The Film Received 8-Minute Standing Ovation At The Berlin International Film Festival
On February 16, 2022, during Gangubai Kathiawadi's worldwide premiere at the Berlin International Film Festival, it garnered an eight-minute standing ovation. In an interview with Firstpost, Gangubai Kathiawadi director Sanjay Leela Bhansali said, “I feel Gangubai is a film that resonates in your mind. It is an experience that doesn’t need any explanation or analysis. You watch it. You like it. Or you don’t like it. Period. When I heard that standing ovation in Berlin, I got my answer. They actually clapped for six-seven minutes nonstop. That isn’t a small thing. It made all the pain and effort worth the while: the two lockdowns, the pandemic, the recession.”
