Meanwhile, the film has been embroiled in one controversy after another ever since its trailer was released. Reacting to controversies attached to the film, Alia had said: "Neither any controversy nor any comment bothers me. I don't think anything bothers me beyond a point. Of course, I feel like there's a certain novelty that just a part of a film holds...whether the film is a good film or a bad film ..that doesn't matter. The audience makes the final decision after watching the film... Anything that happens before or after can't really change the fate."
Going by the collections, it seems that the audience has loved Alia Bhatt's Gangubai Kathiawadi which hit big screens on February 25.
