The Diljit Dosanjh and Hania Amir-starring Indian Punjabi film ‘Sardaar Ji 3’ has achieved a new milestone, surpassing the PKR 30 crore mark and raking in over PKR 31 crore to date, beating the lifetime business of ‘Carry On Jatta 3’ in Pakistan.
According to available data, the Gippy Grewal and Sonam Bajwa-starring ‘Carry On Jatta 3’ crossed PKR 28 crore in Pakistan by August 2023. Given its longer theatrical run and re-release in 2024 due to a lack of competition from local cinema, it’s estimated that the film may have ended its lifetime closer to PKR 30 crore.
‘Sardaar Ji 3’ has not only crossed the PKR 30 crore mark but remains steady at the Pakistani box office with a maximum number of shows and good occupancy even in its third week. The film’s dominance is expected to continue, and the film is likely to create more box office records for any Indian or any foreign film in Pakistan.
Pakistanis have not just showered their love on Hania Amir’s film in Pakistan but have also contributed a huge business in overseas markets like UK, UAE, and Norway where the Pakistani diaspora has a good presence. The film hasn’t been released in India, but in overseas it has done remarkably well and has already become the only Indian Punjabi film after Diljit’s previous ‘Jatt & Juliet 3’ to cross INR 50 crore mark. According to Pinkvilla, the film has grossed $6 million (INR 51 crore) in overseas markets in just fifteen days.
