Film, which has not been released in Indian theatres due to controversy, crosses INR 50 crore in overseas earnings within just 15 days of its release
KARACHI: (UrduPoint/Pakistan Point News-July 14th, 2025) Despite facing a ban in India, the Punjabi-language film Sardaar Ji 3 starring Diljit Dosanjh and Hania Aamir has achieved a remarkable milestone internationally, setting a new benchmark for Punjabi cinema.
The film, which has not been released in Indian theatres due to controversy, has crossed INR 50 crore in overseas earnings within just 15 days of its release. On Friday alone, it grossed USD 175,000, pushing its total international revenue to USD 6 million (approximately INR 51 crore).
With this achievement, Sardaar Ji 3 becomes only the second Punjabi film in history to earn more than INR 50 crore in overseas markets. The first to do so was Jatt & Juliet 3, also headlined by Diljit Dosanjh.
urthermore, Sardaar Ji 3 has now surpassed the international earnings of Carry On Jatta 3, which had collected INR 46 crore, establishing it as one of the highest-grossing Punjabi films abroad.
The film’s success is being celebrated as a major milestone, not just for the cast and crew, but for Punjabi cinema as a whole, proving its growing influence and market strength on the global stage — even in the absence of a domestic release.
