This seems an era of bio pics. Until now, we have had the bio pics of various athletes and sportspersons, like Milkha Singh, Mary Kom, M S Dhoni, Phogat sisters, and so on. Rajkumar Hirani, going slightly out of the way, has come up with the bio pic of one of the most controversial and admired Bollywood actors, Sanjay Dutt.

The film, as expected, has done exceptionally well on box office, and critics also have liked the movie for its almost perfect story, cinematography, screenplay, dialogues, and music. Directed by Rajkumar Hirani, it casts many good actors with Ranbir Kapoor (in lead), Paresh Rawal, and Manisha Koirala. So from every aspect it’s a movie worth spending an evening on.

It gives you a perfect blend of humor and drama. Revolving around some important points of Sanjay Dutt’s life, it tells the story of his trials on Arms Act case and Mumbai blasts. The dominating theme of the movie comes out to be the father son relationship between Sanjay and Sunil Dutt.

Now for the intricacies and details you must watch the movie otherwise you will be missing a lot about a life which is worth taking lessons from. It has received the rating of 4 stars out of 5 and is truly one of its kind.

The question is a bit debatable. If we talk about the fans, they were really excited for the movie's release and have given it an excellent response. You can see the frenzy that the movie created even before the release ashere.

But there's another side of the story as well. The more skeptical audience is condemning the movie because it uses the genre of biopics to correct and glorify the blemished image of Sanjay Dutt. An example ishere.

After reading the above link, if you think that one should encourage such movies and appreciate this one, then you should surely go and watch. But if you are concerned about the kind of art that is being presented to us consumers then you should re think about it.

In the name of entertainment, Bollywood is serving us anything and we are following such trends like idiots. Indian viewership, much like Indian readership has very low standards and this is saddening. I think we should condemn such movies which serve us falsity and misguide us in the name of entertainment and art.
