However, the idea of having a funny sequence as the dead body rests in the same room, doesn’t work for me this time. It will give you plenty of opportunity to feel bad about Baba and cry for him. Those somber moments are plenty in the film. The characteristic Hirani features remain a man with upright morals, with a knack to make us laugh and cry. The only way the film tries to tell us that Baba has some regrets, it is via the odd dialogue here and there. The present Sanju is a harmless family man, who paid for his deeds of the past and now just want to live peacefully. These are the few parts of Baba's life, the film talks about and not much else. Sanju has an image problem and people labelled him terrorist? Press’s fault. Sanju had AR56 at his home? Babri Masjid demolition, the riots afterwards, and his concern for his father’s safety were to blame. Sanju, is appallingly dreadful to his girlfriend and her family? Blame the drugs and alcohol. Sanju got into drugs? His mother’s early demise, father’s stern attitude and his friend Zubin Mistry are to be blamed. If all your efforts are in trying project this man as a saint, then we have every right to call it out. But there has to be some honesty in your work. Raj Kumar Hirani’s career kick started because of Munna Bhai MBBS. I understand the need to clear up Sanjay Dutt’s life.
It tries to make you feel bad for Baba, which I found quite hard to be fair. Doesn’t dive too deep into any relationship, apart from perhaps the friendship between Kamli and Sanju. It tells us very little in terms of new revelations.
A story of man, who made terrible choices and now in hind-side is explaining his decisions. If you are born to a rich and famous father, the best director (of this mass entertainment genre at least) and top actor in the country will make a film about your indiscretion and find excuses for you. Here is my answer to what Sanju is trying to tell us. In recent times, I have walked out of a lot films thinking, boy, why would they make such a film? Who would finance it and what is the film trying to tell us. “We judge ourselves by our intentions and others by their actions.” Stephen R.
