Sardar Ji 3 Box Office Update: Diljit Dosanjh’s Film Breaks Records In Pakistan; Here's What We Know

Sardar Ji 3 Controversy: Diljit Dosanjh and Hania Aamir's latest film, Sardar Ji 3, premiered in Pakistan on June 27. The movie has reportedly achieved remarkable success at the box office in Pakistan. It is noteworthy that the film was released globally, excluding India, on the same date. The opening day saw packed theatres, setting a new record for Punjabi films in Pakistan.

On its first day, Sardar Ji 3 garnered over Rs 3 crores in Pakistan alone, marking it as the highest-grossing Punjabi film on an opening day there. Worldwide, the film collected more than Rs 5 crores. Pakistani Cinema shared these figures on Instagram, while Hania Aamir expressed gratitude through thank-you posts following the successful launch.

Previous Sequels' Success

The earlier films in the series, Sardar Ji and Sardar Ji 2, were also box office hits. Released in 2015, "Sardaar Ji" set a significant record upon its debut. Following its success, Sardar Ji 2 came out in 2016 and reportedly amassed over Rs 24 crores. These sequels have established a strong legacy for the franchise.

Despite its success abroad, Sardar Ji 3 faced controversy due to comments made by Hania Aamir. She criticised India's operation to avenge a terrorist attack that claimed 26 lives in Pahalgam. Her remarks were deemed offensive by many Indians, leading to backlash against the film's casting choices.

Controversy Surrounding Release

Due to this controversy, Diljit Dosanjh and his team decided not to release Sardar Ji 3 in India. This decision aimed to avoid further disputes and maintain peace between audiences across borders. As one of the producers of the film, Diljit played a crucial role in this decision-making process.

The film's impressive performance highlights its popularity among audiences despite not being shown in India. Its global reach demonstrates the widespread appeal of Punjabi cinema beyond traditional markets.

The ongoing success of Sardar Ji 3 underscores the growing influence of regional films internationally. With each release, Punjabi cinema continues to captivate audiences worldwide with engaging stories and performances.
