Ruling as the top Punjabi grosser since October 2022
The Fawad Khan starrer has been ruling at the top among Punjabi films for almost 33 months now. Diljit Dosanjh, Neeru Bajwa, and Jasmin Bajwa’s Jatt & Juliet 3 had an outside chance to come close to it in 2024, but wrapped up at 102.63 crores.
Diljit’s latest release, Sardaar Ji 3, has a chance of crossing it if it gets a green signal for its release in India. Already, it has earned well over 60 crores in the overseas market. With the Indian release, it might chase The Legend Of Maula Jatt’s lifetime collection to become the highest-grossing Punjabi film.
