Film critic and trade analyst Taran Adarsh gave this movie a one-word review of BRILLIANT and gave it a 4-star rating. He further said, “SLB is a magician, gets it right yet again… Powerful story + terrific moments + bravura performances [Alia Bhatt is beyond fantastic, Ajay Devgn outstanding]… UNMISSABLE.”
 
The Ek Villain actor Riteish Deshmukh also appreciated Alia Bhatt’s performance in the film and went ahead to called Bhansali an absolute master storyteller. “Saw Gangubai Kathiawadi last night!!! Another magical experience… Sanjay Leela Bhansali is an absolute master storyteller. Every frame in the film has perfection written all over it. Alia, you are gold! You are a fantastic actor but you have outdone yourself as Gangubai.”
