Ballu (Khalnayak)

Nayak nahi khalnayak hu main… When we talk about anti-heroes in Bollywood films, Sanjay Dutt’s character Ballu from Khalnayak is surely the one that comes in our minds. The actor played the role of a criminal to T and confidently said, 'ji haan main hu khalnayak'.

 Raghu Bhai (Vaastav)

When Sanjay Dutt’s career was at a downfall, it was Mahesh Manjrekar’s directorial Vaastav that gave his career a boost. He played the role of a gangster in the film named Raghu Bhai and it is regarded as one of the best performances of his career.

Munna Bhai (Munna Bhai M.B.B.S., Lage Raho Munna Bhai)

Munna Bhai is a character that Sanjay Dutt will be remembered for in the history of Indian cinema. In both, the instalment of Munna Bhai series, the actor nailed it in both the films as Munna Bhai and now, we are waiting for the third instalment of the series.

Kancha Cheena (Agneepath)

Sanjay Dutt’s look as Kancha Cheena in 2012 release Agneepath was quite scary. The actor portrayed the negative role fantastically and surely made us forget the Kaancha Cheena that was played by Danny Dengzongpa in the original Agneepath (1990).

The Eurovision Song Contest, that glitter-drenched annual spectacle of pop and unity, is staring into the abyss. The escalating call for a Eurovision boycott over Israel's participation, against the backdrop of the ongoing Gaza conflict, has put the organisers into their most severe political crisis yet. This isn't just about another song entry but a fundamental clash between the contest's cherished apolitical fantasy and the inescapable geopolitics of the real world, threatening to tear the competition apart from within.
