8 Reasons Why Why Gully Boyz Will Score Big At The Boxoffice

1.     Ranveer Singh:  He started 2018  with a blockbuster Padmaavat , ended  last year with  another  blockbuster  Simmba. No wonder  the film trade expects  him  tokickstart 2019 with  a big hit.

2.     Alia Bhatt:  Cent-percent  success.All her films so far barring Shaandaar are  hits. In Gully Boy she is paired with  Ranveer  for the  first time. They’ve done some very entertaining ads together.And  if those ads are anything  to go by, Gully Boy will be  a riot.

3.     Indi-Rap Hiphop  Zindabad:  Why has  no one thought  of making a film on the flourishing  culture  of  rap and hip-hop in Mumbai?  It’s the kind of engaging endeavour that was  just waiting to be  filmed.

4.     Ranveer Not Larger-Than-Life(Thankfully!):  Aren’t  you a little tired of watching Ranveer  Singh  play flamboyant  exhibitionists?  Be it a callous dynastic ruler or a  boorish cop, Ranveer  is  always  the attention-seeker on screen. OnlyZoya Akhtar knows  how to harness the  more sensitive and quiet side of Ranveer’s personality. He  will be as subdued here as he was  in Zoya’s Dil Dhadakne Do.

5.     Zoya Akhtar:  Every film by Zoya is special, from Luck By Chance to ZindagiNa  Milegi Dobaara to  Dil Dhadakne Do,  Zoya knows how to juice  her charcaters’  subconscious into an attractively manifested show of  slickly designed  emotions.

6.     Real Life Characters: Gully Boyz is based  on  real-life rappers  from the streets of Mumbai. Ranveer  loves to rap in  real life. He  was  the first and only choice  for  the  lead.

7.     Curiosity Value: After the game-changing  success  of Uri,  audiences are  in  the mood for  authentic credible  real-life situations and  characters. The  closer you are  to the  ground-level the  better.

8.     Somehow  films with a musical theme  about the life  of musicians  have always won  audiences’ hearts , from Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s Abhimaan  to  Subhash Ghai’sKarz  to  Mohit Suri’s   Aashiqui 2.
