New Delhi: Carry on Jatta 3 had another record-breaking day at the box office on Day 5, shattering all previous records established on its opening day. The film earned Rs. 2.50 crores on its fifth day of release, bringing its grand total to Rs.22crores.
As the first Punjabi film in history to earn over 10 million dollars in a single day at the international box office, the film has garnered 57.67 crores. Offshore profits for the film total over $1.25 million, with the majority coming from North America. After that comes Australia at over $415,000, the UK at around $300,000, and Pakistan at around $260,000. Soon after its release, it is reported to become the fifth highest-grossing Indian Punjabi film of all time, overtaking Shadaa and ChaarSahibzaade in its first week alone.
The film’s modest budget helped it to become a box office smash, and producers are hoping for even more in the long term. The first day took in 4.55 crores, while subsequent days brought in 3.85 crores, 5.10 crores, and 6 crores. With almost Rs. 15 crores earned in East Punjab; the film has easily broken the box office record for Punjabi films.
Starring Binnu Dhillon, Gippy Grewal, and Sonam Bajwa, the Carry on Jatta sequel is directed by Smeep Kang and has a stellar cast. This is the third film in the Carry on Jatta series. The previous films in the series earned between 30 and 35 crores net at the Indian box office. It can be expected that this one easily tops the previous record.
In the middle of 2021, the Punjabi film industry had a brief period of success, but subsequent films have mostly underperformed, with the exception ofSaunkanSaunkne in the previous year. Films like Jodi and Maurhhad underperformed despite having some best comedic performers. Punjab’s market has been falling somewhat in recent years because of rising migration to Canada, whereas Canada’s market has been expanding rapidly. Carry on Jatta 3 has opened to massive success in Punjab once again.
The film continues to shatter box office records, and it will be fascinating to watch whether it becomes the first Indian Punjabi film to gross over Rs 100 crore internationally.
