Cast: Sanjay Dutt, Namrata Shirodhkar,Sanjay Narvekar, Ashish Vidyarthi, Mohnish Behl, Reema Lagoo, Shivaji Satam

Vaastav – The Reality opened to packed theatres and pleased critics on 7 October 1999. Directed by Mahesh Manjrekar and starring Sanjay Dutt and Namrta Shirodhkar, Vaastav was a crime drama with emphasis on the mob war which was prevalent in Mumbai.
Moving away from the usual filmy versions of the underworld, Mahesh Manjrekar chose to make it as close to reality as possible, without compromising the movie’s capability to entertain. Vaastav was a huge box office of 1999 and Sanjay Dutt’s performance in the movie is considered as one of his best ones ever.
Vaastav bagged Sanjay Dutt many awards the following year. He won the Filmfare Award for Best Actor, the Screen Award for Best Actor and went on to win the IIFA Award for Artistic Excellence. Mahesh Manjrekar followed it up with a sequel in 2002. Titled “Hathyar”, the sequel which had Sanjay Dutt and Namrata Shirodhkar reprising their roles also starred Shilpa Shetty. But it could not repeat the success of Vaastav and ended up as a commercial and critical failure. |
