Meri Gully Mein From Gully Boy Proves That Ranveer Is As Good A Rapper As He Is An Actor

It might feel like we are blabbering because our mind has not yet processed the magnanimity of the awesomeness that Meri Gully Mein from Gully Boy. We are not even overplaying ‘Apna Time Ayega’ and ‘Asli Hip Hop’ on loop, and now we have this.

Releasing on 14^th February, this Zoya Akhtar directorial with Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt in the lead has already captured the spirit, mind, and imagination of the audiences. Here are our takeaways from the sheer brilliance that is ‘Meri Gullyi Mein’.

And That’s How You Reuse

People who follow Divine would know that this is the same rap from his first video with the same name. This was the breakout video of Divine which received 12 million likes on YouTube. But the makers have used the original composition but have not had Divine or Naezy sing it, instead it is Ranveer who is singing it himself which helps to give the rap a new edge but preserves the essence of the original composition. Now that’s a brilliant move on Zoya Akhtar’s part!

Feels Like Behind The Scenes Footage Of The Actual Video

The video of the song is almost identical to that of the original, but here they show how the song was perhaps shot. As a result, it looks like a behind the scene footage of the actual video. Honestly, could not think of a something cooler that we would have expected to see from the film.

Ranveer Singh…Take A Bow

With the kind of phase Ranveer is going through, it is redundant to reiterate how amazingly awesome he is, but we can’t help. From the very first frame of the song, he is looks soaked in his character and the song. Apart from doing a near flawless job at getting the rap damn right, he is dancing, having fun, making fun, expressing his art, talking about things that matter to him and things that matter to the world- he is just doing so much and it looks so damn awesome and cool.

Sidhhant Chaturvedi Might Turn Out To Be The Kamli Of Sanju

When the trailer of Gully Boy dropped, people surely noticed the boy who is playing Ranveer mentor and friend, but this song belongs to him as much as it belongs to Ranveer. He has gone to lengths to get the body language and accents rights and honestly one could not be more convincing as a street rapper from Mumbai. Also, did we mention we are a fan of swag which is literally on fleek?

Swooning Over The Cinematography

Rap and its corresponding music videos rely a lot on cinematography which helps a great deal in getting the desired impact. The cinematography in this case totally lives up to that. Along with crisp editing, the frames and the images actually move in perfect sync with the upbeat music and all of it together makes for a heady cocktail.
