Despite political tensions barring its release in India, “Sardaarji 3” starring Pakistan’s Hania Aamir and Indian Punjabi superstar Diljit Dosanjh is racing toward a historic Rs. 50 crore global box office mark. The film has amassed Rs. 33.6 crore in just one week, fueled by roaring success in the US, Canada, UK, and Pakistan, with the diaspora rallying behind it.

Banned in India due to Hania’s casting post-Pulwama fallout, the Amar Hundal-directed action-comedy defied odds, proving content transcends borders. Analysts note that an Indian release could have propelled earnings past Rs. 100 crore, but its current trajectory (against a Rs. 35 crore budget) still marks a triumph. North America led the charge, while Pakistan’s theaters reported packed shows, buoyed by glowing reviews for Diljit’s performance and the ensemble cast, including Neeru Bajwa and Jasmine Bajwa.
Produced by Gunbir Singh Sidhu, Manmord Sidhu, and Diljit himself, “Sardaarji 3” written by Dheeraj Rattan blends rustic humor with high-octane drama, a formula that’s resonated since its June 27 release. The film’s success cements Diljit’s pan-regional appeal and Hania’s rising crossover stardom, sparking debates on artistic collaboration amid political frost.
As it eyes the Rs. 50 crore club, “Sardaarji 3” stands as a testament to Punjabi cinema’s untapped potential and the power of stories that unite audiences beyond boundaries.
