Raima Sen & Sanjay Dutt Movies Together List — 4 Films

The shape of the work

The 2000s account for 75% of everything they made together. The 1990s belonged to Dus; the 2000s to Parineeta. Raima Sen acted in every film; Sanjay Dutt acted in all of them. Strictly Hindi cinema — they never crossed industries together.

Partnership facts

• Raima Sen was just 17 when she signed Dus (1997) opposite Sanjay Dutt, who was 38. She later admitted she was terrified of him on the first day of shoot — until he cracked a joke about her nervousness and broke the ice.
• In Parineeta (2005), Sanjay Dutt deliberately underplayed his scenes with Raima. He told the director he wanted her character's innocence to dominate their exchanges — so he softened his voice and slowed his delivery to match her natural rhythm.
• During the shoot of Eklavya: The Royal Guard (2007), Sanjay Dutt would bring Raima Sen homemade biryani from his Bandra house every Friday. She later called him 'the most protective co-star' she ever had.
• Raima Sen on Sanjay Dutt: 'He treated me like a little sister. On the sets of Dus, he would check if I had eaten, if I was comfortable. I never felt like a newcomer around him.'
• Their pairing in Parineeta (2005) directly led to Sanjay Dutt being cast in the Bengali remake of the same story — he played the same role in the 2010 Bengali film 'Parineeta' because the original Hindi director insisted no one else could match Raima's energy.
