Sardaar Ji 3 Box Office Collection Day 3: Diljit Dosanjh, Hania Aamir's film breaks records overseas, earns Rs...
As per The Indian Express, the film opened with a 'record-breaking' Rs 4.32 crore (INR) overseas on Friday, climbed to Rs 6.71 crore on Saturday, and closed Sunday at an impressive Rs 7.07 crore, rounding out an unstoppable debut. Pakistan's love for Diljit breaks a Salman record
The most surprising twist? The film's Pakistan collections broke a long-standing record held by Salman Khan's 'Sultan'.
On Day 1, Sardaar Ji 3 earned PKR 3.5 crore (approx. INR 1 crore)—surpassing Sultan's 2016 opening of PKR 3.4 crore.
This not only underlines Diljit Dosanjh's regional and cross-border appeal but also suggests that cinematic popularity often ignores political lines. Hania Aamir's controversy
At the heart of the storm lies the casting of Pakistani actor Hania Aamir, which triggered backlash and led to FWICE enforcing their ban on Pakistani talent post the Pahalgam terror attack.
While critics slammed the film for ignoring this directive, others, including Naseeruddin Shah, rallied behind Diljit.
In a now-deleted Facebook post, Shah stated, 'I stand firmly with Diljit. He was not responsible for the casting… but no one knows who the director is, whereas Diljit is known the world over.'
He added, 'He agreed to the cast because his mind is not poisoned.'
The statement stirred emotions but also reminded audiences of the blurry lines between art, commerce, and politics. Success beyond borders
Directed by an unnamed filmmaker and backed by a popular franchise, Sardaar Ji 3 has managed to become an international success story without its largest potential market.
As the film continues to run abroad, all eyes are now on whether it can outperform its previous instalments, even without a single screen in India.

Spacious living room perfect for hosting friends and family Trisha Krishnan's residence opens to a very spacious living area, which is marked by a wide variety of seating options, including three layouts of sofas. The central point of the room is adorned by a large coffee table and the spot itself comes across as the best part to host friends, guests and family. Earthy-toned upholstery, thick curtains and warm tones The major theme of her entire interior design has been to balance the bright tones with the warm ones. The Thug Life actress has decked up the place with double curtains in different tones of rust and gold. They twin with her tanned leather seating areas. The addition of thick curtains not only adds a certain kind of silhouette to the place but also gives it a sense of warm touch and a homely feeling. Unique tiled walls give a traditional touch The second half of her living room is a space which gives a unique traditional touch to the place. Well, this area is centered around a large wooden table decked with metal lamps and warm lights. Additionally, the monotony of white walls in this area is broken by the use of tiles which give the effect of wall panels.

To match with it, the actress has utilized wooden furnishing everywhere, from storage options, seating areas, a chest of drawers and more. Inside Trisha's minimalist bedroom Quite contrary to the rest of the house, Trisha Krishnan's bedroom is designed quite minimalistically than any other space. She ditched the warm and earthy tones and left the walls of her own room white, which gives it a more spacious look. She has a bay window that comes with a perfect seating area, whose addition in the room brings in an abundance of light to the space. A large bed is placed at the center of her room. Simple carpet, vinyl floors and light-hued curtains give the actress's room a very cosy appeal. Trisha Krishnan's vanity Coming to her vanity area, Trisha has designed her vanity according to her tastes and likings. She has a well-lighted mirror at the centre, and has kept the area quite less on furnishing, to add on more floor spacing.
