When she is included in the Guardian’s list of the greatest big-screen performances, Alia Bhatt beams.
Actress Alia Bhatt from Bollywood is overjoyed that a prestigious international journal named her work in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Gangubai Kathiawadi as one of the year’s top performances. She responded to the news and posted it on social media.
The writers of The Guardian published a list of the greatest and worst big-screen performances in history. Legends like Tom Hanks, Cameron Diaz, Lupita Nyong’o, and Jennifer Lawrence were included with Alia. She portrayed a brothel madam who campaigns for sex workers’ rights in the movie.
According to the article’s author Mike McCahill, Alia “makes great emotional sense of a rollercoaster character development as the real-life figure of Ganga Harjivandas, the self-improving sex slave who became queen of Mumbai’s red-light district in the 1960s. Her incredibly expressive dance in the drum piece Dholida tells a story all by itself. It’s a thunderous three-minute accounting of everything this woman has won and lost, going from group triumph to personal misery.
Based on a chapter in Hussain Zaidi’s book Mafia Queens of Mumbai, Gangubai Kathiawadi was created. It depicts Gangubai’s journey, who was pushed into prostitution at a young age. As she advances through the ranks, she turns into a ferocious madam of the brothel and a political figure. Ajay Devgn, Vijay Raaz, Seema Pahwa, and Indira Tiwari all have significant parts in the movie.
When it hit theatres earlier this year, the movie was a success. Over 200 crore rupees were made worldwide. The movie was also one of the most watched Indian movies on Netflix, appearing in the top 10 list for six weeks in a row with 50.6 million viewer hours.
It received three stars from Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express, who described it as “a spectacle made genuine by Alia Bhatt’s performance.” “What elevates it above your typical Bhansali spectacle is Bhatt’s willingness to go the extra mile: beneath the profanities, the binges on alcohol, and the pontificating on platforms, some of which come off as ‘acting,’ Alia Bhatt makes her Gangubai real. A piece of her review stated, “We are forced to experience the pain of the ladies whose lives are so constrained and who feel so abandoned by their loved ones that they can find companionship, rough and tumble it may be, only amongst themselves.
Alia Bhatt is enjoying a terrific year, first with Gangubai Kathiawadi’s popularity and then with the enormous success of RRR and Darlings. Brahmastra, her most recent release, also did well commercially. With Heart of Stone, the actor will shortly make her Hollywood debut.

Celebrations have already kicked off, and stunning pandals are being set up for the celebrations.
Ramakrishna Math puja
The special attraction at Ramakrishna Math, Nirala Nagar will be the Kumari Puja i.e., in which the deity will be invoked in six year old girl who will be worshipped as Devi Durga. It will be held on Ashtami day at 9:30 am that falls on Friday, October 11. Swami Muktinathananda, Adhyaksha of Ramakrishna Math said, “It symbolises the special presence of the Divine Mother within every woman and aims to infuse a sense of respect and dignity to be accorded to the entire womanhood.” The climax of the Durga puja celebration, however, is the Sandhi Puja. It comprises the last 24 minutes of Ashtami and the first 24 minutes of Navami tithi.
Oldest puja at Bengali Club
The 110-year-old Durga puja celebrations at the Bengali Club are a must-see. It is the city’s first and oldest Sarwajanik Durga Puja, started by Atul Krishna Sinha who moved to the city in 1901. In 1914 he started Durga Puja at Bengali Club, says club’s president Arun Kumar Banerjee. In the lead-up to Durga puja, the Ladies’ wing organised Ananda Mela, inaugurated by principal secretary Leena Johri. The special attraction at Bengali Club this year will be Sandhi puja on Friday morning (October 11), on Maha Ashtami.
Shri Ram temple replica at Sahara Estate
The two-decade-old puja at Jankipuram will feature a replica of the Shri Ram Temple from Ayodhya. A life-sized idol of Ram Lalla will also be placed along with the idol of Maa Durga. Dhakhis (traditional drummers) from Bengal will perform, and a series of cultural programmes will also be showcased throughout the festivities.
“The artists from Kolkata have spared no effort in capturing the grandeur of the original, and devotees are in for a truly divine experience at the pandal this year,” said Ram Avatar Pandey, president of Sadbhavna Sanskritik Samiti.
St. Peter’s Basilica at Model House
At the Model House Park, an idol of Goddess Durga, carved in the monolithic style reminiscent of Ajanta sculptures, will be worshipped. The exterior of the pandal is inspired by the grandeur of St Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City. The Mitro Sangho Puja committee is marking its 50th year of celebrations this year. The 15-feet tall idol is made by artistes from Bengal. The structure will be 70-feet tall.
Ram Leela pandal at LPRSS
The Latouche Road Puja Sangsad Society has themed their pandal on Ram Leela. SK Banerjee, the president of the society, informed that the entire pandal will be transformed into a grand pictorial representation from the Ramayana.
The interiors of the pandal are designed with 20-foot-tall replicas of heritage buildings and arched gates, resembling those in Ayodhya. The idols will also be adorned in traditional Ram Leela attire and ornaments. Additionally, live performances will be held to enhance the festive atmosphere.
Trans-Gomti Puja
Renowned sculptor Abhijeet Biswas has crafted the Ma Durga idol in the traditional “Aadi Bangla” style in Varanasi, with final touches applied in Lucknow. “In line with tradition, five kinds of clays — Ganga, Shamshan, Tulsi, Goshalar and Devimandir mati — have been used in creating the protima of Maa Durga. The celebrations started with Anando Mela at the puja pandal today,” informed its communication secretary Tuhin Banerjee.
