The Indian film industry has reacted with relief to this verdict. Here is what some of his colleagues had to say:

Dino Morea: Thank god he has been acquitted from TADA. That was the big worry for all those who love this fabulous guy. Without sounding biased, let me say Sanjay Dutt is a person who wouldn't hurt a fly. He shouldn't suffer any more. I'm glad he got bail.

Shilpa Shetty: I'm so glad he has been acquitted for the TADA case. I've had the opportunity to know him and work with him. I cannot imagine him being a criminal or a terrorist. He is too good-hearted to hurt anyone intentionally. But at the same time the judiciary has been fair. Let's wait and watch.

Rahul Bose: The verdict is comparatively mild, but nonetheless a blow to Sanjay Dutt and his family. So far, he has shown tremendous strength of will. I hope he'll be as strong no matter what the sentence.

Irrfan Khan: I wanted to see him free. I'm grieved.

Madhur Bhandarkar: This verdict is the best that Sanjay and all his well-wishers - and that includes practically everyone in the industry - could have hoped for. The industry can breathe a sigh of relief, both on a personal and professional level. So much finance was hanging on the verdict. I'm sure the worst is over for Sanjay and filmmakers who were holding their breath.

Sujoy Ghosh: Sanjay Dutt cannot be guilty of any crimes. He's everyone's super-hero. So, I am happy he's almost out of it.

Sanjay Gupta: The greatest thing about the verdict is the victory of justice. Thanks to the verdict, the name of the distinguished Dutt family remains untarnished. The Dutts' years of selfless service to the country and its people stands vindicated. And we've the judiciary and the Almighty to thank for that.
