SANJU: How Rajkumar Hirani has revived Ranbir Kapoor’s career?

 Sanju opened to a thunderous response at the box-office yesterday, with fans and critics both completely spellbound over Ranbir Kapoor’s portrayal of Sanjay Dutt. Yes, there were some expected criticisms as well, with people calling this film an emotionally manipulative attempt to whitewash Dutt’s controversial image. But given this is a biopic on the life of a movie star, that too with a roller-coaster life that includes everything from drugs to sex to repentance, such opinions were inevitable.

But coming to Rajkumar Hirani, even his least rousing films seem more soaring than some of the others’ best works, the same holds true for Sanju. And Ranbir has proven yet again there’s hardly any role he’s incapable of pulling off. After a string of failures, he finally has a bona-fide hit in his career. Kudos to Hirani for reviving Ranbir’s career and giving him one of the best performances of his career. This is the same filmmaker who breathed life to Sanjay Dutt’s ailing career with Munna Bhai M.B.B.S. IN 2003.

It’s quite ironic that Hirani has revived Ranbir’s career by giving him the biopic of the same person whose professional life was resurrected by Hirani himself.
