Honsla Rakh had grossed over Rs 5 cr worldwide on its opening day on Friday,  surpassing the collections of Bollywood films like Bell Bottom,  which had earned slightly less despite being released on double the number of screens worldwide.

While Honsla Rakh was released on roughly 700 screens across the world,  Bell Bottom was released on nearly 1500 screens worldwide.

Trade sources feel that given the craze for Honsla Rakh,  the film could see a jump in its collections on Sunday and could well cross the figure of Rs 8 cf from across India in its opening weekend.

A romantic comedy,  Honsla Rakh,  set in Canada,  is the story of a divorced father who raises his son on his own.

Directed by Amarjit Singh Saron and produced by Diljit Dosanjh, Honsla Rakh stars Diljit Dosanjh, Sonam Bajwa and Shehnaz Gill in lead roles.

Honsla Rakh marks the debut of Diljit Dosanjhnas a producer.

It continues the trend of a strong run by Punjabi films at the box office amid an average run of Bollywood films Bell Bottom and Chehre and the multilingual film Thalaivii.

Punjabi films Puaada,  Chal Mera Putt 2 , Yaar Anmulle Returns and Qismat 2 have been rocking the box office in India even as the Covid restrictions in theatres and closure of cinema halls in Maharashtra impact theatrical revenues of Bollywood films .

Punjabi film Yaar Anmulle Returns recorded a decent run at the box office in India,  earning Rs 1.5 cr in its opening week despite the film releasing on limited screens in Delhi and Punjab.

The comedy film Chal Mera Putt 2  too had an above average run at the box office,  earning Rs 15 cr in four weeks , despite its release being limited to cinema halls in Delhi and Punjab.

Chal Mera Putt 2 has already created a record for the highest collections of a Punjabi film in the overseas markets at 4 Million US Dollars.

Earlier,  Punjabi film Puaada earned Rs 7.6 cr in gross revenues at the end of its third weekend in India.  The film has grossed Rs 8.6 cr in the overseas markets,  Including Canada , the United States and the United Kingdom at end of its third weekend,  taking its worldwide gross to Rs 16.2 cr.
