March 17, 2019 2:40 PM

Sanju explores some of the most crucial chapters from movie star Sanjay Duttl's dramatic and controversial real life. It gives a lowdown on his struggles with drugs and his trials and tribulations in the Arms Acts case and the 1993 Mumbai blasts.

On the one hand, Sanjay Dutt is a wildly charismatic performer with a colorful and dramatic life who almost certainly got a real deal legally because of his father's political activity, and it's good to hear his side of the story.

OTOH, it's not entirely unfair to summarize his idea of the story as YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THE DEPTHS OF MY PAINFUL, PRIVILEGED MAN FEELS!

Maybe just watch the Munna Bhai movies instead.

This is well done for what it is, but even adjusting for cultural relativism, I think the average MeFite is going to have a tough time dealing with this level of man baby.

"Raw deal" that should say, not "real deal.,"
