Gully Boy box-office collection day 3: Ranveer Singh starrer crosses Rs 50 crore mark

The Zoya Akhtar directorial starring Ranveer Singh & Alia Bhatt in lead roles is performing exceptionally well at the overseas too.

Mumbai: Ranveer Singh's latest film 'Gully Boy' has crossed the Rs 50 crore mark in three days, tweeted trade analyst Taran Adarsh. Adarsh also added that the film's Sunday business should be huge and he predicted a Rs 70 crore plus (extended) weekend for the romantic musical drama.

"Gully Boy catches speed, crosses Rs. 50 crore... Metros excellent, driving the business... Mass belt/Tier-2 cities improve... Day 4 (Sunday) should be huge again. Rs. 70 crore plus (extended) weekend on cards," Taran Adarsh tweeted.

Gully Boy is also performing exceptionally well at the ticket window overseas. "There's a line of thought (within the industry) that Mumbai-centric films find limited takers overseas. Gully Boy seems to prove this theory wrong (as it) goes from strength to strength with each passing day," Taran Adarsh tweeted.

Taking advantage of the Valentine’s Day release, the film had opened at a fantastic Rs 19.40 crore on Thursday but dropped to Rs 13 crore on Friday. However, the film has surely gained momentum at the box office amid good reviews and positive word of the mouth.

The film showcases the hip hop culture in Mumbai and is loosely based on the lives of rappers Divine and Naezy. The film shows the struggles of Murad, played by Singh, as he beats all odds to make an identity for himself. Alia Bhatt plays a feisty girlfriend of Ranveer with her own dreams.

Directed by Zoya Akhtar, 'Gully Boy' also stars Alia Bhatt, Kalki Koechlin and Siddhant Chaturvedi in pivotal roles.
