Team Sanju must be feeling on top of the world today.
For, the Ranbir Kapoor starrer has struck gold with the audience. The
collections of the film are soaring with every passing day and just when
you thought the first two days (Friday and Saturday) were huge, comes in Day
3’s figures.

It was heartwarming to see that Sanju even drew a
positive response at the ticket windows in the 8 am show on Friday. This had
virtually stopped to happen after 3 Idiots, which also was incidentally helmed
by Hirani. There are many interesting portions in the film, and by-n-large, it
has also received good reviews.
SpotboyE.com editor Vickey Lalwani rated the film 3-stars. Here are a
few extracts from his review.
“You can swear on your dearest person living that
Rajkumar Hirani couldn't have cast anybody else other than Ranbir Kapoor.
That's the first thought that comes to mind as the Munnabhai director's celluloid
version of Sanjay Dutt's life begins to engage you from the second reel (the
start is a bit off-tangent). A similar thought had crossed our minds when we
saw Rockstar, Tamasha and Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, and RK continues to be in top
form, not erring even once in any given frame.”
Ranbir Kapoor And Dia Mirza In Sanju
“Next up, is Vicky Kaushal who will unfailingly lift several awards for playing
RK's Gujju buddy. This is Vicky's best performance- he has gone far ahead of
his histrionics in Raazi.”
“Vulgarity hits the roof when Ranbir invades Sonam's house to seize alcohol,
visits a strip bar and beds Vicky's pink girlfriend. Why have Abhijat Joshi and
Raju Hirani made corny stuff in the name of humour a prominent feature in their
scripts after the Munnabhai series?”
“But what also hits you, besides the corniness, is that
why has the media been painted so black in the film? I mean, yes you can harp
on the question mark RDX truck story which seemingly stirred a storm in Dutt's
teacup (unarguably an understatement for his sufferings), but so much so that
several sweeping statements are made to run down the Fourth Estate? Not done.”

FYI, SpotboyE.com also ran a very interesting Podcast debating about Sanju.
Congratulations, Team Sanju! This is indeed a master
stroke.
