In his review of NDTV, Saibal Chatterjee writes: "Director and co-writer Rajkumar Hirani takes liberties with true events for the purpose of bolstering the film's emotional appeal, but he does not let Sanju turn into a mere cinematic apologia for a temperamental movie star's many indiscretions. Together with screenwriter Abhijat Joshi, he crafts an intelligent script that highlights the upheavals unleashed in Dutt's life by drugs, alcohol, girls, guns and goons. The film is marked by both empathy and surprising bluntness. ".

Regarding "Sanju", Alia said: "I really liked it. It is a fantastic, fabulous and an outstanding film. I think in my top 10 best film list, 'Sanju' is high up there. Ranbir is outstanding in it. Vicky Kaushal and Paresh ji (Rawal) also did a fantastic job. Everyone including Anushka (Sharma) and Sonam (Kapoor) did really good job. It's a full package." Praising Rajkumar Hirani's direction, Alia said: "I am really big fan of Rajkumar Hirani so whenever his films come out, I cannot wait to see it and every time, he manages to hit out of the park. It is one of the best films that we have right now in the past couple of years." Alia played an undercover agent in her latest film "Razee" which saw a critical and commercial success and for that she received the Best Actress award at the Navbharat Times Utsav. "I am very thankful to Navbharat Times as they honoured me with the Best Actress award for my performance in 'Razee'. Initially people thought that 'Razee' was slightly risky and an off-beat film but when you receive an award for such a film then it feels very nice because that means people have liked the film and it also gives courage to an actor to make such kind of brave choices. "The kind of love and appreciation the film has received, nothing beats that. 'Razee' was based on a true story so we were very emotional with the release of the film. Now it has been fully accepted and loved, I feel very relieved." Giving update on her shooting schedule, Alia said: "Right now, I am shooting back and forth for 'Kalank' and 'Brahmastra'." Alia will be next seen with Ranveer Singh in Zoya Akhtar's "Gully Boy", followed by Abhishek Varman's "Kalank" opposite Varun Dhawan and after that, Ayan Mukherji's trilogy "Brahmastra" opposite Ranbir Kapoor.
