Edited by priya185 - 2 years agoTranslation by google - From time to time it's really cool to watch something outside of western festival cinema, also for the sake of variety. Was that good now? No idea. contd
The film works so completely differently from everything else I watch that I don't allow myself to judge. It was all a bit over the top and the pathos was pushed to the maximum that it's absurd.

Review by Alicia Haddick ★★★½
Berlinale 2022 #24
A big-budget Indian blockbuster screened as a Special Gala proved to be a surprisingly-engrossing biopic on the titular character and her growth from a young girl forced into prostitution to a leader that helped bring about the first laws legalizing the service in the country.
There’s an argument that in the purpose of transforming Gangubai into a #girlboss figure that some of the teeth of their story has been lost. Yet what’s the most impressive thing about the film is how it embraces this over-extravagant sincerity to thrive as a grandiose retelling of a tale that so rarely gets this sort of big-budget retelling. Great casting assists in this.
Even if aspects fall away when you think about it too much afterwards, in the moment it’s a spectacle that you can’t help but remain entranced with. I had a great time!

For this film Sanjay Leela Bhansali mastered the skill of making exteriors look as fake as possible.
