IMHO, all this noise about the judgement meted out to Sanjay Dutt being unfair is, well, just noise. The fact is that he carried arms and if he claims that it was for his protection (yeah, right), then he should have taken prior permission. And if he was not a celebrity, he would have been behind bars a long time ago with a much more severe punishment.
Sanjay Dutt has some good qualities as an actor and might be a much more sober and reformed person now. But if he had been acquitted, it would have set a terrible precedent, since his has been one of the cases with better clarity. Till he walks out free, which I think will be much sooner than the remaining 4.5 years as he is expected to behave well in jail, folks should be satisfied with this version.
As I write about this, Madani has been acquitted from the Coimbatore serial blasts case. Huh!
Can Sonjay Dutt act as well apart from being in WWF?? 😉
purely in a lighter vein and I respect Sanjay Dutt for his great movies…
@Siva: True. But if one tries to be cynical about this whole affair, he can argue that his ‘feel good’ movies are a deliberate strategy to garner public sympathy. We would never know. What say?
I too had a similar feeling when he was part of ‘socially provocative’ movies. I felt it was a deliberate move to make the public sympathize for him. We all know of Indians who cry on watching movies or who hail miscreants just because of a pristine role they played in a movie
