Sardaarji 2 was outstanding on Sunday as it grossed around 3.25-3.35 crore nett to take its first weekend total to a huge 8.75-8.85 crore nett. These figures are a record edging past the 8.50 crore nett of Sardaarji released last year. The film could have added a little more in East Punjab if it had the same amount of screenings as Sardaarji.
Despite fewer screenings in East Punjab, Sardaarji 2 still created a record in East Punjab by collecting 6.68 crore nett compared to the 6.60 crore nett of Sardaarji. The collections are a record for any film in East Punjab this year and despite the fact that big collecting areas like Gurgaon and Faridabad have a limited contribution to Punjabi films compared to Hindi or English films
The film is a huge hit and already the second highest grossing Punjabi film of the year but it will be the weekdays that will decide where the film will go. The film basically has ten more days to do the bulk of its business as Sultan will hit collections.
