Punjabi singer & actor Diljit Dosanjh starrer Sardaar Ji 3 is running successfully in overseas theaters. Despite the makers' decision not to release the Punjabi movie in India over the casting of Pakistani actress Hania Aamir in the movie, the movie is still witnessing a resounding response from fans overseas, especially in Pakistan. Directed by Amar Hundal, Sardaar Ji 3 is a horror comedy that features Diljit Dosanjh, Neeru Bajwan, and Hania Aamir in the key roles. The movie is the third installment of the hit movie Sardaar Ji 3.
Since the movie has not been released in India in theaters, fans are digging deep into Sardaar Ji 3 OTT details. Many are wondering whether Sardaar Ji 3 will release online, i.e., on a streaming platform in India, or not? Below is what you need to know-
Since the controversy is serious, the makers have not opened up about the Sardaar Ji 3 OTT release date or platform. Furthermore, seeing the boycott trend, no OTT platforms have dropped a single hint that it has acquired the rights to stream the movie online. It means, if at all, the makers decide to release the movie online after the completion of its theatrical run, it is highly unlikely that it will be accessible in India. Sardaar Ji 3 was released in theaters on June 27. Generally, a movie follows a 3-month rule before it starts streaming online. Hence, if the makers decide to release it online, it may gets released till September 2025. In the meantime, Sardaar Ji and Sardaar Ji 2 are streaming online on Chaupal.
As per Sacnilk report published on July 1, Sardaar Ji 3 collected approximately Rs 18.1 crore ($2.1+ million) in its first three-day weekend. This marks the second-biggest opening weekend for a Punjabi film ever, trailing only Jatt & Juliet 3, which also featured Diljit in the lead role. Breaking down the weekend earnings, the film grossed around Rs 4.30 crore on Friday, followed by Rs 6.75 crore on Saturday, and Rs 7 crore on Sunday. North America emerged as the film's biggest market, contributing approximately Rs 6.50 crore (around $760,000) to the weekend total.
Interestingly, Sardaar Ji 3 also set a new benchmark in Pakistan, registering the highest opening ever for an Indian film in the country. The movie earned nearly ₹3.85 crore (PKR 12.75 crore / $450,000) over the weekend, surpassing the previous 3-day weekend record held by Salman Khan's Sultan, which had opened with approximately PKR 11 crore back in 2016.
