Multilayered Story Focusing on Murad's
Fact: I don't like rap, I haven't watch Mile 8.
Movie: Watching movie in Slum area is not my thing. I am more into Karan Johar's baby. Seeing a grandeur movie with lot of costumes and all. Ranveer Singh and Zoya brought me to this title. We have to admit that audiences are vary to some extent. There will be saying this movie is crap, boring, masterpiece, Oscan material and such. To justify a movie, you have to watch and endeavour what is served. Gully Boy served a multilayered story focusing on Murad's dream to rap. I can say this is not Zoya's finest, but also not that bad. I realize it will be hard on elaborating background story why Murad loves rap. What happened in first scene is not helping at all. She made hooks in the movie which force us to see who is Murad--and it happened he live in patriarchy family with polygamy issue--which is not elaborate because it is just focus on catching a dream. Safeena and Murad's story is showing the inequality and class divide. There will be a lot pros and cons about this but there are a lot of movies talking about this. Capturing the generation gap without emphasize to Digital India is a smooth way from Zoya. Oh, don't you forget about child labour which is not very advisable to do so. Sky's presence was somehow problematic, but I keen to believe Zoya tried to send a message, sometimes couple need a space from each other. There are many flaws (in my point of view) but it seems won't matter much.
Act: Ranveer Singh is showing another avatar of him which he never put in larger scale. From Bitto Sharma to Murad Ahmad. He's not piling up similar avatar like SRK, but there are down at the pit as well. Alia Bhatt. She has contribute at minimum level but her portraying Safeena is quite bold and smart. Over protective yet has no gut to tell to her parents. Good job, Safeena. Siddhant Chaturvedi. This debutant surely know how to work with big star such Ranveer. Vijay Raaz. Outstanding Father. He is surely another version of Ronit Roy's avatar of Abusive Father/Husband.
It is not my favorite genre and scene, so 2 point to deduct. Ranveer Singh added 4 points. Alia Bhatt added 2 points. Rappers added 2 points. Story is just 1 point for me, it is beautiful, but not in my favor. Dialogue 1 point, so in total 8. A good film is a good film.
