Indian rap?

 Gully Boy (2019)


Directed by Zoya Akhtar this film stars Ranveer Singh, Alia Bhatt and Siddhant Chaturvedi. A young Muslim from a slum area of India dreams of being a rapper.


When you are translating rap from one language to another unfortunately something is always going to get lost along the way so some of the magic of this film may be missing to those of us that do not speak Hindi. This is a fairly enjoyable film that apart from the rap element covers a lot of familiar elements from Indian cinema. Not something that I would rewatch or will stick with me unfortunately.


3/5
