The narrative was compelling, gripping and hit us right in the feels, making us cry as well as feel elated, as we watched Murad (Ranveer) finally taste the success he deserves.

Gully Boy is inspired by the lives of Indian street rappers Divine and Naezy, who started small and ended up joining the league of prominent artists in India.

Divine (Vivian Fernandes) hit to fame after his track 'Ye Mera Bombay' impressed everyone. He made his way up in the world of Hindi rapping and is currently an inspiration for many youngsters in the country who dream big, despite not having much.  

With a plethora of admirers running after him and rooting for him, there is one particular fan of Divine who has rooted for him since he began his journey and it's none other than his mother.  

Divine recently shared a video of his mother cheering and dancing her heart out at his concert, proving that mothers are indeed our biggest cheerleaders.
