Punjabi Film Enters North America’s Top 12
Punjabi cinema is making waves internationally, and Sardaar Ji 3 is leading the movement. The latest release starring superstar Diljit Dosanjh has set a new benchmark. It entered the top 12 films at the North American box office, securing the 11th spot for the weekend of July 4 to July 6, 2025.
Box Office Numbers: Breaking Records in North America
According to Cinemania World, Sardaar Ji 3 earned $751,660 in its second week, pushing its total North American collection to $2.76 million.
Despite intense competition from major Hollywood blockbusters such as:
- Jurassic World Rebirth
- How to Train Your Dragon
- Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning
…the Punjabi film managed to hold strong and attract packed audiences.
Why This Achievement Stands Out
Remarkably, Sardaar Ji 3 is the only Punjabi-language film in the current North American top 12. Every other title in the list is a big-budget Hollywood release.
This accomplishment signals something important:
Punjabi cinema is no longer just regional—it’s global.
Moreover, it highlights the film’s broad appeal and growing influence across cultures. It’s not only popular among the South Asian diaspora but also resonating with mainstream international viewers.
Expanding Globally: International Box Office Performance
While its success in North America is impressive, Sardaar Ji 3 is also doing exceptionally well in other major markets. These include:
- United States
- Canada
- United Kingdom
- Pakistan
This global momentum proves a larger point: Punjabi films are no longer confined to specific audiences. Instead, they are part of a rising entertainment wave that’s crossing borders and cultural boundaries.
A Milestone Moment for Punjabi Cinema
The performance of Sardaar Ji 3 is more than just a win for Diljit Dosanjh and his team. It’s a defining moment for Punjabi-language cinema.
In fact, it demonstrates how regional films, with strong storytelling and star power, can now compete on a global level. As this movie continues its theatrical run, the message is clear—Punjabi cinema has earned its spot on the world stage.
Final Thoughts: Regional Film, Global Reach
To sum up, Sardaar Ji 3 isn’t just making money—it’s making history. By outperforming expectations in both domestic and international markets, the film has shattered the belief that regional language films can’t thrive globally.
With strong word-of-mouth, ongoing box office momentum, and a loyal fanbase, this film’s success marks a turning point in how Punjabi cinema is viewed across the world.
