Gangubai Kathiawadi

The movie is well directed .. Alia Bhatt gave a magnificent performance .. a good film .. Ajay Devgan rocked his role .. the movie goes on at a nice pace and keeps us engaged .. please watch at the theatres for a great experience.

Gorgeous Bhansali sets, photography, soulful music and a career best performance by Alia Bhatt. Her voice, mannerisms and acting is spot on. Ajay devgan gives a powerful guest appearance.

Glorified prostitution at its best especially if you are more receptive and open-minded. Sanjay Leela Bhansali strikes again with great musical and cinematography. Alia sinks her teeth into challenging role and defines various stages of Gangu's life.

Seldom will you find, a performance so sublime, as you're taken on the journey, of Gangubai Kathiawadi, through a life she did not plan, having been sold by her man, into the streets of female labour, of the kind, most would not savour.

You can applaud as many western best female actors to your hearts content, but I've not seen any of them match the overwhelming and outstanding performance that Alia Bhatt gives us here, as she takes us on a journey through the brothels of Mumbai, of the pain and the punishment inflicted once you've been imprisoned in a world with no escape, and the incredible way that hope and belief can change the lives of everyone around you.

Absolutely outstanding!

When it comes to Hindi cinema, Alia Bhatt is so far ahead of all the other actresses in her era. As Gangubai she completely steals the show and delivers an emotional and realistic performance.

The movie in general is compelling with an interesting message about a taboo topic. As is usual with SLB movies, it is a visual treat.
