Rating: 7.9/10
The romantic musical drama Gully Boy, which is set against the backdrop of the Mumbai rap scene, has opened in Berlin ahead of its Indian release. Despite being gritty by the standards of Mumbai’s film industry, Gully Boy is sanitized for foreign audiences. Ranveer Singh is required to wear hoodies over his hair. But there are plenty of other nuances to enjoy about this film. In this Gully Boy Movie Review, we discuss the performance of Ranveer Singh, Alia Bhatt, and the Film’s soundtrack.
Ranveer Singh
Ranveer Singh’s performance in Gully Boy is brilliant, and the movie is a perfect amalgamation of stories. The direction is a masterstroke and the performances by both Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt are top-notch. But the film’s climax could have been a bit more intense. I’m not complaining, as I enjoyed the movie as much as I’m sure many others did.
Alia Bhatt
Ranveer Singh, Alia Bhatt and Deepika Padukone have created a thrilling story in Gully Boy. The director, Zoya Akhtar, is an outstanding helmsman who delivers a film that is bursting with energy. Ranveer Singh is a standout as Murad, the movie’s central character, who is as charming as he is endearing. Alia Bhatt is also a standout, as her character, Safeena, is a crash course in women empowerment. The film’s pacing is decent, but the second half lags a bit.
Siddhant Chaturvedi
After starring in Deepika Padukone’s ‘Gehraiyaan‘, Siddhant Chaturveda is back with his latest release, Gully Boy. A musical drama inspired by Mumbai street rappers Divine and Naezy, Gully Boy is a must watch. Siddhant’s previous work includes ‘Bunty Aur Babli 2’, which was backed by Aditya Chopra. Siddhant was previously seen as the role of MC Sher in the film. In the film, he was played by Sharvari Wagh.
Film’s soundtrack
The soundtrack of a film is a collection of music created specifically for the film. These recordings are composed and recorded by a composer, usually with a small ensemble and/or a conductor at the podium. The music is then mixed in post production with the film playing on screen. In some cases, there is also a full orchestra accompanied by a soloist or choir. Depending on the film, the score may be a long or short composition, or it may contain a series of short pieces.
It’s a hip-hop origin tale
As a counterculture, Gully Boy is a powerful counter-narrative and the film’s relationship to the dominant ideology is emblematic. In the film’s broader context, the political economy of hip-hop rests in its capacity to maximize profits, but its fundamental political identity lies in its ability to agitate and provoke. This is the central question Gully Boy seeks to answer with the film.
It’s a personal fable
A personal fable is a story that represents a certain experience in an individual’s life. Although it is not necessarily a good thing, this story can serve as a source of inspiration and motivation. The movie focuses on the struggles of one teenager, Gully Boy, as he seeks to overcome his struggles.
This film demonstrates the power of a personal fable. It can be used as a way to increase self-esteem and develop empathy for others. In some cases, personal fables may also lead to feelings of depression, loneliness, and even suicide.
