By the end, I was wiping tears and cheering furiously not just for Murad but for each one of these characters to find happiness.

Ranveer Singh brings a restrained swagger to Murad: there is a gentleness to his anger.

Film-maker Zoya Akhtar, top of her game more than ever, is an expert at peering into souls, relating their inner conflict and sympathetic of their torment.

Gully Boy has as much heart as it does energy, and skillfully manages to avoid being a formulaic tearjerker about a poor boy from the slums.

Though there are serious issues, plenty of playful elements can be found in the central romance, as well as in the raps themselves.

I have not done this before. I.e write a review about a movie. But 4 years later and having watched this movie over 4 times, I just am blown away by the performance of all the actors. This movie seriously has a special place and also being a Mumbaikar, the movie connects at different levels.

Gully Boy succeeds in Delivering a emotionally impactful movie while showing the side of Mumbai Hip-Hop culture that is often overlooked and unknown by the masses with the help of a solid soundtrack backing and some amazing performances.

Although there may be some length pacing issues, the director nevertheless meticulously documented the metamorphosis from Murad to Gully Boy, eventually delivering an uplifting narrative.

A film which is very overrated. I appreciate that it goes for showing the lives of poor in India. And the performances work. But unfortunately it's storytelling doesn't connect with me all that much. And the pace is very slow.

Heartfelt with a refreshing spin on character flaws. The story challenges perceptions of right and wrong.
