The Punjabi film SAUNKAN SAUNKNE scored excellent numbers at the box office as it collected around 16.50 crore nett in its first week across India. This is the second highest first week total of all time after SHADAA which collected 17 crore nett. The film scored over SHADAA in the East Punjab numbers but was less in the rest of India.  

SAUNKAN SAUNKNE should become the highest grossing Punjabi film post the pandemic over the weekend and should go on to comfortably cross the 25 crore nett mark. The highest grossing Punjabi films are CARRY ON JATTA 2 at almost 34 crore nett and SHADAA at 29 crore nett and these targets are tougher though there is an outside chance the film can reach the numbers of SHADAA though it will be difficult. 

The East Punjab collections of SAUNKAN SAUNKNE are a huge 13.50 crore nett plus for the week which is also the second highest total of all time after CARRY ON JATTA 2 and the film is certain to cross 20 crore nett in East Punjab.

The highest first week collections of Punjabi films till date are as follows.

1. Shadaa - 17 crore

2. Saunkan Saunkne - 16.5 crore

3. Carry On Jatta 2 - 16.25 crore
