Gully Boy
Gully Boy is a 2019 Indian
Hindi-language musical drama film written by Zoya Akhtar and Reema Kagti, and
directed by Akhtar. The film is co-produced by Ritesh Sidhwani, Akhtar and
Farhan Akhtar under the banners of Tiger Baby and Excel Entertainment
productions. Loosely based on the life of street rappers Divine and Naezy
(rapper), it stars Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt, and features Kalki Koechlin,
Vijay Raaz and Siddhant Chaturvedi in supporting roles.
The movie Gully Boy is a
coming-of-age story based on the lives of street rappers in Mumbai. It’s a
musical drama that follows the journey of a gifted street rapper who becomes
the face of Mumbai's underground rap music. College student Murad (Singh) lives
with his family in a crowded tenement in the densely populated Mumbai slum of
Dharavi. Tension in the tiny home reaches breaking point when his father Shakir
(Vijay Raaz) takes a second wife, played out in a terrific scene in which a
fuming Murad puts on headphones and drowns out traditional wedding tunes with
A$AP Rocky’s “Everyday.” Murad’s heart is shared equally between rap music and
his girlfriend Safeena (Alia Bhatt,), a sharp-witted medical student from a
religiously conservative higher caste family who has to hide her relationship
from her strict parents. At a university jam session, Murad meets amateur
rapper Sher (impressive relative newcomer Siddhant Chaturvedi), who encourages
the hesitant student to perform his own lyrics, brimming with social injustice
and the obscenity of the caste system. Possibilities are opening up, but then
Murad’s father has an accident and forces his son to take his place as a
chauffeur for a rich family. The pressures are huge: finish school, work on his
raps, drive around the entitled employers, and try to steal some time with
Safeena. Once his father is back on the job and Murad graduates, the idea is
for him to work in his uncle’s office; for Shakir, it represents the pinnacle
of what can be expected from the son of a lowly servant. However, Murad’s plans
have started to soar under Sher’s encouragement, and the pair record a rap
video in the neighborhood that goes viral. Rich wannabe music producer Sky
(Kalki Koechlin) sees the video and offers to fund a professional recording
session around the same time that Nas announces he’s sponsoring a rap battle
where the winner will be his opening act. Naturally, Safeena gets crazy jealous
of Sky, and of course there’s a break up more or less at the moment when
Shakir’s violence against Murad’s mother Razia (Amruta Subhash) and Murad
himself comes to a boil, forcing them to flee. Here’s when one of the side
plots really goes off the rails: to earn much-needed money, Murad joins up with
his buddy Moeen (Vijay Varma), a smalltime drug dealer and car hijacker.
Moeen’s a nasty character who happily employs kids to do his dirty work. Murad feels the disparity around him, rebels
against his father’s attempt to limit his horizons in the name of tradition,
and refuses to end his relationship with Safeena just because her family comes
from another class. Similarly, Safeena won’t give up Murad and plays the game
of being the dutiful hijab-wearing daughter (she’s an expert prevaricator)
until such time as she and her loved one can be independent.
The film has Ranveer Singh as
Murad Sheikh, Alia Bhatt as Safeena Ali, Kalki Koechlin as Sky, Siddhant
Chaturvedi as MC Sher, Vijay Raaz as Aftab Sheikh, Vijay Varma as Moeen, Amruta
Subhash as Afreen Sheikh and Sheeba Chaddha.
The soundtrack is composed, and
performed by a myriad of Indian musicians, MCs, and producers, such as 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. The film has songs like "Asli Hip Hop", "Mere Gully
Mein", "Doori Poem", "Doori", "Train Song", "Jingostan
Beatbox", "Sher Aaya Sher", "Jahaan Tu Chala", "Azadi",
"Kab Se Kab Tak", "Kaam Bhaari", "Ek Hee Raasta",
"Apna Time Aayega", "Jeene Mein Aaye Maza", "Har Gham
Mein Khushi Hai", "Jingostan", "Goriye" and "India 91".
Facebook Wala Pyar
The film Facebook Wala Pyar is
made under the Banner AKKI Film Productions Dream World Cinema. It’s a drama
film produced by Tinku Quraishi and directed by Narayan K. Shahu with star cast
consisting of Rahul Bagga, Nancy Thakkar, Rajesh Sharma and Akhilendra Mishra.
Music director is Raja Pandit. Lyricists
are Shweta Raj and Raja Pandit.
The movie questions: What would
you prefer - Arranged marriage or love? The answer to this question is pretty
easy for our protagonist Raj Kuwar Chaturvedi. Born into a family where people
have always opted for the more orthodox arranged marriages, Raj is a rebel. A
rebel who ceaselessly negates any effort by his lawyer father to get him
married. Reason - he does not want to settle for an arranged marriage. And as
the father worries, Raj does find love. But in the most unlikely manner, on
Facebook. He falls in love with a girl he has never met, or for that matter
seen in real life. A girl, who refuses to even put up her own photograph on her
profile. What happens when they finally meet offline, in the real world? Does
Raj actually find the love of his life? Or is it all going to be in vain?
Hum Chaar
Hum Chaar is a 2019 Indian
Hindi-language film, which is written and directed by Abhishek Dixit. It is
produced by Rajshri Productions that has delivered blockbusters hits since 1947.
Hum Chaar is a Bollywood drama, helmed by Abhishek Dixit. The movie stars Prit
Kamani, Simran Sharma, Anshuman Malhotra and Tushar Pandey in the lead roles.
Hum Chaar will be produced by Rajshri Productions.
'Hum Chaar' is all about the
unbreakable bond of friendship. The story of the film revolves around four
college friends who went their own direction in their life but remained
inseparable from each other. The film introduces four new faces to play the
lead roles in the film. The tagline of the film "Friends Bhi Family
Hain" sums up that the movie is centered around friendship. The film will
remind you of singer Mohammed Rafi's evergreen song "Meri Dosti Mera
Pyar" from the 1964 classic film 'Dosti'. The movie then moves on to
individual frames of four friends who complain about each other and reveal that
they stopped talking after a big fight. However, later we realize that the four
unknowingly still keep a track on each other even though they don't meet up.
The film will introduce newcomers
Prit Kamani, Anshuman Malhotra, Simran Sharma and Tushar Pandey in the lead
roles.
