The critics and the audience say just one thing – It’s Alia all the way in  Gangubai Kathiawadi and though one Ms Kangna Ranaut may diss rather disparagingly Ms Bhatt’s acting abilities, it is a fact that Alia Bhatt is indeed one of the best performers in Bollywood.  And the box office numbers tell a story of their own. Gangubai Kathiawadi that featured Alia Bhatt in the titular role, and that was helmed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali hit the big screen last Friday. 

The film opened to a solid number – 10.5 Cr on its Day 1. The film witnessed an upward growth on Day 2, rakes in 13.32 Cr. making the total collection to 23.82 Cr.

Despite 50% occupancy in key cities (especially Mumbai and Delhi) and limited night shows, the film has surpassed all expectations.

Riding high on critical acclaim, Gangubai Kathiawadi is touted to be Alia’s best performance to date. From industry insiders to audiences, the film has been lauded by everyone alike.
