Gangubai Kathiawadi Movie Review

Set totally against this grim background of Mumbai, director Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s film ‘Gangubai Kathiawadi’ portrays the narrative of numerous young women who had been auctioned off to brothels for just a few hundred rupees, exclusively through the perspective of its protagonist Gangubai (Alia Bhatt).

The film’s charm resides in depicting Gangu’s character evolving through several stages of her life. The story takes its time to develop, even slowing down at times, but it does so without losing its punch, thanks to some furious discussions and powerful scenes.

This is an Alia Bhatt show from start to finish, as she plays the boss lady in a world of brothels and insatiable men. She delivers heavily weighted dialogues with tremendous confidence, daring, and a killer instinct.

Even in a small role as Rahim Lala, Ajay Devgn makes an impression. Vijay Raaz, Seema Pahwa, and Jim Sarbh, among the remaining supporting cast, gave it they’re all. Shantanu Maheshwari, who plays Gangu’s love interest, does excellent.

Bhansali’s story is structured like a book, with each obstacle and episode acting as a chapter.

This film, like any other Bhansali film, is a visual feast. The camera caught the gloomy lanes of Mumbai’s red-light district with opulence and plenty of gloss. Yes, the story brings to light some sad facts regarding our society as well as the lives of sex workers, as well as raising some hard-hitting and timely topics, but there is still much regarding her life that is unknown. The screenplay falls short here, relying on a few well-crafted emotional situations and heavy-duty conversations to keep you entertained for a while. However, the picture becomes too long for its running time beyond a certain point.
