Movie Review- SANJU

'SANJU'

Sanjay Dutt- A synonym for Controversy.

Sanjay Dutt- A second name to Drugs.

Sanjay Dutt- A name interchangeably used for being a terrorist.

Sanjay Dutt- A name cursed for making wrong choices.

So..
It was in 2015 when there were talks of a biopic on Sanjay Dutt. Not many really believed there could be any such story on a person who has been an epicenter to so much media attention and public outrage.
A life so sensitive to sentiments of thousands who lost their loved ones and even for those loving their country. Inshort it was a man against thousands calling him a traitor.
But one man believed it could be possible. He was Rajkumar Hirani himself.

Coming back to the film..
Iam going to break my review into two parts.
-- The story and
-- Ranbir Kapoor and the rest of the cast.

THE STORY.
Had the film not been about Sanjay Dutt and his glorious cum controversial life, it was an absolute flat patch. Had it been not a biopic and a commercial masala mix it was sure to have not  been a commercial success and not even amongst the audience.
But here comes the twist- it's all SANJAY DUTT.
What a life this man has been through.
With so much of ups and downs and even when today people disgaree to what the truth, such a film comes to his rescue.
This man has lived numerous personalities in one.

The rest is how we the people perceive him as- A Traitor or A Victim ?

-- RANBIR KAPOOR and others
This man is a treasure of Talent.
Playing some one you are not and trying to imitate at such a crisp levels takes a lot of responsibility, dedication, perception, honesty and sheer dedication.
A standing ovation and a round of applause for Ranbir Kapoor.
For me he bags the best lead actor this year.
So much similarity. So much transparency. So much alertness while playing Dutt.
Not even a tinch of mimicry.
*It felt as Dutt settled in him*

Paresh Rawal and Manisha Koraila have played their parts really really well as Sunil Dutt and Nargis respectively.

My favourite in the entire film after Ranbir Kapoor was none other than Vicky Kaushal. He plays Kumar Gaurav in the film but for privacy purpose the name has been changed.
What a resemblance! What a Friendship!

Anushka Sharma looks beautiful while Dia Mirza playing Manyata Dutt is portrayed a simple loving wife.

Special Attention: Father-Son chemistry.
RKH has ventured into the depth of Sunil Dutt and Baba's father-son chemistry.
A fathers love can never be understood but it can be seen through his actions.
Sunil Dutt represents the entire father community.

The film will open to humongous numbers and is for sure going to be a blockbuster.
Welcome Back Ranbir Kapoor. Glad to have you back Talent.

Finally..
The film gets a 3.5 star out of 5
And
Ranbir Kapoor wiithout any doubt-uncertainty-hesitation gets a 5 out of 5 star.

Movie Review- VEERE DI WEDDING

'VEERE DI WEDDING'

Whenever I have to criticize a film, I never find myself falling short of words, expressions or any term. But! But! But! Veere Di Wedding has done it. How can a movie be so pathetic and raw that finding words to criticize becomes the most difficult task on the planet.

I know many of you won't read the rest of the review after reading the above 'praise'. Still as a job I will review this film. Don't even expect me to be lenient. I have sat in that seat for nearly 135 minutes of my precious life just to witness a piece of idiotic showpiece.

The cast of this film is diverse. On one side you have Swara and Shikha- Then comes Kareena- afterwards the remaining cast and finally agar time bache toh Sonam Kapoor.
Why on Earth does she even act ? Somebody rightnow needs to make her aware that she is an awful actress and must venture into production or film making and spare the audience of her disastrous acting.
Taimur's mother a.k.a Kareen Kapoor in the entire film has smiled for only 2 seconds. The rest of the film I find her scratching and making weird faces.
Swara and Shikha are so smooth. Unused talent because of the poor script and lack of screen space. I feel sorry for them and pity Rhea Kapoor.

The intention of the film is still unclear to me. Why do film makers think showing someone smoking or sleeping around or using unnecessary cuss words makes a movie 'bold' and 'modern'. Absolutely NOT. I was wondering why were the characters in the movie even abusing ? Like it seemed it was forced on them.

The direction is absolutely flawed, blemish, imperfect, limited and every synonym to indicate poor direction. None of the scenes hold grip. By the time you digest 'what just happened' another 'what just happened' scene pops up.

Let me tell you Rhea Kapoor- life is not so easy. Making money is not so easy. Kindly do not influence the younger generation by portraying such nuisance.

Disappointing.
A complete miss from my side.
I wonder how have critics given this film a 3 plus rating.

Finally, I give this film a rating of 1.5 out of 5.
