Vijay Varma, Kalki Koechlin and Vijay Raaz are all superb in their respective roles as well.
He’s easily one of the most effortless actors in showbiz. Siddhant Chaturvedi, in his first film, deserves a dab of honour, too. The chemistry between Ranveer and Alia is cute, lovable and fiery, too. The actress brings effortless ease into the fiery eccentricities of her character. Equally brilliant is Alia Bhatt, in a small, but deeply impactful role. With every new performance, the actor brings in a tidal wave of surprises. A line in the film where MC Sher tells Murad says, ‘Tere andar toofan hai’ and that is bang on. He breathes life, despair, euphoria and belief into his role.
He was born to play this part and the way he raps his soul out in the film, makes it a killer set. The driving force of the film though is the performance by Ranveer Singh. Rap is an unconventional genre of music in India, but even those who don’t necessarily associate with this form of music, will be able appreciate the underdog and heartfelt story. His journey from being the quintessential slumdog to being an ambitious rapper named Gully Boy, is exhilarating and exciting, to say the least. It chronicles the story of an ordinary boy Murad, from Dharavi, who dreams big and refuses to let adversity squash his spirit.
Director Zoya Akhtar’s Gully Boy is the definitive look at the rap scene in India. Gully Boy Review: There’s a line in the film where the character MC Sher (Siddhant Chaturvedi) says, “Agar duniya mein sab comfortable hote toh rap kaun karta?” That’s an insight that comes only from a true fan of this performing art.
