Gully Boy: Ranveer Singh, Alia Bhatt's 'apolitical' views and edited Azadi song betray the film's authenticity

Firstpost  

Gully Boy is not entirely a reflection of the difficulties most artists in the community face, opting to cherry-pick instances in order to move the plot forward. Divine, Naezy and Sez On The Beat’s ‘Mere Gully Mein’ will go down as a significant cultural moment — helping introduce the voice of a community that wasn’t given space in our cultural conversations — with Gully Boy serving as the culmination of their legacy. The film is peppered with smaller bits of music from the hip-hop community — the title slate using Naezy’s ode to Mumbai ‘Asal Hustle ’ and further contributions by veteran Mumbai rapper Ace, Borivali-based upstart Kaam Bhaari and members of the multilingual hip-hop crew Swadesi. However, Gully Boy offers a surface level look at the community, preferring to give space to composers Karsh Kale, Rishi Rich and Ankur Tewari to provide the score for pivotal scenes in the movie wherein actual producers from the scene, such as Delhi-based hip-hop phenom Sez On The Beat or beatmakers like Babloo Babylon and Profound, could have provided a much more suited score for the same. Gully Boy also fails to highlight the struggle to get hip-hop artists and fans into venues; the number of artists having a healthy touring circuit is still really small, and a lot of the organisations backing the battle rap and hip-hop scenes in this country, such as B3 and Spit Dope Inc., still face a battle to get venues to just host their events.
