BAMBUKAT has taken Punjab by storm as it collected over 4.50 crore nett in its first weekend. The film was expected to do well but not too this level. It has completely overshadowed DISHOOM in the circuit and East Punjab would have been one of the better circuits for DISHOOM. The collections in places like Ludhiana, Amritsar and Jalandhar are double of DISHOOM. It's business in Delhi/UP is less as the face value is not there for that market but it did pick up well on Saturday and should sustain well as the circuit plays catch up. The opening weekend of the film is the third highest ever in East Punjab and only behind the two SARDAARJI films frontlined by the initial draw of Diljit Dosanjh. The daily weekend business in East Punjab is as follows.
Friday - 1,38,00,000
Saturday - 1,46,00,000
Sunday - 1,81,00,000
TOTAL - 4,65,00,000

The all India business of the film will be around 5.15 crore nett. BAMBUKAT is already a HIT film after three days and where it goes from will depend on the follow through from today onwards. It will sustain but the key is at what level.
