Gully Boy

Not fully relatable to the foreign audience but apparently touches the core of the street life in Mumbai..

Great acting. Music could've been better but the director wanted the audience to delve into the story and not digress into music

Was happy to see a new style (rapper-based) movie being produced by Bollywood. I am not a fan of such music, but can always appreciate a movie. And, honestly, that was the good part of the movie. Then there are side stories which were more like the 60's style and dragged the movie down - making it boring at times. Alia and Siddhant were the best. Ranveer decent. The finale was a bit let down. Just too much of celebration which didn't emotionally connect with me. I was happy that it was finally over. Compare this movie to Dangal, Secret Superstar, Chak De India, etc. and you will see that it lacks life.

It's not about only a rap,it's about every person who struggles their own inside.its the story about every struggling person who trapped under the bloody society.who want to fly,who want to go outside,who want do something.its not a rap movie,it's truly a inspirational movie.

This film sort of felt like a cross between '8 Mile' and 'A Star is Born', but set in India. It's a slightly odd comparison but those two films have to come to mind while watching it. Intercutting rap battles into this tale of rags to riches is actually a concept that worked much more than I would have thought. What I think also helped is the addition of a fiery romance, a cultural family dispute and a terrific ensemble cast. There's a fair amount of humour too, which provides well timed relief to some of the emotional drama. Overall, Gully boy seamlessly blends romance, drama and comedy situations and a well-meaning message that rings true in today's society.

Its an entertaining movie to watch for and is worth watching too.. Mostly the mumbaikers can relate to the movie as the whole movie is based in Dharavi. Everyone is good with their character and it was great to see Vijay Raaz as always. He is indeed a very good actor. To the one who don't understands the rap culture, the movie will be quite overrated but trust me its not. To the one saying the movie is a copy of 8 miles must watch the movie, this is how the story of rapper can be exactly displayed. And Ranveer was outstanding with his part and "Apna Time Aayega" is just outstanding work by Ranveer, If you feel the character then its also an inspiring story.. According to me its definitely worth watching :) And the one calling Ranveer Singh's character as overacting are the one who don't understand Mumbai's local language
