Critics' Verdict

Gangubai Kathiawadi is elevated by Alia Bhatt’s commanding performance, Sanjay Bhansali’s lavish visual craft, strong dialogue and accomplished ensemble. Critics mainly faulted its uneven pacing, simplified characterization and tendency to glorify rather than fully examine its complex protagonist.
