According to Cameron Bailey, Artistic Director, Toronto International Film Festival, a regular at the Berlinale, Gully Boy elicited the “biggest cheers” he had heard in “20+ years” at the annual film jamboree.
Berlinale officials were grateful to Ranveer and the film’s cast and crew for leaving an impact that will be hard for the film fest crowd to forget.
“Thank you Ranveer, we had a blast last night, you were absolutely amazing,” read a post on the official Twitter handle of the fest.
