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
Overrated
Movie could have been cut short by an hour. or focused on other more interesting aspects and people in Sanju's life - his wives/family, his relationships with other big stars (Madhuri Dixit, Salman khan?).. That material is completely missing from the movie. Too much screen time for the Kamli friendship angle. Boring. The drug addiction part dragged on way too long.
I wouldnt consider this movie a biopic as it was only focused on portraying Sanju as an innocent victim of the unfair media coverage. The guy has repeatedly made bad choices in his life and we are supposed to feel sorry for him. Yaawn.
Melodramatic background music was annoying.
Ranbir's acting was good though. Would surely win him many awards.
Cant rate it more than 5 stars. but its an ok movie compared to other junk that bollywood churns out.
