The way Ranveer Singh entered the character of Kapil Dev in the film 83, which came in the last month of last year, Alia has become a complete Gangubai in this film. Body language, style, manner of conversation is like Gangubai in every way. As per reviews, there is also a little bit of overacting by the lead actress Alia Bhatt. The cast of the cute-looking Alia Bhatt in the character of Gangubai is a sight to behold and her dialogues are awesome. Alia is the life of this film and she is the topper. She is also heavy on the story. Seema Pahwa has been amazing in the character of Sheela Bai. Ajay Devgn has also done wonders in the role of Rahim Lala.

Review of the Movie

The story of this film is composed in a brilliant manner and the filming is also colourful. Utkarshini Vashishtha, Prakash Kapadia could have made the story better and deeper. The speech that Alia gives in Azad Maidan has been brilliant. The film continues to impress in pieces during Ganga Ke Gangu and then Gangubai. Although there are many weak sides it cannot be denied. The art direction of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's films is impressive but it was the weakest in this film. The sets of his films are the best, he has shown this strong side in Bajirao Mastani and Padmaavat but this time his Kamathipura felt fake.
