Vaastav
Sanjay
Dutt's
Vaastav
was
all
the
rage
when
it
hit
the
theatres
in
1999,
and
the
gangster
drama
ended
up
minting
a
lot
of
money
at
the
box
office.
His
acting
was
so
amazing,
that
one
could
really
believe
that
Sanjay
Dutt
is
a
gunda
without
a
doubt!
Not
to
forget
his
most
famous
dialogue
which
he
says
to
his
mother
'Pachchas
tola
pachhas
tola,
kitna
pachchas
tola,'
and
goes
on
a
hysterical
laughter.
Khalnayak
Khalnayak
was
a
cult
movie
and
brought
Sanjay
Dutt
back
to
stardom
in
1993.
He
was
evil,
mean
and
a
gunda,
but
still
people
loved
his
character
and
persona
in
the
movie.
He
carried
the
role
with
so
much
ease
and
one
could
actually
feel
his
anger
and
hatred
as
the
audiences
connected
with
his
role
in
an
instant.
Also,
the
song
'Nayak
nahi
khalnayak
hoon
main' was
a
massive
hit
and
is
played
in
several
radio
stations
even
now.
Munna
Bhai
M.B.B.S
Before
Munna
Bhai
M.B.B.S
released,
Sanjay
Dutt
was
considered
as
a
baddie,
but
this
movie
changed
his
whole
persona.
People
shed
his
bad
image
and
embraced
his
positive
image
as
the
film
was
all
about
hope
and
love.
Munna
Bhai
M.B.B.S
changed
Sanjay
Dutt,
Rajkumar
Hirani
and
Vidhu
Vinod
Chopra's
life
for
the
good.
Lagey
Raho
Munna
Bhai
Sanjay
Dutt's
positive
image
continued
through
Lagey
Raho
Munna
Bhai
and
the
audiences
were
happy
that
they
got
a
double
bonanza
as
the
sequel
was
as
good
or
even
better
than
the
prequel.
Even
till
date,
when
people
think
of
Sanjay
Dutt,
they
think
of
Munna
Bhai
and
the
positivity
that
comes
through
his
character.
Dhamaal
Sanjay
Dutt's
most
memorable
comedy
movie
was
Dhamaal
and
it
tickled
the
audiences' funny
bone.
It
was
so
funny,
that
people
found
it
tough
to
sit
in
the
theatres
without
laughing
out
on
top
of
their
voices.
Especially
the
scene
where
Javeed
Jafferi
and
Arshad
Warsi
take
a
lift
and
the
driver
in
question,
introduces
himself
as
'Muthu
Swamy
Iyer'
and
continues
saying
his
extended
full
name
until
they
reach
the
destination
was
really
something!
Saajan
Sanjay
Dutt
and
Salman
Khan
do
everything
possible
to

being
a
musical
hit.
It
had
such
romantic
songs
such
as
Mera
Dil
Bhi
Kitna
Paagal
Hai,
Dekha
Hai
Pehli
Baar,
Tum
Se
Milne
Ki
Tamanna
Hain
and
Bahut
Pyar
Karte
Hain.
Also,
the
movie
ended
up
being
trolled
on

Jail
Mein'.

sparked
outrage
by
the
Sikh

However,
it

indeed

during
the

as
it
kept
them
all
on
the
edge
of
their
