Veteran crime reporter Baljeet Parmar was an imperative link in the 1993 Mumbai serial blast case. It was his astute observation that eventually led to him break the story of Sanjay Dutt’s involvement in the same.
The journalist, who hasn’t stepped into a cinema hall since more than a decade, is adamant on not watching the film. He believes that the filmmaker, Rajkumar Hirani is selling Sanjay Dutt’s story, simply because Sanjay Dutt sells.
I very strongly feel that it is a waste of time to discuss merits or demerits of films like ‘Sanju’ or its protagonist Sanjay Dutt. Hirani and his ilk are out there to make a quick buck. That is their business and they have every right to do it. They are there to compose fiction and not portraying facts. Fiction is soft. Facts are hard. One is very easy to manufacture, the other is difficult to gather.

He even went on to trash the biopic genre that seems to be rampantly taking over Bollywood.
The so-called biopics are tailored to suit the man or the woman they are based on. They are not to inspire the audiences but are there to create a smokescreen to blur their minds.

In reference to Sanju, Baljeet Parmar is sure that the film is a way to whitewash Sanjay Dutt’s image.
The use or misuse of drugs, sleeping with women, branding media as an addictive potion, finding faults with system or society, willingly and knowingly indulge in criminal activity, showing no remorse for your past actions, playing the sympathy card and crying victim, if that is what ‘Sanju’ is about, I do not regret my decision of staying away from cinema halls.
