The latest installment in the beloved Jatt & Juliet franchise, starring Diljit Dosanjh and Neeru Bajwa, has entered its second week on a bittersweet note. While Jatt & Juliet 3 has garnered a respectable worldwide collection of 66.19 crore after eight days, its performance has been a tale of two box offices – a domestic undercurrent and a vibrant overseas success story. Read on!
Despite the immense popularity of the Jatt & Juliet series and Diljit Dosanjh‘s star power, the film’s domestic run has fallen short of expectations. Opening strong with a decent 3.5 crore on the first day, Jatt & Juliet 3 witnessed a significant drop in collections during weekdays. This sharp decline, resulting in a total domestic gross of 27.19 crore after eight days, can be attributed to two key factors.
Firstly, the release of Prabhas’s sci-fi epic Kalki 2898 AD seems to have posed a strong challenge. Secondly, lower weekday occupancies, a common trend in the Indian film industry, further hampered Jatt & Juliet 3’s domestic performance.
However, Jatt & Juliet 3 has found redemption in the international market. Capitalizing on Diljit Dosanjh’s massive global fanbase, the film has performed exceptionally well overseas. With a staggering 39 crore gross collection in just eight days, the international market has emerged as a saving grace for the film. This success highlights the growing importance of overseas markets for Punjabi cinema, where dedicated fan bases can provide a significant financial boost.
Currently, Jatt & Juliet 3 sits at an estimated 66.19 crore worldwide gross, just 8 crore away from surpassing Mastaney to become the second-highest-grossing Punjabi film of all time. Considering the film is still running in theaters, there’s a chance it could climb the ranks.

The future of Jatt & Juliet 3 and the franchise as a whole will depend on its ability to maintain a strong presence in both domestic and international theaters.
