Answered from the record below — the certificate, the board’s cut list, and what reviewers documented.
Is Gangubai Kathiawadi OK for kids?

What age is Gangubai Kathiawadi suitable for?
12+, based on the CBFC rating of U/A. 5 of the five content-warning categories are documented for this film.
What content should parents know about in Gangubai Kathiawadi?
Documented so far: violence — strong, language — mild, sex or nudity — mild, drink or drugs — moderate, frightening scenes — strong. A category left blank means nobody documented it, not that the film is clean — the full record, quoted with sources, is on this page.
Did the censor board cut anything from Gangubai Kathiawadi?
The CBFC certified it U/A with no published cut list. That is not the same as the film being uncut — only that no modification was published.
