Ranbir Kapoor in Sanju (2018)
Few lives in our times are as dramatic and enigmatic as the saga of Sanjay Dutt. Coming from a family of cinema legends, he himself 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 turns a hilarious and heartbreaking exploration of one man's battle against his own 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 really happen?" This is one such unbelievable story that happens to be true.

    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Speaking on his role, Vicky Kaushal revealed that his character is an "amalgamation of three or four other friends" of Dutt and is thus "fictionalized".
    • Goofs
      Sanju is shown to be in a rehabilitation center in the USA, but the location shown is clearly Cape Town, South Africa. When Sanju escapes the rehab center and goes to purchase illicit drugs at a dockyard, a boat in the background has a call-sign for the South African port city.
    • Quotes
      • Mahesh Manjrekar: [on phone] Sanju, where are you? We missed the sunrise shoot?
      • Sanjay Dutt: There was a lot of traffic... so many cars in the way...
      • Mahesh Manjrekar: I'm on a landline!
    • Crazy credits
      The film title appears in the ocean at Sanjay Dutt's house.
    • Alternate versions
      In India, the CBFC (Central Board of Film Certification) demanded one aesthetic cut for a U/A rating (which allows viewers under 12 to view the film with parental supervision); the cut demanded removed a scene in which a toilet overflows while Sanju is in prison. The cuts was required as the board felt that the scene was gratuitous and unnecessary. The film was released uncut in other countries worldwide.
