir Kapoor — a fine performer who understands his subject matter and audience.

It doesn't just heroise a flawed personality, but also ends up as the definitive and selective account for the future.

It's hard not to feel sympathy for the man after watching Sanju.

Hope Hirani would rather make a movie on a great scientist or freedom fighter.

It is a better movie than I had expected. I must say the acting and the cinematography are very on point. Not considering its relations or implications with the real life events on Sanjay Dutt (I am neither Indian nor a Bollywood fan, thus consider myself too uneducated to comment), I find the film easy to follow and entertaining to watch, while still successful in addressing the depth of family tension and stress management in Dutt‘s past.

"Sanju" is an engrossing biopic of Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt. Ranbir Kapoor delivers a career-defining performance, and the film offers a compelling look at Dutt's tumultuous life and career.

Movie with no facts and only blaming the world and circumstances around a know bad boy of bollywood for his deeds. the character (Sanjay Dutt) should be called out for what he is and that's a TERRORIST. he was caught with illegal weapons and links to terrorists. his audio tapes with the most wanted men in India have been leaked and none of that are discussed but are glossed over. This looks like a image softening campaign for the character's political ambitions.
