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.
