That early scene, a stunning chiaroscuro, with the camera pulling back as the newbie Gangubai learns to call out to potential punters, is a classic.

New York Magazine/Vulture

Rather than trying to eke out a new place for sex workers in conservative society, it makes the convincing case that they are already a vital fixture.

Alia Bhatt nails it with elan in this grand melodramatic spectacle by Bhansali.

Deadline Hollywood Daily

Every minute of those two and a half hours is ravishingly entertaining. The songs, written by the director, bounce along energetically; the camera does much the same thing, zooming and zig-zagging in a powerhouse effort to maintain a rollercoaster pace.

Santanu Das

Hindustan Times

The standout moment - where she dances with a streak of reckless abandon in the song Dholida, still gives goosebumps.

But Why Tho? A Geek Community

Gangubai Kathiawadi may be exaggerated and dramatized, but it is an epic and moving history of a woman and women that would otherwise be ignored and forgotten.

Rated: 9/10

It changes your perspective towards prostitute and attitude/mindset towards sex workers who have been denied the basic right to be treated as humans.
