Just as Ranveer Singh blew off the entire nation with his unforgettable "Khilji" avatar with Deepika Padukone in Padmavat (2018), this personified actor has kicked start 2019 with Zoya Akhtar directed 'GULLY BOY " starring Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh. Inspired by the lives of underground rappers of Mumbai Naezy and Divine , this Fictional story of the protagonist Muraad( Ranveer Singh) and his journey from being an underdog to an established rapper has been remarkable.
In my Bucket list of movies which I can watch again and time namely Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara , Tamasha and many more Gully Boy is the new addition. So, here is me telling you about this film's potential of being a total paisa vasool .
Although there was nothing I can describe as a shortcoming of the movie except for the fact that Zoya Akhtar went on too long to weave each and every character which made the film a 2 hour and 30 minutes package. The second half was a little stretched up but when you get served an entire platter of mind boggling cinematic experiences, you just want to gawk on it.
1.Cinematography & Direction
The beauty of the film was its exceptional cinematography done by Jay Oza who brilliantly got out the essence of Mumbai's slum. The thin congested lanes, the chawls , the people who are a part of these not-so-affluent localities and their struggles have been shot artistically. I have never seen the dump yard and filth on the screen look so beautiful and visually appealing.
2.The Music
Since the movie revolves around Hip Hop music and rap , unlike the rappers we have today in the industry who talk about alcohol, clubbing, girls and chilling in the name of rap, Gully Boy gives you an authentic Hip Hop - the voice of the street. The raps talk about the real issues and everyday struggle of the artist. The Music is the soul of the film which comes from the heart and relates to the masses. Even the background scores have given justice to the film. Flawless!!!!!
3.Cast
The supporting casts potential can leave you awestruck and each individual has been so strongly projected which makes the script "bhot HARD". Vijay Raaz is the ignorant and reluctant father who has given a brave appearance on the screen. Amrita Subhash as the mother portrays the turmoil and disrespect she goes through from her husband. Vijay Verma as Muraad's friend steals every scene with Ranveer and its a treat to watch such a talent. Debutant actor Siddhant Chaturvedy who plays MC Sher, mentoring Muraad spreads a raw energy of a budding rapper and has a charm in himself. Alia Bhat as Safena , Muraad's girlfriend is an obsessive and gutsy character to watch. Alia is setting milestones in her filmography. She is such a gem.
4.Ranveer Singh
This man has an abundant of talent who can go from Khilji to Simba and now Muraad where you will explore his subtle attitude which will make you feel every obstacle he goes through. The dialect displayed with perfection, the remorse expressed just through eyes, the charismatic chemistry with Alia and the journey of self discovery- the list goes endless. Ranveer has put himself in the charecter such a way that you sometimes forget its him on screen. I don't think anyone would have pulled off this role better than him.
Guys go ahead and experience this masterpiece once and I am sure you wont regret. Lets Celebrate Passion, Struggle , Music, and Love. Gully Boy it is !
Peace!!!!!
