A powerful drama!
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.
