I am sorry for being on a rant literally but what makes #GullyBoy stand out is its progressive outlook towards relationships, fight against patriarchy, social bondage and more. It will make you believe in dreams! Don’t give up because ‘apna time aayega’! ♥️

I am freakin’ loving @RanveerOfficial and @aliaa08 in this film. The pace, the built of the story. The sound design, the subtext. There is a sense of humor in telling a dark story that is executed beautifully. #ZoyaAkhtar, you are a star. #GullyBoy

A very special mention for this exceptionally Talented @aliaa08 who combined all her emotions play #Safina so Effortlessly. Ladki itni hard hai, saamne Chota har Pahaad Hai. #GullyBoy #ZoyaAkhtar @RanveerOfficial @excelmovies @FarOutAkhtar @ritesh_sid @kagtireema @tigerbabyindia

Take a bow @ZoyaAkhtarOff you are undoubtedly one of the best filmmakers @RanveerOfficial @aliaa08 and the entire cast of #GullyBoy – you’ve set the bar too high. Insane performances. Do yourself a favour and go watch it today.

There is no stopping Safina (Alia Bhatt), neither his conservative parents nor insecurities of her character. She is the soul of the movie alongside the impeccable soundtrack. No current actress does meltdown scenes better than Alia & Zoya used that to perfection here. #GullyBoy
