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.https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm6g2casIAt/?hl=en"The film is big, brash, sentimental and hugely enjoyable, but Bhatt is sensational. 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.Sharing Robin's note on her Instagram Story, Alia dropped a string of white heart emojis.Recently, Sophia of Loki fame also penned a note of appreciation for Alia."Woahhh.
