From the streets of Mumbai to the screens of the world, Gully Boy has shaken the rap scene of the world. Such is its rhythm and such is its groove, that is has got everyone on the move.
The “chowls’ of Mumbai might be dirty, dreary, repulsive or a tourist haven for those who want to catch a glimpse of the less fortunate or those who want to click a few black and white photos to view them back home on their iMacs or IPads, showing off their creativity. But in those streets, breeds creativity, talent, a passion that is seen in the form of Gully Boy the movie.
When people are faced with unimaginable odds in various forms, they create, they readjust, they compete but most of all, they excel in whatever they strive for.
Be it a gangster peddling drugs through children or a man making a living by breaking into cars or for that matter a few kids dreaming of making it big by rapping to their own creations, the bottom line is that the streets of Mumbai inspire, cultivate, breed and give birth to talent in various forms.
When humans are challenged in any way, they circumnavigate around the situation, create their own space or designs in order to achieve their “mission”.
Creativity is not a classroom subject, it cant be taught, it has to be experienced, smelt felt, imbibed within your system over the years. Only when you face the odds of unimaginable sorts, is when a “Gully boy” is born.
where -an ordinary becomes extraordinary.
