The most appropriate of screen goodbyes came with Raju Hirani's magnificent Munnabhai MBBS, which allowed Dutt to tweak his son Sanjay's ear on screen before he left us all.
It also gave Dutt the chance to see Sanjay hit a career peak, and share the screen with him at the same time. It was truly a special role for Dutt, and while he was not around for the film's sequel, his mention therein made sure not a dry eye was left in the theatre.
