Sardaar Ji 3 grosses Rs.42.60 crores internationally in 10 days
Sardaarji 3 has emerged as the highest-grossing Punjabi film of 2925 regardless its non-release in India.
According to Sacnilk, the horror-comedy has now grossed ₹42.60 crore from overseas markets in just 10 days,
The Amar Hundal directorial had a strong second weekend, amassing around ₹9 crore, with only a 40% drop from its opening weekend—an impressive hold that reflects sustained interest among global audiences. However, the film did not record weekend collections in Pakistan due to cinema closures for Muharram, after having earned ₹7 crore there in its first week.
As per global breakdown, North America remains Sardaar Ji 3’s biggest market, contributing ₹18.75 crore ($2.2 million), followed by Pakistan with ₹7 crore ($830K) and the United Kingdom with ₹6.25 crore ($725K). These figures have placed the film as the third-highest-grossing Punjabi film in overseas history, behind Jatt & Juliet 3 ( ₹57.50 crore) and Carry On Jatta 3 ( ₹46 crore).
If current momentum continues, Sardaar Ji 3 may surpass both and become the highest-grossing Punjabi film ever in international markets.
The film is expected to cross the ₹50 crore mark overseas in the coming days, further solidifying its blockbuster status.
Controversy over India release
The film’s absence from Indian cinemas stems from backlash over the casting of Pakistani actor Hania Aamir in the wake of the Pahalgam attacks that took 26 lives. This sparked controversy and protests from certain groups in the country. The makers withheld the film’s release in India, costing it significant domestic revenue. Industry insiders believe that had Sardaar Ji 3 been released theatrically in India, it could have emerged as the biggest Punjabi film worldwide.
