Sanjay Dutt has been glorified as a macho man and he has mostly portrayed roles of policemen, thugs and gangsters. In the film “Dushman”, he plays a blind military veteran. The entire film had some brilliant songs by the neglected composer, Uttam Singh, but this song bringing alive a dream sequence on Kajol and Dutt is the most perfect one.
Aye Shivani (1999)

Dutt left us surprised by singing this comic number for the 1999 hit “Khoobsurat”. He and Urmila Matondkar are seen in the lead roles. We cannot underestimate Dutt’s mind blowing singing talent. His mellow and heavy voice intensify the glamour and texture of this magnetic song.

“Bhopu Baj Raha Hai” is a quintessential 90’s style Bollywood melody from the recent Sanjay Dutt biopic, “Sanju”. Ranbir Kapoor as Sanjay Dutt copies his classic dance moves. Nakash Aziz, who started his musical journey as an amateur assisting A.R Rahman did a great job as a singer.
Sanjay Dutt once said that passion gives me emotional strength, passion gives me power. His passion for acting is clearly depicted in his films. He has always had the power to put a smile on the faces of his audience.
