Anyway, Coming back to the film's fate at the box office, it's quite certain that Gully Boy will have a good run at the ticket windows. The film could also become the second blockbuster of 2019 after Vicky Kaushal's Uri: The Surgical Strike. We say so because as per Boxofficeindia.com, Ranveer starrer has opened to terrific response in Mumbai and Pune during morning shows.
The Boxofficeindia report stated, "Gully Boy took a good opening of around 40-45% overall while cities like Mumbai and Pune took a blockbuster opening which can compare with the biggest of films. The opening of this film was far bigger than Padmaavat and Simmba in Mumbai / Thane and Pune. This is probably due to the local feel of the film."

Further, the report pointed out, "The film has a Thursday release because of Valentines Day. It is not an official holiday but collections do get a boost. The last two years have seen the release of films like Jolly LLB 2 and Pad Man and they got a boost of 25-30% despite not having much for the youth. Gully Boy should get a bigger boost as its a film for the youth with youth stars but it will be the collections tomorrow which will tell how much the boost was." With impressive reviews from critics and good opening at the ticket windows, Gully Boy is indeed on its way to box office success.
