Saw it.
I think Alia did great! The best parts of the film for me were all her savage dialogues...just cracked me up😆 As far as the movie went, I'm not a SLB fan but this film was more up my alley than RL or BM. And I actually feel like watching it again - something I've never done with his films before
My gripe with this movie (and I always one with SLB) is that there was no real climax per se. Just when I think Gangubai is going to hit a major stumbling block with the politicians, the movie ends. Super abruptly. And there's this random parade. Almost seemed like even SLB himself didn't even know how to end the film😆
My other issue is Alia's makeup. I honestly couldn't tell how old she was supposed to be in some of the scenes. In one scene, she'll look 20, then she'll look 45, and then back to her late 20s. I could not figure out Gangu's age throughout this film, even with the passage of time😆. Alia's frame is so tiny that sometimes she looked out of place compared with the rest of the cast. Sometimes she looked too overdone compared with the other characters on the screen. I do wonder if maybe she would have physically looked more convincing if they used makeup prosthetics etc. But regardless, she nailed the role for sure
