Bollywood films are often criticized for making the genre of romance the star runner of

almost all movies, and Zoya Akhtar’s “Gully Boy”/ AP style doesn’t escape the escapade/

rephrase. But is this because India’s youth (the target audience of this movie) only fulfil their

romantic fantasies through watching them on film narratives,; as the country’s conservative

pre-generation denies its wards of the freedom to love? The film is a coming-of-age romance

but a little bit into the two-and-a-half-hour story; , we are epiphanized/ is this the correct

choice of word? that “Gully Boy”/ AP style unravels much more of the country’s social

construct.

Your opinion? Is it going to be favorable or not?

The star-studded cast of this movie holds the well woven narrative up with performances that

do not exceed the temperament of believability. Ranveer Singh (Murad) has playedplays (if

you’re referring to this film) a Delhi boy who lives below the poverty line but with

aspirations to become a rapper, an aspiration above what his fate would normally allow for.

His charming looks do not overpower Murad’s character essence. The character arcs from a

well mannered and hopeful youngster to a confident yet humble rapper, and Singh blows

Murad to soul/ odd expression with just the right amount of theatrical charisma. Alia Bhatt

(Safeena) plays Singh’s secretive high school sweetheart but with an unusually bold wittiness

and temperament that Bollywood’s female leads do not have the luxury of being written with/

again another awkward sentence. And to add to the list of concrete characters is Siddhant

Chaturvedi (MC Sher) who becomes Singh’s light at a rather unexpected end of a tunnel.

However, for the audience, Sher is left hanging with an unsatisfying closure that the character

truly deserves.

Murad, Safeena and MC Sher are set in Delhi’s famous Dharavi slums, also featured in

Hollywood’s Oscar winning Slumdog Millionaire AP style?. Jay Oza’s camera has captured

the abject poverty cycle that the community has been riding in, within Murad’s stagnant and

claustrophobic house where cots are topped by more cots where the night view would be the

underside of impoverished stairs, that leads to another sleeping space/ once again the

sentence is too long. The movie trails through a metaphorical storyline that encompasses a

social conflict that has infested Indian orthodoxies,: a communal tread watering. Murad fights

to break a breath against the tsunamic wave that drowns him from reaching the shore. Murad

fights against the system that a lowly white collar job working father’s son must also work a

lowly white collar job. Murad fights to build an identity for himself through a passion and a

sense of confidence that is considered uncanny by his community.

“Gully Boy” is jewelled with impromptu rap sequences that deliver powerful social

messages. A ripple of reality that is often disembarked/ odd choice of word in the region’s

cinema, as it is too unglamorous for screens, floats through the film. The movie shines

through as a well accomplished Bollywood entertainer that has escaped the trawls of

Bollywood’s stereotypes. Good ending

How would you rate it?

Was this written in haste? Aminath, your sentences tend to ramble on. Try and work with
shorter sentences to avoid mistakes. Also, some use of words is a bit odd. Simplify to avoid
odd sounding sentences.

How can your reader watch the film?

You can write much better than this.
