On the other hand, Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt starrer Gully Boy has slowed down at the box office. Since the film’s majority business was coming from metros and multiplexes its business is destined to take a hit when Luka Chuppi and Sonchiriya arrive on this Friday to claim their share of the pie. The film directed by Zoya Akhtar is looking to cross Rs 125 crore today. The film has generated a cool Rs 123.10 crore on the domestic front and around Rs 200 crore worldwide.

Meanwhile, Vicky Kaushal and Yami Gautam starrer URI: The Surgical Strike got a boost in collections of around 30-35% due to the air strikes that happened in the wee hours yesterday. According to a trade website, it is very rare for a film to surge up this much on a Tuesday without a holiday, especially when the other films witnessed a drop in collections.

The film has collected almost Rs 236 crore and has become the first film in the history to breach the Rs 5 crore nett mark in week seven. Looking at the present tense situations between India and its neighbouring country Pakistan, the film’s collections might go up in the days to come.
