Shabd (2005)
I will never understand why, when it comes to naming Sanjay’s best achievements on the silver screen, Shabd hardly ever is named. Sanjay is brilliant as the introvert and schizophrenic writer Shaukat who in the end cracks completely – an unforgettable scene where Sanjay seems to break the line between acting and being. Shaukat is probably his most ambitious role to date, and he shapes it with touching sensitivity.
