Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaSpeaking on his role, Vicky Kaushal revealed that his character is an "amalgamation of three or four other friends" of Dutt and is thus "fictionalized".
- GoofsSanju 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 creditsThe film title appears in the ocean at Sanjay Dutt's house.
- Alternate versionsIn 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.

Featured review
SANJU
Duration : 129 Minutes Genre : Biopic
CAST Ranbir Kapoor : He plays Sanjay Dutt. I must say that this is Ranbir's best performance till date. He went into the soul of the character. Pure brilliance! Paresh Rawal : He plays Sunil Dutt. His performance was genuine and his on screen presence was strong and flawless. Vicky Kaushal : He plays Kamlesh, Sanjay Dutt's best friend. His role was equally vital and he performed really well in despite of sharing screen space with senior actors. Sonam Kapoor, Dia Mirza, Manisha Koirala and Anushka Sharma : The whole female cast was well ensemble and all 4 portrayed their roles well. Jim Sarbh : He played God. Jim always outdoes himself, and he doesn't disappoint here.
PLOT As we all know Sanju is a Biopic on the different stages of Sanjay Dutt's Life. Raju Hirani not only displays Sanjay's life story but also teaches us life lessons (As he always does). There was a dialogue in the movie which said "The person with the most failures, has the best stories." Sanju is indeed those stories. Raju Hirani executes the script skillfully and one gets to see every emotion in it.
SOUNDTRACK Sanju's music doesn't really leave a mark except for the track Kar Har Maidaan Fateh which is extremely motivating as is also my favorite.
