Honestly , have they run out of subjects that they make a film on an actor still living , with questionable background , a criminal record and so on and so forth . ..I hate the idea of making films and glorifying people when they are still alive , be it Sachin, Dhoni or Sanjay Dutt .

Aren't there enough number of decent,honest , hardworking people who have toilec and made a pisitive difference ? Probably they are not glamorous enough or controversial to attract attention of the public . What do you all have to say about this trend ?

The movie is getting applaud as well as criticism from people. Yesterday on one news channel, the police officer had come who arrested Sanjay Dutt in real life and he was upset that how the move glorified Sanjay and showed him in poor light.

Despite of all these, movie is doing great and has already crossed 200 crores business. It is expected to cross profit made by Bahubali. I have got tickets booked for tonight. 

I got a free CD of the movie with grocery worth dollar 60 but I have no intention to watch it as I know what to expect. 

As it is I hardly see any films in the theatre unless I really want to and as a rule I don't see any films of Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt ..the only films I have seen of Sanjay Dutt so far are Munnabhai and  an old film Zameen aasman. So I have no intention of spending my hard earned money on a film that glorifies ...his daughter is apparently unhappy and the police who took him into custody is unhappy because of the manner in which he has been depicted in the film. Doesn't the film industry have any shame and conscience? More importantly I blame the general public ..

Glorifying Sanjoy Dutt is an absolute shame for the filmmakers. I have read some reviews which appreciated Ranbir Kapoor's performance but has criticised the glorification of Sanjay Dutt.

Apparently it was made because Sanjay Dutt wanted to .... Such films are even more dangerous than the ones that depict inflammatory content because it not only glorifies but send out wrong message to youngsters and impressionable minds.

Don't watch it but upload the movie on a website so people can download it free of cost! Let them lose money through piracy! They don't deserve anything better.

 

Yesterday I saw a Netflix trailer about an upcoming movie on Sunny Leone! I just cannot believe that people are so stupid!

I watched the movie. Ranbir Kapoor is too good! They have added all Bollywood angles to make it an entertainment package. They have shown a very glorified version of Sunil Dutt. As far as Sanjay Dutt's character has been depicted, I was shocked to see ugly side to his life. He was just shown as a bad bad guy and a man who was irresponsible and never grew up. They have not given any justification for his wrong doing. However, they have definitely tried to malign media and gain some sympathy for him as a victim.

Being a fan or admirer of an actor does not mean that you overlook and accept everything the person does ...This is the problem with our society , they have double standards when it comes to the rich and the famous and no wonder our courts and legal system consisting of people with similar mentality is no better ! Sanjay Dutt grumbled his way through his prison sentence cutting a pathetic figure inspite of getting special treatment and was more out of jail than in . Just imagine an ordinary person undergoing similar sentences !

I respect your feelings. I no way I am taking side of Sanjay Dutt. I rean in news paper that this movie is silent about first wife Richha Sharma and daughter Trishla of Sanjay Dutt. VIP culture is problem of this country. They get benefit every where in country.

It did not talk about any of his marriages before Manyata Dutt and neither did mention any affairs that he had with his actresses. They combined two characters of Tina Munim and Madhuri Dixit in to one and made it as Ruby. The movie focused on only two aspects of his life...his drug addiction and his journey through TADA.

Apparently even the police who were responsible for carrying out the investigation are shown in a poor light. If that is the case it also shows the lack of perception by our censor board.

Looking it is only to improve image of Sanjay Dutt. I think it is not possible to show all affairs of film stars. They have many affairs during their carrier. For film start affair is like a changing clothes.

The movie has shown him as a sex addict and womanizer. It has not done anything to improve that image of Sanjay Dutt. He has been portrayed as a person with shallow character who could even deceive his best friend for a girl.

I don't watch this movie, I am waiting when it will telecast of TV. It is movie, we all will forget it after some time.

If we see it only as entertainment point of view and not linked to any celebrity who is trying to clear up his image, the movie has all the potential of a good entertainer. A good direction, good acting and all that one needs in a movie to be entertaining. But unfortunately it might have a hidden intention to clean up some image. For me I do not mind watching it for a second time as I found it entertaining.

That is a fair analysis , but a film maker also has a social responsibility and the censor board too who  go only for sex, violence and inflammatory content . Anything subtle that is far more dangerous seems to be completely lost on them..

Yes the onus lies on the censor board as well as the viewers to not get carried away by what is shown. But unfortunately, a visual thing does make a remarkable effect on viewers and so film makers need to take some social responsibility and not mess with the reality.

Your analysis could have been quite fair had it been associated with any other celebrity, however, a person who has been convicted under TADA because he aided known terrorists by storing and distributing destructive weapons that killed many in the bomb blasts in Mumbai, I would say it is not at all fair! Every person of this country, no matter his status, economic background, his caste, education whatever, they are, owes his or her allegiance to this country, and those who violate our country's integrity are criminals and traitors, no matter how big that actor may be or how intelligent he maybe. By making this movie, the director has tried to make it look like that Dutta was never at a fault whenever he committed any mistakes and that he fell prey to circumstances. BY trying to make him look clean, they are only trying to falsify truth and the people whose dear ones were killed in the bomb blasts, the police who worked relentlessley to track down the terrorists., the reporters who investigated the story etc. are being denied the chance of being given justice. So I think, our idea of entertainment needs to be looked into once again. Just because Ranbir Kapoor has acted really well, does not mean that the victims of bomb blasts should be told otherwise that Dutta is a great person. We don't need that kind of entertainment!

@Kalyani Superbly explained. Every entertainment should also give some powerful message. Sanjay Dutt messed up his life by indulging in too many wrong activities so he underwent jail term and, that should be the message to the people, that harmful activities lead to suffering. Why there is an attempt to show him as a victim of the circumstance which he was not. He was a spoiled brat of a wealthy father and he just wanted to enjoy every minute of his life through money which is disgusting.
