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

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.
