After a smashing opening day at the box office release on Valentine's Day, Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt starrer Gully Boy registered a slowdown in business on Friday. The film collected Rs 13.10 crore on Day 2, a dip in comparison to Rs 19.40 crore reported on Thursday. This took the total box office collection of Gully Boy to Rs 32.50 crore.

However, the trade analysts are hopeful the film will pick up during the weekend and put a strong show at the box office.
