College senior Murad Ahmed lives in the slums of Mumbai. While working part time as a chauffeur, he begins to write and record his own rap music. Murad's involvement in the Mumbai rap scene changes his life and his relationships with both his father and his girlfriend.
Variety by Jay Weissberg
A Bollywood movie about a rapper from the slums may sound derivative, but what does that matter when “Gully Boy” revels in high-wattage screen chemistry and an inclusive social message, all served up in a slickly enjoyable production showcasing Ranveer Singh’s many charms?
Screen Daily by Lee Marshall
Singh busts rhymes with the best of them in this energetic, entertaining film that smuggles some urgent social themes in under the cover of a hoary old fable about a handsome pauper who gets the stardom and the girl.
The Hollywood Reporter by Deborah Young
Zoya Akhtar (Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara) directs with flair and passion and, aided by explosive performances from a right-on cast, triumphs over the familiarity of the star-is-born storyline.
The Guardian by Peter Bradshaw
In the end, Gully Boy runs on very traditional lines, and maybe comes too close to cliche, but is always engagingly dead set on entertainment.
