Sanju

Sanju (2018) is a biographical drama directed by Rajkumar Hirani — watch it online on iFILM. Ranbir Kapoor plays Sanjay Dutt, the Bollywood star whose life packed in drug addiction, arms possession charges, and years of legal battles tied to the 1993 Mumbai bombings.

Hirani frames the story as a memoir-in-progress: Sanjay's friend is writing a book and drawing out memories in layers, which means each new chapter reshapes what came before. Vicky Kaushal plays the best friend, and their scenes together carry more weight than any courtroom sequence. Paresh Rawal as Sanjay's father Sunil Dutt — producer, protector, the person who refused to give up — gives the film its quietest and most affecting performance.

Hirani made his name turning difficult subjects into crowd-pleasers without cheating the difficulty, and Sanju follows that pattern: it's funny, it's fast, and it doesn't pretend Sanjay Dutt is a simple victim. Kapoor's physical transformation alone earned him a Filmfare Best Actor win. Stream Sanju online on iFILM.
