DIRECTION

Now it is already announced Rajkumar Hirani is a genius and he is the best filmmaker in Hindi cinema. After making films like Munna Bhai, Lage Raho Munna Bhai, 3 Idiots, and PK, the director comes up to narrate the controversial life of Sanjay Dutt. Rajkumar Hirani knows what the audience wants to see in the theatres. He had the controversial and emotional content so what he more needed was a comedy and that Hirani put in his own style.

In biopics, we majorly have seen comedy part is mostly missing maybe because to make it relevant, but now directors should learn from Rajkumar Hirani that where they can put comedy and how. Whenever the director felt that film is losing its space so he included comedy portion to make people laugh. Surely to take a bow for Rajkumar Hirani.

Because in the whole Sanju and Sunil Dutt's character were something that the audience knew about them but both the actors will make you recall all memories.

Vicky Kaushal, He is brilliant, one word he is brilliant. Vicky Kaushal got the most important character of Sanjay Dutt's life his best friend Kamlesh. Vicky Kaushal has the benefit of having an unknown character but his character will give goosebumps to many of you in the theatres. His chemistry with Ranbir Kapoor is the most favourite thing in this film.

MUSIC

The film has only four songs and two of them are already chartbusters, first Main Badhiya is a comic song that will make you laugh, whether the second Kar Har Maidan Fateh is the masterpiece in the film. This song comes when Sanju is low to his life and how this song revives Sanju's life is something to watch. Then Ruby Ruby is a flow going song, whether the last song Baba Bole Bas Kar is a sarcastic song to target the media.

Go watch it, maybe the best of this year. This is an emotional adventures film with Rajkumar Hirani that is totally a 'Paisa Vasool'.
