A visual treat, but there�s a lot about Gangu''s story left to be told
So, if you�re seeking a real peek into Gangubai's life, also known as the Mumbai's Mafia Queen, then you will be left yearning for more. But even with whatever is packed into this drama, there are enough moments that will draw you into this world where nights seem endless and the lights never fade.(more)

Alia Bhatt makes this Sanjay Leela Bhansali spectacle real
Bhansali's penchant for heightened baroque tends to overwhelm his film. This time the story matches the tone, and makes for the kind of old-fashioned dialogue-heavy, sentiment-on-sleeve film which Bollywood is forgetting how to make.(more)

Alia Bhatt is luminous as Bhansali�s narrative rises, shines, dips, sinks and rises again
The perfection is sometimes cloying, such as when a sex worker dies and her colleagues stand around her like carefully arranged figures posing for a painting rather than flesh-and-blood beings mourning a friend�s death. These segments chip away at the film�s energy and soul.(more)

Alia Bhatt's biggest career risk pays off
Gangubai is not perfect. The film is about the choices she makes. There is very little emphasis on the wrong turns she makes in her journey to reach the top and meet the Prime Minister of the country to champion her cause.(more)

Gangubai Kathiawadi is a powerful saga that boasts of a career best performance by Alia Bhatt.
ANGUBAI KATHIAWADI's beginning portions are a bit dark and disturbing. The film gets better once Ganga turns into Gangu. The entire track of Shaukat Abbas Khan and Razia Bai are highly engrossing. All scenes of Rahim Lala give a lot of weightage to the narrative. The romantic track, though a bit weak, has some cute moments. Post-interval, the film drops at places but picks up in the Azad Maidan speech scene and in the last 15 minutes.(more)
