Double Di Trouble had reasonable collections on day one as it collected around 65 lakhs nett on its first day in East Punjab. The film was the first Punjabi film from Mukta Arts and first film with legendary superstar Dharmendra in a full fledged role.

Earlier Dharmendra had guest roles in Punjabi films but the name used to be enough to get huge openings in the 70's and 80's. Do Sher in 1974 was a runaway hit and was even dubbled in Hindi as Do Sholay in 1977 and proved to be the only Punjabi dubbed film till date to see success in Hindi due to the star power of Dharmendra.
