help Sanju FAQ
Does Sanju cover Sanjay Dutt's involvement in the 1993 Bombay bombings?
The film depicts Dutt obtaining illegal weapons during the period surrounding the 1993 Bombay bombings and his later prosecution. It emphasizes that he was convicted under the Arms Act rather than of carrying out the bombings themselves.

Ranbir Kapoor plays Dutt across several stages of his life, with changing weight, hair, and prosthetic makeup. Paresh Rawal portrays his father, actor and politician Sunil Dutt.
Is Kamli in Sanju a real person?
Vicky Kaushal’s Kamli is generally understood as a composite character rather than a literal portrait of one named friend. The role represents important friendships that supported Dutt through addiction, legal trouble, and imprisonment.
Why was Sanju criticized despite its box-office success?
Some critics argued that Rajkumar Hirani’s 2018 film softens Sanjay Dutt’s responsibility and redirects blame toward the media or bad influences. The film presents itself as a biographical drama, but it uses compression and fictionalization rather than functioning as a neutral record.
