Duped and sold to a brothel, a young woman fearlessly reclaims her power, using underworld connections to preside over the world she was once a pawn in.
sadmansakibayon - 11 June 2024 A different performance experience of Alia Bhatt Sanjay Leela Bhansali was able to portray the life of a prostitute. The society where prostitutes are being seen as the product of lust or as a bad omen, this prostitute plays an important role for the welfare of the society. Her looks, mannerism, the style of walking justified the role of "Gangubai". The dialogues were powerful, expressive and managed to narrate the story of Gangubai perfectly.
Ajay Devgan as Karim Lala added the flavour to the movie. Recreation of 60's were well executed. Cinematography is top notch.
More powerful impacts would have been potrayed if Vijay Raaz's screen space wasn't restricted as he justified his 5 mins with power-packed performance.
If there could have been more presence of Ajay Devgan as Karim Lala's influence on Gangu Bai's life was very vital, so more incidents should have been portrayed.
Overall a watchable movie as we could see a different performance experience of Alia Bhatt.
gujjalaprabhat - 9 September 2023 Alia gave an amazing performance. Just Amazing. This is one of the best Biopic which gave me goosebumps. Such a strong character and such a great performance by the cast, that was just an amazing bliss to watch. Sanjay Leela Bhansali did it again. His movies always bring out the spark that is needed to brighten up the whole audience.
Give it a go. This movie is surely not a disappointment for sure. The acting is top-notch. It won't be lagging or it won't get boring either. Alot of lessons to be learnt. Just an amazing cinematography.
Also kudoos to the whole team of Gangubai. They did an excellent job in portrayal of their character and roles. Just Awesome.
