HONSLA RAKH had an outstanding weekend collecting around 7.75 crore nett over the first three days which is easily the highest pots pandemic weekend for a Punjabi film and the third highest weekend ever for a Punjabi film.

This has come with restriction rules and if these were not there you can add another 1 crore nett to the film for the weekend which would mean that it would have challenged the biggest openers ever, that is, SHADAA and CARRY ON JATTA 2.

The collections in East Punjab are excellent but its Delhi/UP where collections have been phenomenal; it earned 1.86 crore nett in the circuit which is unheard of for a Punjabi film. Delhi city itself has contributed 1.40 crore nett and this three day number in Delhi city is similar to the four day number of BELLBOTTOM

HONSLA RAKH has just not scored in India but overseas as well where the weekend number may well in the $1.1-$1.2 million range which will mean worldwide GROSS somewhere in the region of 17-18 crore.

-----------------------------
HONSLA RAKH became the highest grossing Punjabi film worldwide over the first weekend as it grossed around 17.50 crore beating the figures of SHADAA and CARRY ON JATTA 2 which were 16 crore and 15.25 crore respectively.

The film did business of 7.65 crore nett in India which is 9 crore gross apprx and in overseas the film grossed $1.15 million which is around 8.50 crore. The opening weekend overseas was an all time record beating the $975k of CHAL MERA PUTT 3 released a few weeks back.

The overseas business of Punjabi films seems to have gone a notch higher post the pandemic and this is without a huge market like Australia struggling at present due to Covid-19. When this market goes to normal, the $4 million mark is not going to look huge for Punjabi films like it did before the pandemic.
