Warning: Spoilers
Gully Boy merges into you and makes you feel as a part of Murad's journey (Ranveer Singh). Dharavi 17 is where he stays and his daily struggles,his exposure to rap, his love life, a mistake in relationship,his guide,his well-wisher,his bonding with parents.. A common man's journey actually. We all have such stories in our life. Zoya has brilliantly captured the gully life here and shows how it moulds oneself with the amount of time you spend with people around you.

With every movie this guy gets better.So once again Ranveer does his one of career's best. Alia is the show stealer with dialogues that gets the whistle. We have three supporting Vijays here in this movie Vijay Raaz(father),Vijay Maurya(Uncle),Vijay Varma(Friend) and they are spot on. Amruta Subash(mother) expresses her life's melancholy brilliantly.

Kalki as sky gets limited screen time but packs a punch and last but not the least the game changer Siddhant Chaturvedi(MC Sher). He overpowers Ranveer in many scenes.

I won't stop if I start mentioning how apt and brilliant is the screenplay here.. Cinematography by Jay Oza and crisp editing by Nitin Baid are felt on the screen as the movie even being slow in pace doesn't be a boring affair in 2 hrs 35 mins. Zoya has struck a win win here.

Finally, what made it more lively was screen time for real life rappers like Emiway Bantaai,Stony Psycho and Dope Daddy from Dopedealicz , Kaambhaari and also a second of Brodha V.

Just felt like saying this that how well the hip hop culture has been able to connect with our generation. Emiway Bantaai's one second presence in first half and the crowd erupted like never seen before. Also , his acts in second half are treat to watch. Not to forget Kaam Bhaari is there too.

All in all 9/10 from my side. Go for it folks. Watch it for a beautiful journey of the guy from streets.
