Sarabjit had a poor first day at the box office as it grossed 3 crore nett. The collections were a bit better in the North but still low. Both Delhi city and East Punjab grossed 45 lakhs each and they should have been much better as the film held more appeal for the area. Mumbai fared very poorly with collections around 75 lakhs nett.

The film has raesonable costs so if it can jump around 50% on saturday and get to 4.50 crore nett it still can have a decent run till the release of Housefull 3. The film was hit by screen apace in East Punjab due to the release of Punjabi biggie Kaptaan though that film has not really done well it cornered the screens in the circuit.
