Sardaar Ji 3 Box Office Collections: Diljit Dosanjh starrer marches past 50 crore overseas
The main differentiator between Sardaar Ji 3 and J&J3 is Pakistan, where the former has emerged as a box office juggernaut. It has grossed nearly PKR 30 crore so far and will soon become the biggest Indian film in the country, surpassing Sanju and Sultan. The way it is going, it could go on to gross over PKR 50 crore there. The film features a Pakistani actress, Hania Aamir, which has led to the film being denied a theatrical release in India. However, that has amplified its appeal in Pakistan and the Pakistani diaspora abroad.
In what are generally the two biggest overseas markets for Punjabi films, Canada and Australia, the film is trailing behind Jatt and Juliet 3. But wherever, Pakistani diaspora has a good presence, that market has overperformed. In the United Kingdom, it is set to overtake Jatt and Juliet 3 in a day or two and will emerge biggest Punjabi film from India. Similarly, the Middle East is already close to double that of J&J3. Norway, a small market but driven by the Pakistani diaspora, has grossed USD 40K, well ahead of any other Indian Punjabi film.
Despite its remarkable overseas run, the absence of a release in India has significantly dented its worldwide number. Needless to say, with a release in India, the film would have cruised past Rs. 100 crore mark and quite possibly beaten Jatt and Juliet 3 as the biggest Punjabi film ever.
The domestic market for Punjabi films has been in dire need of HITs since September last year. Eventhough films have done well, some even did BLOCKBUSTER numbers overseas, things have been silent domestically. Sardaar Ji 3 was hoped to be that film but that hasn't happened. There are whispers that Sardaar Ji 3 may get a release in India this August, but given the political complications, that remains a long shot.

‘I Have No Words': Honey Trehan Frustrated As Diljit's Punjab '95 Remains Stuck With CBFC
Last Updated: Honey Trehan, the director of Diljit Dosanjh starrer Punjab '95 said that CBFC objected to the mention of Indira Gandhi's name in the film, and questioned the logic behind this. Honey Trehan's film 'Punjab '95', starring Diljit Dosanjh as human rights activist Jaswant Singh Khalra, has been stuck with the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) since December 2022. The CBFC demanded 127 cuts, but there has been no further update, filmmaker Honey Trehan told NDTV. He stated that if the 127 cuts were made, only the trailer would remain. He disagreed with the cuts and said that he would remove his name from the film if they were enforced. He said that he understood the pressure on producers to make these cuts but felt the film would no longer reflect his direction. While speaking with NDTV, Honey Trehan pointed out some demands by the CBFC, such as removing 'Punjab' from the film's title despite it being set in Punjab. 'The story is set in Punjab. Why would any sensible person remove 'Punjab' from the title itself? They are Punjabi cops wearing a turban, and they tell me to call them 'Police' and not 'Punjab Police'. Where is the logic?" he questioned. He also added, 'They also said don't take Indira Gandhi's name. Okay, so then what should I call her? There's a film called Emergency that has been made on her whole life, and I can't even have one person take her name in the film? Why such partiality?" Trehan clarified that his film focuses on history and Jaswant Singh Khalra's human rights struggle, not on any political party. Having waited two and a half years, Trehan expressed his frustration over the lack of artistic freedom. 'I have waited and been patient for two and a half years. If you can't express through your art, then where is the democracy? I have no words. This is how it is right now. Beyond a point, it's in nobody's control," he said. Earlier, Jaswant Singh Khalra's wife, Paramjit Kaur Khalra, had fiercely opposed the censor board's demand for cuts, stating that the film, which was created with the family's consent, should be released unaltered.
