#GulaboSitabo It’s been 3 hours since I have completed watching this movie. But still I’m not over it. Because of the each characters in the movie. These kind of characters are cake walk for Mr Bachchan and Ayushman. In which they were brilliant.

Thank God it was not released in Theaters.
Great acting by every actor but there is no story and I slept so many times in between.
Why did they even make it?#GulaboSitabo
Very boring movie,#GulaboSitaboreview. Ayushman is looking dull in this movie. His energy level and awesomeness are missing. Thanks for releasing in ott and saving my money. It would be a disaster if released in theatres. The story itself weak and slow screenplay. #GulaboSitabo pic.twitter.com/8SHTLVjTtu

Dear @SrBachchan sir please keep acting. The character mirza and your acting will haunt me for a long time.@ayushmannk man you're always charming no matter how decent your character is! Loved it ❤️ the twist from begum was epic. Haha #GulaboSitabo #gibosiboonprime #AmazonPrime pic.twitter.com/8yh0q7sQHM

No one in the industry can act and modulate the voice like Amitabh Bachchan and SRK. Undoubtedly the best actors that India will ever have ❤️ Unmatched acting of Amit Ji through the excellent versatility in #GulaboSitabo #GulaboSitaboreview ! The flagbearer of OTT revolution pic.twitter.com/atXOZiKpTM

The story revolves around the equation between a tenant and the landlord, and the latter trying all possible means to get rid of the former from his property. The film is set in Lucknow and involves their fun-filled digs at each other. Gulabo Sitabo also stars Vijay Raaz and Brijendra Kala among others.
