Read the full reviewRanbir Kapoor transforms himself into '80s superstar Sanjay Dutt in 'Sanju,' a Dutt-approved biopic from director Rajkumar Hirani.
Read the full reviewThe 160-minute film, essentially a touching father-son drama that also pays tribute to some of Hindi cinema’s greatest lyricists, glides through its busy, pulsating narrative without suffering anything akin to an ungainly wobble.
Read the full reviewWhen Sanju broke for an interval, I hurried out to buy that cup of coffee without which a 160-minute film feels like, well, a 160-minute film.
Read the full reviewMany would scoff at a star son’s propensity for making a mess out of a perfectly charmed, cushioned life and throwing away his celebrated parents’ goodwill to get out of hot water every single time.

How is the fan score worked out?
It is a Fair Score, not a plain average. Votes from brand new accounts, accounts that have rated only one film, several votes from one network, sudden bursts, and accounts that only ever give 1 or 5 stars count for less. A few early ratings cannot swing it. Nothing is hidden: we show the star bars above.
