Gangubai Kathiawadi

Your dad didn't took gangajal in his mouth because it had your name in it......

After roughly an hour and 45 mins it starts losing some steam, driving it down from an 85 to a 75. At that point it's kinda like they remembered they had a buncha stuff they had to include and they just threw it in. The result is that the progression doesn't feel nearly as organic. But Bhatt remains excellent the entire time, boosting material that can sometimes be inconsistent (or just downright hokey). Also shot quite well.

Alia Bhat owns this movie from start to end. She's a fine actress but the dialogues given to her come across as too dramatic or a mish-mash of past and present times. The worst is her young looks. In many scenes she comes across as a teenager running a brothel. The director Bhansali left no stone unturned when it comes to cinematography but that just isn't enough.
