Praises for Zoya Akhtar’s Gully Boy just keep pouring in. After raking in a tonne of compliments at the Berlin Film Festival, actors Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt’s film is now earning kudos from celebrities back home in India and even overseas. The film was screened to a host of celebrities on Monday and they tweeted their reactions on watching the movie.
Fast & Furious and Widows star Michelle Rodriguez called the film ‘beautiful’ and recalled the cultural shift that was brought in the Caribbean countries by hip-hop years ago. “I remember when rap broke out of New York & made it to the Caribbean, my Brooklynn born bros would breakdance on cardboard boxes in Dominican Republic, America had no clue how impactful this platform was going to be for the underdog worldwide. Beautiful,” she wrote in a tweet.
Actor Rahul Bose called the film a two-time watch. “Watched #GullyBoy yesterday. It takes you into a world you know nothing about & makes you care for its people, their lives, their futures. What more can an audience ask for? Superbly directed, spot on performances, great emotional highs and lows. And banging rap - music & lyrics,” he wrote in a series of tweets.
