The year couldn't have started on a better note than this with Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh sweeping away applauses and acclaim for their firebrand performance in Zoya Akhtar's Gully Boy.
Bollywood celebs have been bowled over by the phenomenal performance of the duo. The story focuses on the life of an underdog rapper from the slums of Mumbai and how he makes it big.
Though the film is slated to release on Valentine's Day, a special premiere was organised at Berlin, which also received thunderous applause from the audience.

Watched #GullyBoy yesterday. It takes you into a world you know nothing about & makes you care for its people, their lives, their futures. What more can an audience ask for? Superbly directed, spot on performances, great emotional highs and lows. And banging rap - music & lyrics.
