    Nice movie
    In this gripping tale, a young girl thrust into the harsh world of prostitution transforms her fate. The first half captivates with a compelling narrative as she battles adversity, earning admiration. However, the plot encounters a slowdown in the second half. Despite this, the film concludes on a high note with a powerful climax, leaving a lasting impact. The protagonist's journey from victim to a respected figure resonates, portraying resilience and triumph. The movie skillfully navigates complex themes, showcasing the strength to rise above challenges and win hearts, making it a poignant and inspiring story of transformation and redemption.

    Average film
    Forceful concept , script had loopholes, but actors tried their best to put life in characters. It's a complicated theme so can be dealt in many angles. Different shades of the character can be brought out without demeaning or belittling anyone . The music could be more emphatic. Few scenes could be rewritten or retaken. People love to see the life portrayal of a y one be it man or woman rising from ashes. So , to do justice with the storyline very strong script and dialogues are needed. Admitted, there are few good ones, but more work could have turned around this movie completely and taken it to unimaginable heights.

    Got goosebumps on the first scene , made me cry at the end. Its a master piece movie, it deserves all the awards ! Alia Bhatt was mind blowing and Ajay Devgan just played the role like a real Don. Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Best Director.

    Gripping but cleaned up.
    Alia Bhatt is riveting as the heroine, tricked into prostitution, who ultimately triumphs. Although it is a bit too cleaned-up it is a fascinating (based loosely on reality) story. She is deceived, abandoned, raped multiple times, prostituted and beaten up to the point of near death on several occasions. However she always recovers to be fabulously beautiful, kind and clever.

    It is of course within the Bollywood fantasy genre and as such must fulfil audience expectations.

    Regardless of those constraints it is a very well written script, has great central performances and a solid mass of background artists. I particularly like the Director and cinematographer's experimentation with dark hues which overlay the normal brilliant sun or pitch black night of most Indian films.

    Worth a few hours to immerse yourself in the world the movie created.

    Gangubai Kathiawadi is in the middle
    The Story telling is good the visual are great the production is phenomenal but. The Delivery is very weak and the message that portrayed that man is evil is repetitive but like this MOVIE just half of it love live bollywood.
