    Sanjay Dutt Proves that he is not a bad man!

    As a Bollywood fan I have been collecting and watching Bollywood movies for almost 2 years. I was never a fan but I was introduced to Bollywood movies by a great friend of mine. One day my friend let me have this Sanjay dutt movie called "NAAM" this was my first Sanjay Dutt movie i have ever watched and when I saw this movie Sanjay Dutt became my favorite actor. we all know about Sanjay Dutt and how he has gone through problems but if you really know sanjay dutt and about his personal life and how he has gone through the worse. I could tell by watching this movie and the way sanjay was acting it showed that he is not a bad person. I mean just watch it you can feel the emotions. As far as the movie it was great outstanding performances from each cast. It has this one memorable song called, "Chitte aaye hai" by listening to that song it almost made me cry. i would not like to give a summary of the movie because I would spoil it but I definitely recommend this movie to any reader that is reading this right now to go either rent it or if you are a collector like me grab this copy as keep it in your collection.

    Best Movie

    After watching this movie I felt that this movie really touches your heart. Its a must watch movie if you appreciate good movies. It also lime-lights the facts in life, the ethics that what to follow and what not to. It also gives essence to nationality and the pain one goes though without their family and loved ones. The love for one's mother, one's brother and the responsibility one should never forget is the main theme of the movie. Life has no meaning without near and dear ones. I think Kumar Gaurav and Sanjay Dutt did a splendid job and there is no other way to make this film better. I think this movie is a milestone to the history of Indian Film Industry.

    Outstanding

    Naam is a terrific treat and a great film, The music and the acting of Sanjay Dutt was out of this world.

    The story at the start is slow and boring but it's worth the wait because the second part of the film is outstanding and Sanjay Dutt in this section of the film is out of this world and gives Amitabh Bachchan a run for his money, Reminds you of the similarities of the role Amitabh Bachchan plays in some of his early films, A Shame Sanjay Dutt couldn't do roles like this more often, A one off Sanjay Dutt stunner,

    A must watch Film, A film you can watch over and over again.

    Mahesh Bhatt, Sanju and Kumar Gaurav stunner

    What a brilliant piece of work by Mahesh Bhatt to start with. Such a great movie one can relate to - completely different from larger than life stories. Such touching dialogues.. Aadmi Karz toh chuka sakta hei, ehsaan nahi.... Ravi mujhe bacha le Ravi, mei bahut thak gaya hu .. list is endless

    Class acting by both Sanjay Dutt and Kumar Gaurav! A person who has stood by Sanju in real life and reel life. Also great acting by Amrita Singh when she asks Kumar Gaurav to save Sanju.. Last but not the least.. Chitthi aayi hei song... Must have heard it 1000 times atleast! So emotional and beautiful..

    Overall a great once in lifetime type movie, such a great depiction of importance of close relationships in life

    one of the greatest performance of Sanju

    It is one of greatest performance ever made by Sanjay Dutt. this movie is primarily based on the firm bondage between two brothers Sanjay Dutt and Kumar Gourav and gradually turned into the saga of Sanjay alone. This film also made Paresh Rawal as a stunning villain of Hindi film industry. The song Chtti Aihey by Pankaj Udhas is one of his most touching songs. Above all this film is the turning point of the career of Sanjay Dutt and the mile stone for director Mahesh Bhatt as a commercial director.
