Sanju‘ is an entertaining and emotional retelling of Sanjay Dutt’s tumultuous life which was presented beautifully by ace filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani on the celluloid. ‘Sanju’ had emerged not only as the biggest opener of all time, but it also recorded the biggest opening weekend of all time in Bollywood. Both the records were previously held by Salman Khan-starrer ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’ which released during the Christmas weekend last year.

Rajkumar Hirani is known to be a fame changer in many ways. Rajkumar Hirani’s talent for emotional manipulation made viewers reflect on the need for empathy and humanity in modern medicine (Munnabhai M.B.B.S.), a film which brought back Sanjay Dutt as an actor.

Speaking about the success of ‘Sanju’, Rajkumar Hirani had earlier said,” I am thankful to the viewers who’ve embraced the film and made it their own. All I can say is that I feel blessed. There is no mantra. You just have to make a film and hope that people like it. At this moment, I can only be thankful to the viewers who have embraced the film and made it their own, because, before the release of the movie, we all were nervous. It was an exam-like feeling. When a filmmaker makes a film, he wants that the audience likes it. I was waiting for reactions and now I feel very good that people have made it their own.”

Rajkumar Hirani’s film, ‘Sanju’ proved to be a game changer for Ranbir Kapoor’s career graph and with every film of his having a 100 percent success rate, ‘Rajkumar Hirani’ remains one of the best profitable directors of Bollywood.
