Do one thing everyday that scares you!- Eleanor Roosevelt
This is NOT the review of movie Sanju. I am no way defending the movie or being a critique. I can never be a critique even if I want to. But I definitely learned these life-lessons from Sanju movie and I have to tell. Are these the only lessons one can take away from the movie? Probably not! You learn what you are ready to learn and these are my take-aways!
Teacher appears when the student is ready.- Gautam Buddha
So, what is this post about? This post is about free and quick life-lessons that we know but probably forgot.
1. Bad choices make good stories. No explanations needed. This is one of the truest paradoxes that we learn in life as we try to live it. Manyata Dutt tells Sanjay to convince why people need to know Sanjay Dutt's story.
2. Camera hai. kisi ko bakshata nahin hai. Translation: Camera captures all/smallest details. Sunil Dutt scolds when Sanju is caught smoking a cigarette.
3. When you dance, the body generates chemicals that heal the body. The doctor explains the patients of the rehabilitation center in New York.
4. Sunil Dutt treats songs as teachers. He asks songs to show him direction when feeling low. Sunil Dutt explains the importance of songs and how songs guide him in the life whenever he feels low. "Main gaano ko ustaad bulata hu. Jab bhi udaas hota hu ustaad ko bolta hu koi raasta dikhao aur koi na koi gana rasta bata deta hai."
5. All is well that ends well. We all know, don't we!
6. Song/Teacher1: Na Muh Chupa ke jiyo, Na Sir jhuka ke jiyo. Sunil Dutt mentions this song when he is asking Sanjay Dutt not to fear anyone.
7. Song/Teacher2: Duniya me rehna hai to kaam kar pyaare. Sunil Dutt explains the importance of work/job in our lives through this song, when Sanjay Dutt's takes his acting not so serriously and suggests some changes in the schedule.
8. Song/Teacher3: Kuch to log kahenge, logo ka kam hai kehna. Third Ustaad/teacher of the song that has a very important role in this movie. Sunil Dutt mentions that Ustaad3 or Teacher 3 will help you face those who insult you, that he will stop caring about them.
9. Your story of adversity is always an inspiration for others if you dare telling it. This is an unspoken truth of life and this movie. Adversity does make a good teacher, the most realistic source of inspiration. You don't learn until you fall down. When you fall down, on-lookers also learn from this- either by the rock that made you fall or by the walk that made you stumble.
10. Your come-back will always be louder and better if you want to return and improve. This is something I have seen and realised. Definitely not the movies or series. I am talking about humans. The reason is you learn from your mistakes, you grow as a person. Things don't bother you as they did. You stay away from what you were neglecting in life or relationships/things you were taking for granted. The absence of these important aspects of life makes you humble and grateful.
Sanju Review
Since I am not a critique or someone who writes movie reviews- all I can say is that I enjoyed the movie. Acting of all the actors (specially Ranbir Kapoor, Vicky Kaushal and Paresh Rawal) is superb. I laughed, cried and got tense at times. We cannot tell story of someone's life in 3hrs, and I did not expect it from this movie. This movie is a medium to tell audience about Sanjay Dutt's two disputed aspects which have been verified/unverified so far i.e. drug addiction and Mumbai attack/terrorism/owning AK57 . I would not comment if I believed everything I saw, but I would definitely say that I don't have any reason not to believe. Sanjay Dutt has been in prison and he was released a few days early because of his good conduct.
That is all!
Before you go-
