Is it more legendary when a biographical film puts aside the character works?

The song and dance part of this movie is very small. Compared with the amount of singing and dancing in many Indian movies, and the length of two and a half hours, it is almost equal to nothing. Generally, movies about a certain type of superstar biography are developed with a storyline that highlights the excellent and successful works of the superstar. They are served on a plate like a dish to show the two words of superstar, but they lose the invigoration. The narrative sense of the movie has to be lead by one after another with highly accomplished works, and the characters as "superstars" seem to be the embellishment of these works, such as "Bohemian Rhapsody" and "The Birth of a Star" Both focus on using the height of the work to achieve people.

This Bollywood movie is different. In the whole movie, apart from mentioning a small number of works and filming clips, it almost fades the halo of superstars to tell the ups and downs of an ordinary person's life. How can an ordinary person, or even an extremely loser, overcome the difficulties and embarrassments of life step by step by relying on friendship and family affection. Self-destruction-self-depravity-self-salvation, this is not enough. There is also the friendship and incomparably stronger family support than Jin Jian. There are few movies that have not highlighted the power of love. The shortcoming is that part of the emotional transition is unnatural, such as becoming a good friend. The process is too short. The emotional transition is a bit blunt...

Friendship is the weakest among the three plot development lines. The father-son relationship is very good. Many plots are tightly connected. For example, they have not given up after experiencing all kinds of torture in life, but in the end they are afraid that the title of terrorists will hang on their children and choose to commit suicide. After reading it, I found out why it was arranged like this. It is not artificial. It is actually very difficult to achieve this kind of emotional resonance because of cultural differences. I really like this way of telling superstars from the perspective of "people", rather than from the perspective of "superstars" about the achievements brought about by talents. The male protagonist's sharp performance, these two points alone, are worth 4 stars. .

Sanju quotes

  • Sanjay Dutt: Manyata, when the children are asked, "Is your father a terrorist?" they can say "No, their father is dead."

    [goes to commit suicide...]

    Manyata Dutt: Sanju! This will solve your problem, but not the children's! They'll still be called terrorist's children.

  • Sanjay Dutt: The first time I took drugs, it was because my father didn't like me. The second time, it was because my mother was dying. The third time, I was an addict.
