So yeah Gully Boy was only appealing to the urban class youngsters. There can be a few exceptions but they are far too less to affect it's BO. Parents, uncles, aunties, grandparents, people in their middle ages etc. wouldn't be interested in watching it. So why on earth are you comparing it to something like Bajirao Mastani which has the SLB tag and more than anything had mass appeal because it was an epic Romance saga?

It's absolutely ridiculous to compare these 2 films. Gully Boy was something new and different for the Indian audiences, something they aren't used to but still it did pretty good business.

It's music also didn't have mass appeal like for e.g. Kabir Singh's music has but still it did good business and it was primarily a musical.

As for 83, of course we'll see in future what business it does but it's definitely going to be a hit even I believe that.

Also did you actually compare Kapil with Sanjay? 🤣 One is a legend, the first Indian captain to lead India to its first World Cup victory and the other is just another nepo product who is mediocre when it comes to talent and is certainly no legend.

You're also forgetting that Indian people are absolutely crazy about cricket. Ranveer is currently a superstar so yeah I can see why people are saying it's gonna be a sureshot hit.

Gully Boy was released on 3350 screens. It's not a niche film. Your personal experience doesn't mean anything when the producers themselves don't think so that it's niche. Otherwise no point in giving it a wide release or doing so much promotions. Neither a niche film will get such huge opening. And I'm comparing it to BM because the movie opened bigger than that film. Niche term is an excuse because RS fans are actually using it as an excuse for RS giving an underperformer. It didn't work with audience, that's another thing, but its not niche.

I compared Kapil Dev with Sanjay Dutt based on their draw to their biopic. Not about their contributions. Kapil Dev is Amitabh Bachchan of Cricket, but his fans will be too old, and its not necessary that a cricket fan will also be a movie fan and will die to watch his biopic.

The level of opening RS gives is not enough to justify his "Superstar" status. But thanks for calling him that. I hope Mellisa got her answer.

It’s laughable to see shahid giving impact now after being in industry for 20 yrs...

gullyboy is a hit, why are people trying to downplay it by calling it a 'low grosser', so now 140 crs is a low grosser? unbelievable.

its a solid hit, the team is happy and the movie got a very positive reaction

before people said rs cannot get a hit without deepika and slb, now that he has gotten hits without them other excuses are coming out, why are people trying to downplay ranveer's hits? a hit is a hit, no need to bring in excuses

Gully Boy is a low grosser because its less compared to his previous films Padmaavat and Simmba. And its lifetime is 132 Crores. Though the opening of all three films were same, so the reaction was mixed, not positive.

And before jumping on me, see in what context I'm speaking. No one is downplaying RS hits. His fans actually overplay his role in his hits.

not every film is going to make the same, i knew gullyboy wasn't going to make the same numbers as padmavat and simmba because of the genre of the film, i was just hoping for it to make over 100 crs and be a clean hit, and it achieved that, rs fans are very happy with how the film has done

and not only did he star in it but he also rapped in 4 songs, those songs were the biggest hits in the album, so he did actually contribute extra to the film, and tbh he shud get credit for it

Khans are flopping and we still are on debate of star vs star.

It's about genre/story now.

Genre excuse only comes when it's your favourite. But when it comes to other stars, they can be trolled for their flops no matter what's the genre. Doesn't matter what you were hoping. Producers were hoping for something else that's why the wide release.

And I'm not discrediting RS for the film's success. Just showing how much he's dependent on WOM for that success.

but thats the case for every movie now, the era of films depending on stardom has gone, it is more about the content and story and if the film connects with people, it doesn't matter how big the star is, if the film doesn't have good content then it won't work, just look at how the khan films are doing

and how do you know what the producers are feeling about gullyboy? zoya, farhan and ritesh were the producers and they seem very happy with the success of the film
