It’s not like in and itself, the story is not compelling. There was so much going on constantly, even when the story was almost at a standstill.Īnd that might be the most disturbing bit. And yet I had to keep up with so many things-the undercurrents, the performances, the background music, each character’s milieu, and of course the snappy lyrics and dialogue. At the movie’s interval, I was stumped when I realised that nothing much has happened in the story. Regular readers would know how much I value a good story in my films or even how much a standard approach to a typical story irks me. Yes, even an underdog film with a training montage! Hey, it uses rap to preach, so that’s a change! Almost.Īnd yet, I want to watch the film again. The tone, texture and technicalities of the film are used to such an advantage that the predictability is forgiven. And seems like the makers of Gully Boy were well aware of the ask. When you have a run-of-the-mill story to tell, you have to compensate for it using the other means at your disposal. While we gear ourselves not to be disappointed this Valentine’s Day, we have much appreciated 18 songs to keep us company.įirstpost - "A rousing, eclectic soundtrack that sets the benchmark for a trailblazing genre" Some of the lyrics I heard too don’t say anything new, but still, carry energy that make you look forward to listening to them within the context of the film. Alia Bhat seems like she is the usual loud-mouthed stereotype of a liberated urban woman, but still the stereotypes are being broken.Īnd of course, I am looking forward to a Zoya Akhtar film that steps away from the themes of camaraderie within the upper/upper-middle-class socio-economic strata and takes on a story in a completely different social setup. Ranveer Singh’s character itself accommodates both a shy, diffident public performer who is actually quite sure of himself and what he wants. The lyrics and the dialogue are written with a lot of thought, but they still seem honest coming from whatever you can make of the character. The milieu is raw, and in some sense, crude, and yet the first word that pops to your mind while watching it is “refreshing”.
GULLY BOY STORY FULL
The Gully Boy trailer is full of striking contrasts.
