The film received both the award for Best Film on Social Issues and the award for Best Editing.
The award for Best Film on Social Issues was given for "its powerful depiction of a crusader for the subaltern that takes us deeper into the continuing struggles of the rural Indian woman set in a milieu of chauvinistic scepticism"
Arjun Gourisaria won the award for Best Editing for Gulabi Gang- here is the jury's statement: "Arjun Gourisaria is awarded the RAJAT KAMAL for imparting the film with its structure and rhythm, tempo and drama, movement and exposition".
