A Voz do Empoderamento

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.

Alia does it again, acting runs in her blood and she proves it everytime.

Powerful dialogues, great performance by her.

She is getting better with time.

Ajay was as he always is ,short and serious role.

The journey of Gangubai Kathiawadi was definitely worth a trip to cinemas after two long years. Alia Bhatt delivers a powerful performance and her finest yet. This goes on to say a lot considering the quality of work she has done so far. Ajay Devgn has such a solid screen presence. Inspite of having limited time he steals every scene he is in. The film has Sanjay Leela Bhansali's stamp all over it. The powerful drama, cinematography, sets, costumes, dialogues all quintessential Bhansali.

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!
