Ranveer Singh starrer Gully Boy opens well in India

The Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt starrer Gully Boy (2019), which opened to largely positive response on Valentine’s Day, minted an impressive collection of ₹ 19.40 crores on its opening day at the domestic box-office.

With its first-day income of ₹ 19.40 crores, Gully Boy has turned out to be Ranveer Singh’s second biggest opener after Simmba (2018), a cop drama which released in December 2018 and went on to rake in ₹ 20.72 crores on its opening day.


Gully Boy is helmed by well-known filmmaker Zoya Akhtar. It is being heralded as her best work so far. The movie revolves around a young slum boy who wants to make it big as a rapper, fighting against all odds.

After setting the cash registers jingling on its opening day, the film is now expected to keep up the momentum and earn a handsome amount before closing out its first weekend at the box-office.

Trade pundits are of the opinion that if the movie registers a spike in its collection on Friday, it will easily cross the coveted ₹ 100 crore mark within its first extended weekend.

Gully Boy is an Excel Entertainment offering.

Prashasti Singh started her stand-up terrified of speaking in public. “I was very conscious of my language, my pronunciation, my accent. I thought stand-up wouldn’t be my thing,” she says. But her first open mic changed that. “It felt like I was among a bunch of sisters, a bunch of friends. I just forgot all my nervousness. It came out very naturally.”
