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.

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.

This is only the 2nd subtitled movie I've watched from India (1st one Badhaai Do) and I'm pleasantly surprised by the tough storyline of this movie and all the actor's emotional performances to help tell the story. To be honest, the inclusion of a little song and dance in such a harsh subject movie is a bit new to me but it was still a very good movie to see even subtitled. For those that have not seen any Indian movies, go see this one. It's well done. You may want to sit up a little closer to read the subtitles easier. I will be keeping my eye out for other movies from India.

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.

At first you wonder whether Alia can do this role. This isn't her comfort zone. But she definitely delivers. The cute, girl next door role is traded for a mesmerising controlling role of Gangubai and she owns it. Excellent visual appeal, as you expect from a Sanjay Leela Bansali movie. The music is outstanding throughout. Dholida makes you fall in love with solo garba, and Alia's performance in that song is jaw dropping. Worth waiting for. Her final speech where she sits and delivers to an audience is Amtiabh Bachchan-esque. Ajay Devgan is brilliant albeit a cameo role. Worth a watch to see how well Alia delivers the Mafia Queen role!
