Alia's latest film was the third biggest opener amid the Covid-19 pandemic with an earning of 10.5 crores on its opening day. Despite 50 percent occupancy in key circuits like Mumbai and Delhi and no night shows in the Delhi circuit, the film has performed very well.

Film critic and analyst movie business analyst Taran Adarsh had shared figures on Twitter. He had mentioned that Gangubai Kathiawadi was the third biggest opener in the pandemic times. The first was Akshay Kumar-starrer Sooryavanshi which was released during the Diwali festival and earned 26.29 crores on its opening day.

The second biggest opener in the pandemic times was Ranveer Singh-starrer sports drama 83 which was released during Christmas minting 12.64 crores on its opening day.

The Hindustan Times review of Gangubai Kathiawadi read, "Gangubai Kathiawadi creates a world of its own that's sleazy, violent, reckless but still overflowing with emotions. Showing the lanes of Kamathipura, one of the oldest red-light districts of Mumbai, Bhansali makes sure that he captures them in the most extravagant way. Young girls, who've landed here unwillingly, decorate the streets, having accepted their fate with nowhere to go."
