Yeah, he’s given two big hits with them,” Poonam Dhillon told the Free Press Journal, referring to Zoya Akhtar’s 2015 family drama Dil Dhadakne Do and the 2019 coming-of-age …

He is responsible and committed to his work, and we have seen that through his body of work.” She added: “As far as I know, he …

I met her a short while ago and we had plans, things that we wanted to do together. She lived a beautiful, satisfying life. She was one person who was everyone’s idol, be it actors or singers. We were blessed she sang for us. I have lost my mother for the second time today. She gave me Tu Tu Hai Wahi that has been the hallmark of my popularity.

Bambukat 2 Box Office Collections: Ammy Virk and Binnu Dhillon film gross Rs. 8.50 Cr. in first weekend worldwide

Published by Parlour News

Bambukat 2 wrapped its opening weekend with Rs. 8.50 crore approx worldwide. The domestic and overseas split for the film stands at Rs. 2.40 crore (Rs. 2 crore nett) and Rs. 6.10 crore (USD 675K) respectively. Compared to the other recent Ammy Virk films, the opening weekend is below Saunkan Saunkanay 2 (Rs. 15 crore) and Sarbala (Rs. 11.25 crore). The overseas performance ranges from so-so to good. The good being Canada, which was on par with Sarbala and better than Saunkan Saunkanay 2. Had Canada not delivered, it would have been a total lost cause, but now Canada has given it some numbers to go with. The main disappointment came in India, where the film has not done well. The original Bambukat was a blockbuster in 2016, which opened to bumper numbers and then trended superbly. Considering how comedy sequels do well, one would have expected triple the numbers it has done. The trend over the weekend is also quite mediocre, with Sunday not growing as much as it could have. The Box Office …

Published by Parlour News

Bambukat 2 collected Rs. 80-85 lakh (Rs. 65-70 lakh nett) approx on its second day at the Indian box office, which brings its 2-day total to Rs. 1.40 crore (Rs. 1.15 crore nett) approx. There was a 40 per cent growth in business, which is good, but the business remains at low levels. There should be a big growth today, as Punjabi films do strongly on Sundays, and since the business is at a low level, the growth in percentage could turn out to be particularly big. Overseas, the film is faring comparatively better, especially in Canada. There, it is outperforming Saunkan Saunkanay 2, the highest-grossing Punjabi film domestically over the past two years. The two-day overseas box office gross stands at USD 475K (Rs. 4.35 crore) approx, giving the film a worldwide box office gross of Rs. 5.75 crore approx. Led by Ammy Virk and Binnu Dhillon, the film is now eyeing a weekend total in the range of Rs. 9-9.50 crore approx. The Punjabi film box office in India has fallen off from the highs of the 2010s, …

Published by Parlour News

Punjabi film Bambukat 2 had a dismal opening at the Indian box office, collecting Rs. 55 lakh gross (Rs. 45 lakh nett) approx on its first day. Overseas was a slightly better, where it earned USD 200K (Rs. 1.85 crore) approx, giving it a worldwide first day number of nearly Rs. 2.50 crore. Starring Ammy Virk and Binoo Dhillon, Bambukat 2 is the sequel to the 2016 blockbuster, Bambukat. The original film had a bumper opening of Rs. 1.60 crore (Rs. 1.48 crore nett) in India, registering the fourth biggest opening ever for a Punjabi film at the time. In comparison, the sequel has managed less than half of that figure, closer to a third, in fact, which is undeniably disappointing.  The Punjabi film box office in India has fallen off from the highs of the 2010s, when the business was growing and sort of peaked towards the end of the decade. The quality of films aside, one of the major driving factors is demographic change. A sustained wave of emigration in the late 2010s …
