Punjabi horror-comedy Sardaar Ji 3, starring Diljit Dosanjh, Neeru Bajwa, and Hania Aamir, hit theaters internationally on June 27, 2025.
The film didn't release in India due to political tensions after the Pahalgam attack but still made waves abroad—especially in Pakistan.

TL;DR

'Sardaar Ji 3' makes waves in Pakistan

With a ban in India called by the Federation of Western India Cine Employees, producers focused on global markets.
The move paid off: Sardaar Ji 3 pulled in around $500,000 (over ₹3.5 crore) on its first day in Pakistan—the highest opening ever for an Indian film there.
Social media buzz showed packed cinemas and excited fans cheering on the cast despite the cross-border drama.
