My Take
What draws me to Sanjay Dutt is not the box-office tally of 135-plus films but the texture of the flawed men he plays so convincingly. He has never been the polished, untouchable hero; his most memorable roles carry damage, regret, and a kind of weary tenderness. I suspect that authenticity is hard-won, that a turbulent life off screen feeds the intensity on it. Add producing, singing, and politics, and you have a restless, multi-hyphenate survivor. For me, Dutt is most compelling precisely when he lets the cracks show, and I think that vulnerability is his real signature.
