Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express 12/22/2022

Siddhant Adlakha New York Magazine/Vulture 12/20/2022
Rather than trying to eke out a new place for sex workers in conservative society, it makes the convincing case that they are already a vital fixture. Go to Full Review
Namrata Joshi National Herald (India) 03/14/2022
Alia Bhatt nails it with elan in this grand melodramatic spectacle by Bhansali. Go to Full Review
Stephanie Bunbury Deadline Hollywood Daily 09/19/2023
Every minute of those two and a half hours is ravishingly entertaining. The songs, written by the director, bounce along energetically; the camera does much the same thing, zooming and zig-zagging in a powerhouse effort to maintain a rollercoaster pace. Go to Full Review
Santanu Das Hindustan Times 01/31/2023

Sheetal 03/29/2022 A brilliant movie and must be watched in theaters only!!! See more Komal 03/28/2022 I'm glad I watched it at the movie theater. See more Susha 03/25/2022 Must Watch!! Alia Bhatt has outdone herself again! I don't know why people even doubt her talent. See more Enay N 03/22/2022 10/10 once again Sanjay Leela Never disappoints:) See more Shweta 03/19/2022 It changes your perspective towards prostitute and attitude/mindset towards sex workers who have been denied the basic right to be treated as humans. See more Mochi 03/14/2022 Honestly the movie was extremely interesting, I enjoyed everything it of it. I highly recommend. See more Read all reviews
