Storyline:
Few lives in our times are as dramatic and enigmatic as the saga of Sanjay Dutt. Coming from a family of cinema legends, he became a film star and then saw dizzying heights and darkest depths: adulation of die-hard fans, unending battles with various addictions, brushes with the underworld, prison terms, loss of loved ones, and the haunting speculation that he might or might not be a terrorist.
Sanju is in turn a hilarious and heartbreaking exploration of one man’s battle against his wild self and the formidable external forces trying to crush him. It depicts the journey of a man through everything that life can throw at him. Some true stories leave you thinking “Did this happen?” This is one such unbelievable story that happens to be true.

About Sanju Movie:
Sanju is a Hindi biographical film directed and edited by Rajkumar Hirani, written by Hirani and Abhijat Joshi, and produced by Hirani and Vidhu Vinod Chopra under the banners of Rajkumar Hirani Films and Vinod Chopra Films.
In a conversation with Hirani, Sanjay Dutt shared anecdotes from his life, which the former found intriguing and prompted him to make a film based on Sanjay Dutt’s life.
It was titled Sanju after the nickname Dutt’s mother Nargis used to call him.
Principal photography began in January 2017 and wrapped up in January 2018. The film’s soundtrack was composed by Rohan-Rohan and Vikram Montrose, with A. R. Rahman as a guest composer.
Sanju was released worldwide on 29 June 2018. It received mostly positive reviews from critics, who praised Hirani’s direction, music, screenplay, cinematography, and performances (particularly those of Kapoor, Kaushal, Rawal, and Koirala), though some criticized its supposed image-cleansing of its protagonist. It registered the highest opening for any film released in India in 2018, and on its third day, it had the highest single-day collection ever for a Hindi film in India. With a worldwide gross of over ₹586.85 crore (US$85.81 million), Sanju emerged as the highest-grossing Bollywood film of 2018, the third highest-earning Hindi film in India of all time, and the 12th highest-grossing Indian film.
It earned seven nominations at the 64th Filmfare Awards including Best Film and Best Director, winning Best Actor for Kapoor and Best Supporting Actor for Kaushal.
