Gully Boy First Weekend Collections Out. Figures Are Awesome & The Movie Is Close To 100 Crore

Zoya Akhtar’s latest directorial “Gully Boy” is enjoying a great run on the box-office and it has a good chance of crossing Rs. 200 crore mark in the second week. The movie stars Ranveer Singh as a rapper from Dharavi, a slum in Mumbai, while Alia Bhatt plays the character of a medical student who is also Ranveer’s girlfriend in the movie.

The movie was released on the Valentine’s Day and had a great opening with whopping Rs 19.40 crore; however, the collections dipped on Friday after the unfortunate Pulwama incident in which more than 40 CRPF soldiers lost their lives. While the movie earned Rs 13.10 crore on its second day, the figures went up again on Saturday and Ranveer-Alia starrer minted Rs 18.65 crore on the third day.

A massive growth was seen on the fourth day as “Gully Boy” earned Rs 21.30 crore on Sunday, making its first extended weekend collections Rs. 72.45 crore.

Day 1 – Rs 19.40 crore

Day 2 – Rs 13.10 crore

Day 3 – Rs 18.65 crore

Day 4 – Rs 21.30 crore

Total – Rs 72.45 crore
