Sanju is that rare film that can still be watched in theatres after a month of its release. With other movies, people begin to wait for them to debut on TV or streaming services after a month of their release. But Sanju is an exception. Directed by Rajkumar Hirani and starring Ranbir Kapoor, Sanju is a biopic of controversial actor Sanjay Dutt. In its remarkable run, this film has managed to survive even as new film releases have threatened to oust it from theatres.
The movie also stars Paresh Rawal, Vicky Kaushal, Manisha Koirala, Dia Mirza, Sonam Kapoor, Anushka Sharma and Jim Sarbh.
Of course, Sanju may fade away pretty soon but it has already left a lasting impression. It is by far the highest grossing film of the year. It has also broken several other box office records, and perhaps at the end of its theatrical run, it will end up breaking many more.
