Gully Boy has managed to meet all expectations that were mounted against the much-anticipated project.
The Zoya Akhtar directorial hasn’t only garnered enormously positive reviews from critics, with special praise to the lead cast’s performances, it has also managed to ring the right bell with the masses, fetching solid numbers at the box office.
With an opening day collection that now stands tall as the ‘second highest’ in Ranveer Singh’s career, the movie’s 3-day total in the domestic market has already crossed 50 crores, earning yet another fab number on Saturday.
#GullyBoy catches speed… Crosses ₹ 50 cr… Metros excellent, driving the biz… Mass belt/Tier-2 cities improve… Day 4 [Sun] should be huge again… ₹ 70 cr+ *extended* weekend on cards… Thu 19.40 cr, Fri 13.10 cr, Sat 18.65 cr. Total: ₹ 51.15 cr. India biz.

Internationally, the movie’s three day collection stand at a lucrative 20. 78 crore.
Sunday is expected to be the peak earning-point in the movie’s box-office graph, which should eventually help Ranveer yield the highest first weekend total of his career after Rohit Shetty’s, Simmba.
If the movie manages to pass the crucial ‘Monday test’, its lifetime total may give it an easy spot among the Top 3 earners of Ranveer’s career, alongside ‘Padmaavat’ and ‘Simmba.’
