Rapper Naved Shaikh, who is popularly known as Naezy, released latest track, ‘Mallika’ on Thursday. The track reflects his effort to portray the feelings of men who struggle to express their love.
Naezy’s music consistently explores socio-political issues, with songs like ‘Haq Hai,’ ‘Tragedy Mein Comedy,’ and ‘Azaad Hu Mein’ addressing the challenges faced by the common man in his life.
However, the singer notes that the tone of ‘Mallika’ is tender, focusing less on themes of gangs, money, or politics and more on the theme of love.
Talking about the song, Naezy said: “In today’s world approaching a girl is questionable. A lot of people are doing it wrong. With ‘Mallika’ I am trying to express my feelings in a respectful way which is both fun and acceptable, which will set an atmosphere where girls are respected like queens and respecting women should be the new trend.

Sparkling lights reflect on the car. Murad is the driver – he drives that expensive car for his boss. It’s parked in front of a star hotel and the privileged guests are talking and walking around. The camera pans on the intense eyes of Murad- he wants to break free. He hums – Apna Time Aayega (My or our time will come). And director Zoya Akhtar brings in the flavor of socialism in the epic story of victory of the underprivileged in “Gully Boy”, where dream meets reality.
Murad (Ranveer Singh) is a 22-year-old son of a chauffeur, Aftab (Vijay Raaz). Murad resides in Mumbai’s slum Dharavi. He is inclined to rap music and expresses his thoughts in writing as he writes his own songs. His abusive father gets married for a second time and brings in his new wife, causing more disturbances in Murad’s life. Murad’s long-time...

‘Alita: Battle Angel’ (Photo: 20th Century Fox)
Fox’s Alita: Battle Angel reigned in the Us, Australia and 40 other markets last weekend – but the studio’s prospects of turning the lavish James Cameron production into a franchise don’t look great.
The futuristic sci-fi adventure directed by Robert Rodriguez posted respectable figures which suggest the studio will be hard pressed to recoup the astronomical production budget of $170 million – reduced from the original $200 million thanks to New Zealand and Texas tax credits – and P&A spend.
The good news for Aussie exhibitors is that business rallied last weekend after several lousy weeks, boosted by Alita, Paramount’s comedy What Men Want and Forum Films’ Indian import Gully Boy.
The Universal/Blumhouse slasher-comedy Happy Death Day 2U had an anaemic bow while the Oscar nominations for eOne’s If Beale Street Could Talk and Transmission Films’ At Eternity’s Gate did not count for much.

Eminent Indian filmmaker Zoya Akhtar’s new film, “Gully Boy,” had its world premiere at Berlin as part of the Berlinale Special screenings strand.
Set in Mumbai’s Dharavi area, one of Asia’s largest slums, the film is loosely based on the lives of street rappers Divine and Naezy, whose music Akhtar first heard in 2014. Akhtar is known for her successful dramas set among the world of the hyper-wealthy in films such as “Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara” (2011) and “Dil Dhadakne Do” (2015) or in elite Bollywood circles such as her debut feature, “Luck by Chance” (2009). “Gully Boy” marks a significant departure in milieu for the filmmaker.
“It’s not so much the theme as the world and the music that is attractive to me,” Akhtar says. “Thematically, the same kind of story that I end up making, which is coming of age, finding your voice, it is similar. It is...

A Bollywood movie about a rapper from the slums may sound derivative, but what does that matter when “Gully Boy” revels in high-wattage screen chemistry and an inclusive social message, all served up in a slickly enjoyable production showcasing Ranveer Singh’s many charms? Zoya Akhtar’s most accomplished film to date is a mainstream rap musical about a Muslim guy from working-class Mumbai determined to break free from the strictures of expectation and class, all served up with generous helpings of deftly written hip-hop lyrics and a largely well-woven narrative that’s so likable one can almost forgive how the script barely bothers to resolve an important plot element.
Even though few Bollywood films break through into non-specialized distribution, this one has a better chance than most to become an international crowdpleaser, polishing and semi-pop-ifying the gritty genre for a broader audience as it does. It doesn’t hurt...

Divine and Naezy are the real life 'gully boys', whose life has inspired an upcoming Bollywood film led by Ranveer Singh, who turned to them to ace his rapper avatar. They hope the movie takes the voice of hip-hop across the country.
Rapper Divine, whose real name is Vivian Fernandes, began his career as an underground rapper in 2011. He has grown up rapping in the 'chawls' of Mumbai.?
After years of struggle, he rose to fame with the song "Mere gully mein" with Naezy. He even made history as the first Indian rapper to rap freestyle in Hindi for a radio show. In fact, his song "Jungli Sher" became so viral on social media that people started calling him 'sher' of rappers.
Divine's single "Farak" in February 2017 too topped the Indipop charts on iTunes India. But it was lack of understanding of hip-hop music among Indians which made him stay...

In October 2016, Al Jazeera did a stunning piece on the hottest new scene in Mumbai town: underground rap. It looked very closely at “Indianizing Hip-hop” specifically through the eyes of one rapper Navid Shaikh or Naezy. Only 2 years on and this same theme is now a major Bollywood film Gully Boy. Directed by Zoya Akhtar and led by Ranveer Singh, this story tells not only of Naezy’s rise to the heights of this young movement but also compatriot Divine in a musical album subtitled “Apna Time Aayega”. Its music would not be complete or correct without inputs from Divine and Naezy themselves but also from a multitude of the stars of this form with Spitfire, Rishi Rich and Dub Sharma just to name a few also getting in on the act. To round the album with the necessary non-rap songs Karsh Kale, Ankur Tewari and Jasleen Royal also make major contributions.
