From being called a money waste to being slammed for casting a cisgender man as a transwoman, Alia Bhatt starrer ‘Gangubai Kathiawadi’ made a lot of buzz days before its release.
Well, the movie has officially hit theatres today and Twitter is flooded with people giving their honest reviews of the movie.
While some thought Alia nailed the characters, others had reservations about the casting. This is what they said:

Typical SLB Film with Aesthetic Woman❤️
Soo beautiful & worth watching. Have never seen her before like this , all elegance in those eyes..Pure & Bold Alia Bhatt 🌹 #FDFS #GangubaiKathiawadi #Gangubai #AliaBhatt @aliaa08 #Review pic.twitter.com/kzQqUpGSZh— Arunima Dhar (@_your_honeybee_) February 25, 2022
#GangubaiKathiawadi is a winner for its execution and what it stands for!
More Vijay Raaz & a tighter edit would have helped but
The misinformed narrative of #AliaBhatt not being capable enough to pull this off is laughable because she has hit it out of the park.

Finally watched most over hyper movie of the decade,
I was big Bhasanali movies fan but after watching this i feel like he lost his charm, what a pathetic casting in main lead. If you watch other movies of him like black, HDDCS or Bajirao casting was perfect #GangubaiKathiawadi pic.twitter.com/lqrpcxnD73— TweetuSultanL (@TweetuSultanL) February 25, 2022
Finished #GangubaiKathiawadi
Disappointed from slb
Below average performance of Alia Bhatt
Slow screen play
Over all it was a average movie

#GangubaiKathiawadiReview #AliaBhatt is totally misfit in the character, any other actress #VidyaBalan Or #KanganaRanaut would have better option, #AjayDevgn did wonderful job, #VijayRaaz looks quite good
Undoubtedly it's weakest movie of #SanjayLeelaBhansali pic.twitter.com/9IdnMrJ8ql— 🚬 (@RahulSRKian_24) February 25, 2022
