Alia Bhatt's latest release, Gangubai Kathiawadi is continuing its winning streak at the box office.

Trade analyst Taran Adarsh stated, "#GangubaiKathiawadi brings cheer, confidence and cinemagoers back, solid total in Wknd 1... Day 3 sees big gains [most places]... #Mumbai, #Thane, #Pune, #Gujarat, #Delhi, #SouthIndia [parts] key contributors... Fri 10.50 cr, Sat 13.32 cr, Sun 15.30 cr. Total: ₹ 39.12 cr. #India biz."

An excerpt from Filmibeat's review of Gangubai Kathiawadi read as, "Amid all the apprehensions around her casting in the film, Alia Bhatt turns out to be deft performer instead. Be it as the lively Ganga in the initial scenes or the sharp-tongued Gangubai who is a perfect combination of spunk and savagery and has a heart of gold, the actress nails every shade of her character's journey. Seema Pahwa as the brothel madam Seemabai and Vijay Raaz as the trans madam Raziabai play their parts effectively though one wished that Bhansali had added more depth to their characters. Shantanu Maheshwari makes a promising debut and shares affable chemistry with Alia. Ajay Devgn in his extended guest appearance gets to mouth some mass dialogues. Jim Sarbh gets some crackling moments with Alia."
