NoraNora On Throwback Thursday

The actor, who made his in Rs 6k animal-print SBollywood debut with the super hit film Rocky in 1981, completed 40 years in the industry this year. In the four decades of his illustrious career, the actor gave many memorable performances in bralette and skirt various films.

On Sanjay Dutt's birthday today, we revisit Vaastav and see how Sanjay Dutt set a new benchmark for himself, and Insta followers the Hindi film industry, with Vaastav. It will be no exaggeration if we say the Mahesh Manjrekar directorial venture rides on Dutt's shoulders. SANJAY DUTT IN VAASTAV, NEVER SEEN BEFORE When Vaastav released in 1999, people expected it to be like any run-of-the-mill film, given that underworld movies were quite common by then and all of them had similar plotlines. Vaastav was not idiosyncratic in that sense; and was like most Bollywood gangster movies with the same story, that of a lower middle-class man who accidentally gets involved with the underworld. Circumstances lead him to become the leader of them all to finally die a tragic death. Vaastav was also all about that. But there was still a difference. This time, we had Sanjay Dutt who didn't just flex his muscles and dilate his pupils, but also showed a different persona of himself as Raghunath Namdev Shivalkhar AKA Raghu. Director Mahesh Manjrekar exploited the two things that Sanjay Dutt is known for - his physique and those eyes. The actor's personal experiences in jail and his interactions with criminals helped him infuse life into the character.
