Editor’s note: Gangubai Kathiawadi (2022) is predominantly a Crime, Drama, and Historical film imbued with personal nuance. Under the adept direction of Sanjay Leela Bhansali, the narrative flows with a consistent tempo and a strong sense of setting. Standout performances from the cast—particularly Alia Bhatt, Ajay Devgn, and Shantanu Maheshwari—infuse the story with emotional depth. With a runtime of 2 hours and 37 minutes, the pacing is measured, and scenes are concise. Although it has its imperfections, the film’s strengths significantly overshadow its flaws. The tagline—“Mafia Queen.”—aptly encapsulates the film’s essence. If the concept resonates with you, be sure to add it to your watchlist.
