Ratings:2/5 Review By: Saibal Chaterjee Site:NDTV

Women who weave their own pink saris and are determined to put all pigs in their place, even if they are in the make-believe world of Gulaab Gang, should be the last people to enforce a stereotype that Hindi films have perpetuated for decades. Women, Madhuri and Juhi included, certainly deserve better.


Ratings:1/5 Review By: Shubhra Gupta Site:Indian Express

Madhuri Dixi's gang, on the other hand, is as make-believe as make-believe can get. Gulab Gang' is faking it. But from its opening frame you discover that in its supposed feminist garb, Gulab Gang' is actually the old-style good vs evil story, styled in the tired way these films have been for the longest time. How can you take a film seriously when each bout of 'lathi'-clashing is interspersed with group dances, with Rajjo-Rani doing the familiar Dixit' latkas' and 'jhatkas'?


Ratings:3/5 Review By: Mohar Basu Site:Koimoi

Gulaab Gang is nothing but an over-dramatized, over-filmy depiction of a potent as well as pertinent group of women who are toiling over the derogatory state of affairs of women in rural India. But the good part about the film isn't its noble intention but the sputtering chemistry of Madhuri Dixit Nene and Juhi Chawla that makes it a film worth investing on. Though Chawla soars in her stronger portrayal, Madhuri's indomitable conviction of delivery wins just as much. For them alone, watch and applause it


Ratings:3/5 Review By: Gayatri Shankar Site:Zee News

Overall, Gulaab Gang' may not be a typical film meant to taste success at the Box Office. The film does speak about issues that need urgent attention, but may not be enough to draw people to the theatres. But Juhi Chawla's performance in the film isn't worth a miss. So watch it for her.

Ratings:1.5/5 Review By: Rajeev Masand Site:CNN IBN

A handful of scenes are nicely shot, like one in a lake, where a local politician's rapist son finds himself surrounded by a few of Rajjo's revenge-seeking gang members who emerge dramatically from under the water. But such portions are few and far between in this dull film. And if you must watch this film, watch it for Juhi Chawla's inspired performance; it's the only bright spot in Gulaab Gang. I'm going with one-and-a-half out of five. Muddled and forgettable

Ratings:3.5/5 Review By: Taran Adarsh Site:Bollywood Hungama

Although GULAAB GANG raises a strong voice against years of patriarchal pain and suffering -- one might assume it tilts towards arthouse cinema -- the fact of the matter is, Soumik presents the classic conflict between good and evil like any other masala film, replete with high-voltage drama, song-and-dance routine and of course, action sequences. On the whole, GULAAB GANG is well-intentioned with several powerful moments, especially towards the second half. The game of power

Gulaab Gang is director Soumik Sen's debut, based on a story he has written, and he has clearly worked hard on the film. Unfortunately, taking on the responsibilities of screenplay and dialogue as well have worked to the detriment of the director. Here, she is saddled with a flawed script; something that she is not able to rise above. Also, for a film that is about women who have risen above their harrowed circumstances to help society,

Debutant director Soumik Sen's casting coup is wasted in a story heavily inspired by an all women gang of social crusaders called Gulaabi Gang. Although Sen steers away from turning it into a documentary, he liberally borrows real-life references from their pink revolution and guns for box-office glory without ever acknowledging their movement. It's when the credits roll, at the end of two-hours-and-twenty-minutes, that you wish he had been man enough to give more insight into their journey. Instead, he lists out a number of unknown faces whose sacrifices and contributions have apparently empowered women and colours them pink.
