"No limit to talent and can be found anywhere. In the background, the boy's peers can be heard encouraging him. The recording starts with the boy rapping the lyrics of the song from Gully Boy, originally performed by Ranveer Singh. The little one's energetic performance has grabbed many eyeballs and it is one video that you definitely should see today. Copyright for this article belongs to nooranandchawla.A video of a young boy from Arunachal Pradesh rapping to the chartbuster song Apna Time Ayega from the Ranveer Singh starrer Gully Boy is swiftly going viral. *Unless specified, all pictures are taken on my phone. Akhtar’s “Gully Boy” is a fantastic work of art, indeed. To paraphrase a line from the film, “agar duniya mein sab comfortable hote, toh art (rap) kaun banata?”. Those who appreciate good cinema will enjoy it as a bridge between the alternative and the mainstream. Most people will connect with the story at its core. “Gully Boy” is very inspirational, especially for creative types (like me!), who attempt to forge new paths in a heavily competitive world. We may be far from a utopian world of acceptance and tolerance, but at least we’re making strides in that direction. As the internet takes over the imaginations of today’s youth, they have access to a plethora of cultures and a variety of artistic media, through which they can express themselves. The film shows how boundaries of religion, sex and class are slowly dissolving in metropolitan cities (also read reviews of “ Manmarziyaan” and “ Badhaai Ho” for similar themes). Kudos to the lyricists and Reema Kagti, the writer of the film. By rapping in Hindi, Gully Boy connects with his audience in the film, as well as with people unfamiliar with this genre of music. The witty and highly original lyrics enhance the overall experience. I’m not usually fond of rap but the music here is remarkable. The raw, close-angled shots serve as a metaphor for the intensity of rap music. The costumes are accurate and the camera work is masterful. Mumbai’s visceral aspects shine through, adding drama and depth to the film. The cinematography and editing is fabulous. Vijay Raaz and Amruta Subhash as the poor parents, Sheeba Chadha as Alia Bhatt’s mother, and Vijay Verma as Ranveer Singh’s troubled friend, are outstanding. Alia Bhatt, Siddhant Chaturvedi and Kalki Koechlin are good at their respective roles. Ranveer Singh is subtly nuanced and makes a huge impact.

Her direction is crisp, and there’s not much to fault with any aspect of the film.

I’ve always been a fan of hers, but she has outdone herself here. Where “ Gold” lost points for focusing on the actor over the content ( review here) “ Sui Dhaaga” picked a hugely implausible theme ( review here) and “ Baazaar” failed for its melodramatic handling ( review here) “Gully Boy” picks a believable idea and deals with it realistically. In the last year, I’ve seen many films play on this concept, but “Gully Boy” stands head and shoulders above the rest. His fate turns dramatically, when he meets rising rap star MC Sher (Siddhant Chaturvedi) and musician Sky (Kalki Koechlin), through the internet.īollywood is known to sell dreams to the masses. He channels the fury and frustration of the challenging circumstances he lives in, by writing edgy rap numbers.

He has a controlling philanderer for a father (Vijay Raaz), a subdued mother (Amruta Subhash) who has no say, and a strong-minded girlfriend (Alia Bhatt). Murad Ahmed ( Ranveer Singh) is a Mumbai based slum-dweller with big dreams. Happy Valentine’s Day folks! My V-Day began on a high note, with a first-day-first-show viewing of Zoya Akhtar’s “Gully Boy”.
