I have never spared any superlative while praising Alia Bhatt as an actor but after watching “ Gangu bai … “ I realised that actually I was making understatements . She is beyond any superlative . What a performance !!!

Saw #GangubaiKathiawadi last night!!! Another magical experience.. #SanjayLeelaBhansali is an absolute master storyteller. Every frame in the film has perfection written all over it. @aliaa08 you are gold! You are a fantastic actor but you have outdone yourself as Gangubai.
