"If I was a member of BAFTA or the Academy (I'm not), this year I would be voting for Alia Bhatt as Best Actress for her performance in GANGUBAI KATHIAWADI (Sanjay Leela Bhansali, India, 2022). She plays a prostitute turned underworld brothel madam turned a campaigner for sex workers' rights, and the joy of her performance is how she grows as her character develops," he wrote. "The film is big, brash, sentimental and hugely enjoyable, but Bhatt is sensational. Alia Bhatt Looks Super Gorg in Blazer Kurta and Sharara Set in New Pics on Instagram!
There's the additional pleasure of the film's classic Hindi cinema references - from Gangubai's love of Dev Anand to scenes of cinema-going in the 50s and 60s to the numerous film posters lining the streets around Bombay's red light district. If you haven't seen it (especially BAFTA and Academy Award-voting friends), please head to Netflix ASAP. #aliabhatt #gangubaikathiawadi," he added. Robin's received a heartfelt reaction from Alia.
