I expected you guys to talk about that scene where Ranveer is asked by Rahul Bose about his educational qualification and he proudly responds that he is in his final year. Rahul switches to English to talk to his daughter and asks whether she wants to be on same level as him. Ranveer's proud smile turns upside down. I have not seen such a strong moment in Hindi movies for a long time. Also, Alia telling Ranveer that she has to be daring as she aspires to achieve a lot and has to face a lot of opposition doing the same. You almost talked about these scenes, and didn't.

[@esitachakraborty5435]

There are so many moments like that another one is my favourite when Murad was driving that girl back from the pub and she was crying. He didn't even console her or made her feel better and the Doorie poem with perfect lyrics describing the situation played in the background

Agree. Easily one of the best in the movie - his eyes and expressions are amazing.

[@v.a.2796]

thanks ...for mentioning the guy ...he was amazing in the movie.

[@depakchandel]

Just to mention my thoughts on SKY character which is termed as useless by many viewers... Kalki kind off played a real life person Rajakumari, who has collaborated with Devine, reaching to him after watching a KZbin video. If you guys have noticed, Murad also uses the word "Rajkumari" for Sky, when they took him for vandalising. Also I like to mention that.. Rajkumai herself has also been casted in the movie, as the female judge in the rap-battle audition.

[@ankitsaraf6240]

I think kalki's character was important since she helped ranveer to look at the upper class world from inside and being a part of it, which he didn't explored while filling up at driver's job. Also to get in the house of kalki and the bathroom scene where he measures it. It wouldn't have been possible in the film if kalki's character wasn't there. I feel a full justice to her character has been given as well .

[@squiggles2311]

ankit saraf I agree totally...also when Murad asked her, “why do you like me”...or something like that because he couldn’t understood why someone like her would like someone like him ...she told him he’s an artist and that’s what mattered ...in a way she gave him(rightly or wrongly) on some level...legitimacy as a musician/rapper. Also it is biographical because RajaKumari (Indian artist from the USA) did contact Devine through KZbin and they collaborated on songs... Kalki/Sky definitely worked for me in the narrative

[@pujasangoi8532]

The bathroom measuring scene at Kalki’s house was one of the most significant scenes of the movie done in silence. Haven’t sent anything like that in movies before yet it’s such a realistic scene that shows Ranveer’s eyes opening of what the upper class actually means which in turn motivated him to work even harder to get his own place for his mom.

On my 2nd viewing, I got really excited noticing Divine intoroducing Ranveer before his last performance. Was a nice moment, and also reminded me of the real Jordan Belfort introducing Leo at the end of Wolf of Wall Street

[@mukeshsaxena5603]

The dynamics between Ranveer Singh and Vijay Raaz is so good in the movie, there are two scenes of them going to mosque, Murad walks behind his father and Vijay Raaz looks dominating over Ranveer, despite ranveer looking strong.

[@deepthin7480]

I don't think gully boy is apolitical, zoya is extremely powerful in showing subtle nuances ...Whether it is patriarchy, class structure, religion, azadi was played when the cars being stolen is extremely significant where it the lyrics criticise many elite classes'. Edit: kalki's scene where she paints brown and beautiful is also a political comment on ingrained beauty conventions in india

[@snehaaggarwal7256]

Also, in the last when a woman with a thali puts Tilak on murad's face. In the polarised times of today, even showing compassion between hindus and muslims is massively political. Man I love Zoya so much!

[@rajeshkant5446]

I found the new "azadi" track on KZbin funny. One of the news portals that went all out trying to implicate Kanhaiya Kumar as anti-national was Zee News and the original Dub Sharma track came out in support of Kanhaiya Kumar. The original version even had the student slogans. Seeing the new song release under Zee Music label really made me chuckle. I was like "the song came a full circle" lol.

I'm really crushing on Rahul! His understanding of the movie is amazing. His take on the apolitical bit was mind blowing.

[@MiraasbyMariyamDawood]

I am not a cinema expert but I could be sitting at this table with these guys being super excited like they are. Because it's been so long, so long that a "Bollywood" film has been so on point, so long since Zoya gave her best, sooooooooo long since I saw Ranveer show how brilliantly capable he is that he is way beyond this crazy loud guy that he showed the world that an actor can be possessed by a character in a way that we see no trace of the actor himself. Am feeling so proud of this film because these people I feel have been mine. Even the rappers whome I got to know about very recently but as soon as I heard Naezy at the very beginning I was super happy and proud, when I saw the names of Naezy and divine on screen, every time arl real rapper came on screen, when they sang 'asli pane ko tu ane de' I felt immensely proud of all these hardworking artists who are all finally getting the name and fame they deserve. P.S. after this I would not accept anything mediocre from Ranveer Singh I hope he makes better choices

People need to appreciate such films so that Bollywood can improve upon its story telling and build complex character arcs. Most of our movies are so one dimensional that one movie like Gully Boy bring glow in our faces. We need more such movies. Remember we cant make CGI heavy expensive films like hollywood but our film industry is old enough to be at least on par in story telling.

Thank you for saying that cricketers or stars don't owe us anything, that is their job, they act,they get paid and if people like it they watch or they don't. As a person if they wanna do something for the society or country it's a different story, and people are so busy asking and accusing others about what have they done after the attack but have they thought what have i done other than sitting somewhere trolling actors,actresses or a celebrity !!!! Also posting something on social media doesn't make someone a good human. Action speaks louder than words and whatever they do for the society or the country doesn't have to be on social media. If a celebrity posts something people troll them saying it's a PR stunt and if they don't they accuse them 🤦

I completely agree with you people on the fact that this movie was completely not a apolitical movie, it's just Zoya ma'am minced her agenda very cleverly, especially in that scene where Murad is asked about his qualifications and he very proudly answers that he's in the final year of graduation, with his shining eyes. And then that man turns to his daughter and ask her "see everyone is a graduate, you want to end up this level" this clearly reflects the unemployment issue of our country.

After such a long time, I walked out of a hall absolutely ecstatic and joyous about what I just experienced - it just takes you out of your zone and places you in the middle of a world that you can't get enough of, and are given the right tools to experience and explore. Phenomenal movie, and an equally exciting experience to discuss it with voices and perspectives that are able to peel the layers of this onion with some tears in their eyes. I have decided to see luck by chance again because Zoya and Reema deserve this frenzy for their work. Also, I love these break downs guys - it is like a one way reddit thread for hindi movies :).

[@bomanchiki549]

I know my comment, in all probability will be ignored. I just want to put my view on certain things. My review on the in house critics: 1. Anupama Chopra: One of the most elegant speakers I have seen on KZbin since forever. I watch your reviews just to listen to your kind voice. And I'm inspired by your daughter Zuni(I read a whole book series just because of your video on Books On Toast.) 2. Sucharita Tyagi: Protect her, Keep her with you forever, FILM COMPANION!!! Humne keh dia na Chopra sahab is par laga dijiye... Coz She's an absolute genius in decoding a movie. My go-to reviewer for any and every movie I want to watch. Love you Sucharita!!!! Keep doing the amazing reviews you do. And NEVER let the negativity pull you down. You're the best! 3. Rahul Desai: I only watch this guy during "Let's Talk Movies" episodes, so I don't know much about him. I can only say from these episodes that,"Bro, tu bahot downer hai bro." Always so sad and wanna-be intellectual. Har cheez mein galti nikalna jarurat nahi hai. Thoda chill kar bro. Itna pareshan mat raha kar. 4. For complete Film Companion: You guys are doing an absolutely amazing job. I love everything about this channel. I watch all your content. I was a bit disappointed that you guys didn't put out a Let's Talk Movies episode after Manikarnika. But well, everyone has their own agenda. So I guess it can't be expected from anyone in the world to stay neutral. Honestly, the movie(Manikarnika) was a little underwhelming for me. But still it wasn't very elegant of Anupama to not interview Kangana before the movie or skipping the Let's talk Movies episode after the release of the movie. Okay... All said and done. I love this channel and I love the content you are putting out there. Cheers!

[@shripendse]

The last guy must be emiway bantai. He has crazy following. Even on KZbin

[@minalsharma8884]

Kalki's char was important kyonki 1. Poor or less privileged ppl always look for acceptance from ppl way beyond their reach. Both Ranveer n MC Sher knew they were good but when Kalki gives them chance that's when they realise how good they are. Also MC Sher behaves like Sher when he is in his area but look at his body language in front of Kalki...he acts so shy.. 2. Aalia thinks she is very bful and way too good for Muraad. It reflects in one of her dialogues with him. So Kalki s track was imp for Aalia to c Muraad can be taken away if he wants by other equally or more bful girls. 3. Thru Kalkis char Muraad gets to c how upper class ppl live from inside their house.

[@Snehashish06]

Minal Sharma wow great points. I’d like to add that Kalki’s character also provides the morality angle for Murads character. He falters but also makes a decision even after breaking up with Alia to not pursue or encourage Kalki. Based on this decision Murad and Safeena come back together. So I agree that Kalki’s character provides the flow.

The fact that sky’s character is underwritten may highlight that rich people will come and go but does it really affect the working class? It is a smart contrast to most other movies about upper class people where the working class characters are underwritten. I.e. if Rahul bose's driver changes it hardly impacts their life. Similarly, if people like sky come and go from Murad's life, they can hardly impact his life or change his situation.

But since I love watching ur videos I get to know more about the movie before watching I.. So plzzzz do such interviews after atleast 1 week of its release. Thank you.

i like this .....lets talk movies

[@kartikeya24jha]

How could you not realise it the first time that it was the same club.

[@donamitra2958]

Not even 10secs in the video, I have liked the video 😍😍

[@iamsabit1337]

Terrific film, possibly one of the best in years! Zoya never fails to impress. A must watch for anyone that loves Indian Films!

[@VishalSharma-eq7lh]

Was waiting for so long......

[@shubhashrichoudhury7266]

Thank you for doing this!

[@aymo7038]

I really wanted to hear Rahul talk more! Sucharita gurl, let him talk

[@PetrolSniffingDoofus]

You guys missed the scene where the Doori poem takes place. I liked the poem as a track but when I saw it in the movie, it went to another level. Best scene in the movie for me.

[@MrAthul123]

I was waiting for this.. 😍😍

[@prajwal1318]

Finally one 'lets talk' video without someone popping in to give tea 🍵 😂

[@roysondrock]

the entire movie gully boy followed the standard rags to riches script, its the music and acting that makes this movie special, also the brilliant cinematography

[@anujachatterjee6719]

You know I just watched it. And I really want Zoya to be given even more recognition. She is so talented!! No one could have done what she it. It was fucking beautiful!!

[@aashishmalviya2185]

Great question on Azadi. I think it comes out of nowhere in the film. The song itself is amazing though

[@diprajmore4418]

Big big thanks to Zoya,then the Film Companion team. And big love to Rahul Desai,bhai apno dono ka movie dekhne ka tarika jara same same hai, although you are at higher level than me but we catch similar things. So liked that. But got sad on video because you didn't mentioned MC Sher???how can we miss him.... He is as brilliantly stuck in mind as Alia's character. I request you to make long video on this movie and discuss more things because this movie deserve as much attention as we can give. So please think about it

[@abhilashajaiswal2335]

MC Sher wears bolt as ring that so much detail! Everything is so perfectly blend!

[@amitnagpal1985]

Rahul Desai is so insightful. If he spoke with more confidence, he could have his own KZbin channel.

[@dechenyangdol1245]

you guys didnt talk about the MC Sher character😭

[@rajatuchil524]

The guy he was describing maybe emiway bantai

[@2001aniket]

This was such an enjoyable watch!

[@3colors388]

So they can devote a full 30 minutes on a single film...bt only 2 minutes for a masterpiece like tumbbad...or is it merely for views...

[@sharmajikabaddabeta]

🤩

[@bhuvan5504]

Azadi is the best song in gully boy, my ringtone since I've come out of the theatre

[@gamer82424]

This film is an instant classic & also will be cultish & generation defining for kids/youth like Dil Chahta Hai was in 2001, should definitely be India’s Oscar entry without a doubt

[@doaa8232]

Totally agree with you

[@gamer82424]

do aa 🙌🏽

[@doaa8232]

people .. These their personal views in the film may you love or not .. Those who do not like just closes the video and does not increase the number of channel views. . Or better to open a channel yourself and put two chairs and cups of coffee and praise the film you loves

[@rohangarg8287]

Sucharita promtly saying bye bye to viewers who have not watched Gully Boy at 1:02, this is hilarious

[@jptase123]

FIRST TIME I AM THE FIRST VIEWER I love your reviews guys :D

[@yashmaheshwari1727]

Damn spoilers ... I will watch it day after tomorrow

[@user-tk8je3bi1p]

You guys are all so dramatic 😍😍😍

[@hrushikeshahebbar2129]

When will you do let’s talk about the oscars 2019
