PS: Did they release Shikayat video? Divine song and Huma was beautiful in it

Shikayat was my favorite song. A very pleasant surprise because I had never heard it before I watched it in the movie. It really hit me hard in the feels

What can I say guys....Came back from watching the movie but still not able to come back from the SLB’s masterfully created world of Gangubai. I know some of the reviews were saying it was just a one time watch, but I know I am going to watch this movie at least one more time because come on, it’s not everyday you get to watch such masterpieces.

This is easily Alia’s the best performance so far and won’t be surprised if she isn’t able to top this for the rest of her career because the role she got here is a once in a lifetime kind of a role. And one just has to see it to believe it! No wonder SLB picked wanted her as his titular character.

Those who said SLB was in Alia’s world must be just exaggerating or got carried away after watching the movie. I mean how can you even say such a stupid thing otherwise that SLB was in Alia’s world? Each and every meticulously put together frame has SLB’s touch to it. Not just Alia or the other main characters but even some random girl sitting silently in some far corner is made to look and act the part like as if she was the main character of the movie.How does he do it? First he makes them go through rigorous preparation sessions and then doesn’t capture the scene until they get it right even if he has to make them go through a 100 takes. Such was the length of detail to which SLB goes to.

Those who watched the movie aaj ke date me name just one director who is capable of creating such a masterpiece the way SLB did? No doubt it was Alia and the other actors (mainly Alia because she was literally there in each and every frame)who helped convey his vision to the audience but their every move, every dialog, every heart touching scene , their beautiful costumes, I mean you name it and it is entirely his vision.

You just have to go watch these actors in their other movies to see the contrast of what SLB does to them in his movies. He is one of those few directors where the actors have to surrender themselves to the director’s vision and strive to fit in and deliver because he simply doesn’t accept anything less than that. Those who said Karan forced SLB to take Alia, nahi behen/bhai sahab SLB doesn’t even pick a pet if it didn’t fit into his vision toh why would he pick up his titular character just because she was shoved down his throat? There is no other actress other than Alia who could’ve played this part the way Alia did in such a convincing manner. They probably think they were insulting Alia by summing up her act as playing dress up, but really they were displaying their own ignorance and pettiness!

Pheww...this was the first time I wrote this much for a movie review that too about a director! :)

Coming to the other actors, each and every one of them played their part really well. Ajay Devgan delivers the punch just the way we have come to expect of him. Vijay Raaj , the actress who plays Sheela maasi , Jim, the tailor guy with whom Gangu falls in love with and even the actors who played the minor roles-uff what masterclass performances by each one of them.!

The movie is going to move you to tears. It will make you understand the plight of the sex workers and why it’s important for them have their rights. It will make you sympathize and empathize with them. But I am glad that it isn’t some kind of a sob story or in your face disturbing. It does make you uncomfortable because that is exactly what the director intends to do, to make you uncomfortable and force you to think about those grossly mistreated and discriminated women. That’s the take away message he intends to send out!

I just realized I wrote a saga and didn’t even get to the main point about the loaded dialogs which are the jaan of movie, the beautifully conceptualized scenes, the background music etc. But I think I will just let you experience it for yourself!

beautiful reviews guys...thank you for sharing. Keep them coming❤️

Listening to it non stop! I am glad Huma was in it. Welcome change from all the modelesque girls we see usually.

Gangubai Kathiawadi Does Good Business Over First Weekend

Monday 28 February 2022 13.30 IST

Box Office India Trade Network

Gangubai Kathiawadi did good business over its first weekend as it collected 37.50 crore nett doing good business at most places and decent North. The North should be able to make up ground from today as Delhi night shows come into play and at 100% the occupancy. The occupancy will not matter much as weekday occupancy is well short of 50% anyway..

The best business for the film has come in Nizam / Andhra and Mumbai circuit but the biggest plus for the film is the business outside metros. The collections are not huge but centres like Ahmedabad, Jaipur and Indore as well as smaller cities like Gwalior, Amravati and Latur have all performed much better than you would expect for a heroine orientated film.

The weekend business is a huge plus for the industry as slowly it goes towards normality but for the film itself it needs to sustain well over the weekdays where the holiday on Tuesday will help. This weekend ensures the film will be a success but a much needed HIT is the result that would bolster confidence.

The flow of releases is limited still and Gangubai Kathiawadi should benefit from this. There is The Batman releasing next week but that is only one film and there are no holdovers competing for screens. This situation will change in a few weeks as many more films will compete for screen space on a weekly basis. The first weekend business of Gangubai Kathiawadi is as follows.

Friday - 9,75,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 12,50,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 15,25,00,000 apprx

TOTAL - 37,50,00,000 apprx
