Gully Boy was among the 91 films out of which the top 10 were to be selected for the finals, but the film, directed by Zoya Akhtar, has been dropped from the list. 'Gully Boy' narrates the story of a poor boy in the street who wants to become a rap artist and his hard work and dedication help him to fulfill his dreams.
Ranveer Singh, Alia Bhatt, Siddhant Chaturvedi, Kalki Koechlin, Vijay Raaz and many other actors were seen in the film. Significantly, no Indian film has won an Oscar till date. 'Mother India' (1958), 'Salaam Bombay' (1989) and 'Lagaan' (2001) were the only three films that managed to reach the top 5.
