Gully Boy was India's official entry to Oscars 2020. Unfortunately, the film failed to make it to the final list of shortlisted films. Later, Zoya Akhtar told PTI, "There was a huge learning. It was exciting because I have got many, many good things out of it. I'm not going to deny that a lot of good things have happened to me. There are no complaints, only gratitude."

The filmmaker said that she wasn't disheartened with the result and added, "This has encouraged me to do what I do. We are born and bred in this business, you have ups and you have downs. You cannot let the ups go to your head or the downs go to your heart. Because I'm here to stay. I'm here to make movies. My job is to take every experience and get better with it. I have to do that, I have no choice. My first film didn't do well, it doesn't mean I'm going to cry. I'm just going to make a better film, then another better one and so on."

Gully Boy, which released in 2019, is a coming-of-age story based on the street rappers in Mumbai.
