Bollywood meets hip-hop in Zoya Akhtar’s colourful but socially critical story about music and love. As he dives deeper and deeper into the world of music, Murad’s life changes – and so does his relationship to his family and to Safeena. The 18-song soundtrack includes work by Divine, Naezy, Sez on the beat, Rishi Rich, Dub Sharma, Jasleen Royal, Ace, Ishq Bector, MC Altaf, MC TodFod, 100 RBH, Maharya, Noxious D, Viveick Rajagopalan, and others. He also talks about what it means to be poor and Muslim in India and about the fact that here, even your dreams are colonised. Gully Boy is the soundtrack album for the 2019 film of the same name directed by Zoya Akhtar. Director: Zoya Akhtar Producer: Farhan Akhtar, Zoya Akhtar, Ritesh Sidhwani Writer: Zoya Akhtar, Reema Kagti Release Date (Streaming): Box Office (Gross USA): 5.3M Runtime: 2h 28m. Together with his friends, he begins producing his own songs in which he raps about his problems, as well as those of his generation and his country. When Murad accidentally meets a well-known rapper who encourages him to expand his hobby, a whole new world opens up for him. It is an important film, because it reminds you of the need to dream, to give people the space to pursue their art, and to challenge and overthrow class structures. Murad seeks comfort in marijuana, in self-penned angry hip-hop, and in his secret childhood sweetheart, Safeena, a doctor’s daughter who is proud to wear her white hijab. Gully Boy walks the slippery path of sometimes reinforcing the commodification it mocks and challenges.
