Trade experts say that a business of Rs 14.57 cr done by the film at the end of the fourth weekend is commendable considering that the film released to limited screens compared to Bollywood films like Bell Bottom and Chehre. The release of the film was limited to theatres in Delhi and Punjab. 

Chal Mera Putt 2, which released in theatres in March,  had done a business of Rs 2.92 cr during its first weekend from March 13 to 15. The Punjabi film did a business of Rs 6.76 cr in its first week post the second wave of pandemic and 
Rs 3.71 cr in its second week post the pandemic.

The film has done excellent business in Canda and the United Kingdom.

Trade sources say that the film is expected to do a business of around Rs 17 crore (nett) during its entire run in Cinemas.

Another Punjabi film Yaar Anmulle Returns did decent business across India in its opening weekend,  earning around Rs 1 crore (nett) in its opening weekend.

A comedy-drama film directed by Janjot Singh, Chal Mera Putt 2,  a direct sequel to 2019 film Chal Mera Putt, is the story of  Punjabis trying hard to make a living in a foreign land.

The film , produced by Karaj Gill under Rhythm Boyz Entertainment and by Ashu Munish Sahni under Omjee Star Studios, stars Amrinder Gill, Simi Chahal, and Garry Sandhu in lead roles and Iftikhar Thakur, Nasir Chinyoti, Akram Udas, Zafri Khan, Gurshabad, Hardeep Gill, Nirmal Rishi, and Ruby Anam in supporting roles.
