Coming back to Gangubai Kathiawadi, Koimoi rated the film with 4 stars and wrote in its review, “The script, unlike the book, limits her business to booze and doesn’t get into drugs. But that doesn’t create any void. The only complaint is the lack of time invested in showing how the bond between Gangu and Rahim (Karim) Lala strengthened to a point that he was ready to fight the world for her.”
