I've seen it already and have got a firm opinion which... I can't reveal till midnight on 10th September due to a publication ban.
NIGHT FILM MARATHON - THE NIGHT OF HORRORS
I skipped the scary as hell "Conjuring" and less scary "Conjuring 2" as I had seen both before and saw only:
Watchable. The scares comprise of roaring corpses of nuns. One of James Wan's worse films. Better than "Jigsaw" but far below "Insidious", "Conjuring" or "Saw". He co-scripted it, maybe that's why. The plot is certainly gripping. But those nuns with horse-like teeth - no, no, no.
SANJU
Watchable. About Sanjay Dutt - none of my faves but as a biography it must be honest since it's so unfavourable to the Bollywood star: drugs, sex, alcohol. In fact he's portrayed as an irretrievable drug addict. Still, that's secondary to the main case: his terrorist charges and the verdict the press passed on him, smartly becoming unsuable themselves through putting a question mark at the end of each headline - educative but not a must-see. His private life is more interesing, i.e. his addiction. It's a tragicomedy with the emphasis on the comic part, e.g. "Your son is your father's reincarnation" - on which Sanjay immediately hides his cigarette. The first half of end credits shows Sanjay Dutt himself dancing and lip syncing. It's the only complete song in the film, it's rap and with fat dancers, one even obese.
