Meanwhile, Barbie continues to win hearts globally. The movie stars Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, Dua Lipa, Simu Liu, Ariana Greenblatt, Michael Cera, and Emma Mackey among others. It has been directed by Greta Gerwig.
Film critic Saibal Chatterjee gave the film 3.5 stars out of 5 in his review for NDTV. "Margot Robbie's magnetic allure is accentuated by Ryan Gosling's flat-out and gleeful interpretation of Ken, whose existence isn't complete without being in Barbie's gaze.
