"Gully Boy" is a film about a 22-year-old boy "Murad" from a ghetto in Mumbai, India. The son of a driver, his parents worked hard to get him educated so that he could have a white collar job. Meanwhile, Murad realizes his calling to be a rapper. Authentic Hip Hop in India is a recent phenomenon and like anywhere else in the world, is rising from the streets. Art is a distant dream for the colonized poor of India and this story is about Murad's journey from realizing his love for rap and chasing his dream to inadvertently transcending his class. The film showcases street rap from the crevices of Mumbai's by lanes. The poetry is conscious of the city's socio-economic fabric and highlights the challenges faced by the disenfranchised youth in the minority population.

Nothing groundbreaking
Ok..so i was hyped with movie bcoz of the reviews it got and the people are praising that you haven't seen anything like this in india..well i just wanna say i was really disappointed.There is nothing new here...the same underdog story has been told many times in different ways.
Acting is good which you can expect from fine actors so nothing special about that and overall it's just an average movie.
