GULLY BOY had a good first day as it collected in the 18.5 crore nett range with phenomenal collections in a few metros. Overall it was super strong in places and low in other places but due to Mumbai city, Pune and Bangalore putting up huge numbers, it has come out to be a good first day.

The opening is the second best ever for Ranveer Singh after SIMMBA and the best ever for Alia Bhatt. It is not a holiday but Valentines Day has given a film boost and it will be the second day that will tell how much of a boost. The second day figure will probably be the real value first day number.

The collections in Mumbai circuit will hit 7 crore nett and that is with an average performance in Gujarat. Delhi/UP will get upto a decent 3.50-3.75 crore due to Delhi city and Noida being good while UP is low. East Punjab is 1.75 crore nett with a huge ratio from Gurgaon. South India has done well with Mysore close to 1.50 crore nett and Nizam/Andhra near 1 crore nett.

Generally its a huge performance in the metros and satellite towns of metros though not so good elsewhere. Despite only performing well in five cities the film has come out with a good first day number which gives the films a good chance of scoring with that target audience.

The local Mumbai feel has pushed the collections in Mumbai city and Pune though it can also mean that the film will be Mumbai centric in the long run as that feel may not relate as much in other parts of the country. The film had a wide release of 3350 screens for a film of its type but a huge ratio has come from the 50 odd big multiplexes.

Its a four day weekend which means a good extended weekend for the film as this starting point is good and then it will be about that all important Monday
