Box office: Diljit Dosanjh-starrer Honsla Rakh holds well

After registering the highest opening for a Punjabi film [Rs2.55 crore nett], Honsla Rakh finished the weekend on a positive note by amassing Rs7.65 crore. 

Following this, the Diljit Dosanjh-starrer also passed the challenging Monday test as it earned Rs1.37 crore on the first day of the week, as per figures shared by BoxOfficeIndia.com. 

Generally, a film is expected to see a drop in numbers from Tuesday. In the case of the family comedy, it hasn’t been a significant one as the film made Rs1.28 crore in the day. 

The film’s grand total currently stands at an impressive Rs10.30 crore. Its collections in the second week starting on Friday will give clarity as to whether it will reach the Rs20 crore mark. 

Directed by Amarjit Singh Saron, Honsla Rakh also stars Sonam Bajwa and Shehnaaz Gill.

Honsla Rakh has also fared well in the overseas market, making $ 1.35 million in the first four days worldwide. As per the international publication Deadline.com, the movie made $706,000 in the first three days in the US itself.

Friday, 22 October, will see the reopening of Maharashtra's theatres, which have been shut since April this year due to the second wave of the coronavirus pandemic. The Pratik Gandhi-starrer Bhavai is the first movie to be released in the state on that day.
