Jatt and Juliet 3 has made an impressive mark in the Punjabi film industry, concluding its eight-day extended first week with a worldwide gross of Rs. 64 crore. This remarkable feat sets a new record for Punjabi films, surpassing the Rs. 62 crore earned by Carry on Jatta 3 exactly one year prior. The film has performed exceptionally well overseas, grossing USD 4.40 million compared to USD 3.45 million by Carry on Jatta 3. However, within India, it ranks second with Rs. 27.70 crore.
East Punjab: Jatt and Juliet 3 Box Office Collections
The primary disappointment for Jatt and Juliet 3 lies in its performance in East Punjab. This region accounted for the significant difference between its collections and those of Carry on Jatta 3. In other parts of India, the film’s collections were on par with Carry on Jatta 3. Despite this, labeling it a disappointment might be harsh, considering the collections are still the second-highest ever for a Punjabi film. The franchise’s history set high expectations, as the previous installments, Jatt and Juliet 1 and 2, were the highest-grossing Punjabi films of their time. The first film netted Rs. 11 crore in East Punjab, and the sequel further increased to Rs. 14 crore.
Weekend Clash with Kalki 2898 AD
Jatt and Juliet 3 faced a significant challenge with a weekend clash against Kalki 2898 AD, which impacted its showcasing. There was hope that the film would show stronger trending during weekdays when capacity constraints would be less of an issue. Historically, major Punjabi films have shown substantial holds on weekdays due to massive spillover. However, this was not the case for Jatt and Juliet 3, as the weekday holds were described as “good” rather than exceptional.

Jatt and Juliet 3 Highest-Grossing Punjabi Film Globally
Despite these challenges, the Diljit Dosanjh starrer still has a shot at becoming the highest-grossing Punjabi film of all time globally. Much will depend on its performance over the next two weeks. Notably, Carry on Jatta 3 did not have particularly strong holds, which could work in favor of Jatt and Juliet 3 achieving this milestone.
