Ardaas Sarbat De Bhale Di has been performing impressively at the box office worldwide over the past 19 days. Currently, the film needs to collect just 5.08 crores more to secure its spot as the 9th highest-grossing Punjabi film of all time. The question remains: will it achieve this milestone?
With consistent audience support and favorable reviews, there’s a strong possibility the movie will continue its successful run and hit this target in the coming days. However, competition from new releases and the general market trend may impact its trajectory. Only time will tell if Ardaas Sarbat De Bhale Di can make its mark in the top 10.
Ardaas Sarbat De Bhale Di: A Box Office Journey Nearing the Top 10
Ardaas Sarbat De Bhale Di, featuring Gippy Grewal, Gurpreet Ghuggi, and Jasmin Bhasin, has turned out to be a major global success. As the film approaches its 40-crore mark worldwide, it has already claimed a prominent spot in the Punjabi cinema history books. Despite being produced on a modest budget, the film has exceeded expectations and has now entered the list of the highest-grossing Punjabi films of all time. After 19 days at the box office, the film is just a few crores away from securing a higher position, but can it manage to climb the ranks?
A Franchise Built on Success
The Ardaas journey began back in 2016, when the first film in the series was released. The original Ardaas was a critical and commercial triumph, resonating with audiences not only for its heartwarming narrative but also for its cultural relevance. Directed by Gippy Grewal, the film struck a chord with viewers, leading to the development of a much-anticipated sequel.
In 2019, the Ardaas team returned with Ardaas Karaan, which continued the story and managed to recreate the magic of the first installment. Like its predecessor, Ardaas Karaan was a huge success, both critically and commercially, expanding the franchise’s reputation on a global scale.
Fast forward to September 13, 2024, and Gippy Grewal and Gurpreet Ghuggi returned for the third installment, Ardaas Sarbat De Bhale Di, often referred to as Ardaas 3. This time around, the success was even greater. Thanks to the goodwill generated by the franchise and a strong word-of-mouth campaign, the film has been performing brilliantly at the box office, both in India and overseas markets.
A Global Box Office Success
Ardaas Sarbat De Bhale Di has achieved notable success on the global stage, with its collections nearing the impressive 40-crore mark. The film recently surpassed Sardaarji (which earned 38.50 crores gross) to claim the 10th spot among the highest-grossing Indian Punjabi films of all time. It now faces the challenge of climbing one more spot to make it into the top 9, which would require a gross collection of 45 crores.
With the film’s 19-day run at the box office, it has garnered 13.50 crores net in the Indian market, which translates to 15.93 crores gross. This in itself is a remarkable feat, but what truly sets Ardaas Sarbat De Bhale Di apart is its performance in the overseas markets. The film has collected 24 crores gross internationally, with strong support from countries like Canada, where the Punjabi film industry continues to thrive.
Combining both Indian and overseas earnings, the worldwide box office total for Ardaas Sarbat De Bhale Di stands at an impressive 39.93 crores gross.
Chasing the Top 9: Can Ardaas Make History?
To enter the top 9 list of the highest-grossing Indian Punjabi films globally, Ardaas Sarbat De Bhale Di needs to surpass the earnings of Chaar Sahibzaade, which grossed 45 crores worldwide. This means the film needs to generate an additional 5.08 crores. While the goal seems within reach, there are growing concerns about whether the film will be able to cross this final hurdle.
The film’s collections have slowed down in recent days, particularly in India. After a decent jump in night shows on the 19th day, the film added 0.30 crores to its total on the third Tuesday, following a 0.23 crore collection on the third Monday. While this gradual slowdown is common after an initial burst of success, it casts doubt on whether Ardaas Sarbat De Bhale Di will be able to generate the remaining revenue necessary to make it to the 9th position.
Despite the decline, the film continues to be a commercial success, and with the continued support from international markets, it’s possible that Ardaas Sarbat De Bhale Di could still pull off a surprise. However, the window for achieving this milestone is narrowing as new films enter the market, potentially drawing audiences away from the cinema.
The Power of the Ardaas Franchise
One of the main reasons behind the success of Ardaas Sarbat De Bhale Di is the goodwill earned by the franchise over the years. Gippy Grewal’s directorial vision, coupled with strong performances from a stellar cast, has created a loyal fanbase for the Ardaas films. Each installment has been able to build on the themes of community, family, and spirituality, which resonate deeply with Punjabi audiences around the world.
Moreover, the positive word-of-mouth surrounding Ardaas Sarbat De Bhale Di has played a crucial role in its box office success. Audiences have praised the film’s emotional depth, engaging narrative, and the powerful messages it conveys, making it a must-watch for fans of Punjabi cinema.
The global appeal of the film can also be attributed to its strong cultural connections. Punjabi diaspora communities in Canada, the UK, and the US have shown consistent support for the film, contributing significantly to its overseas collections.
What’s Next for the Franchise?
With Ardaas Sarbat De Bhale Di already performing well at the box office, the question arises: what’s next for the Ardaas franchise? Given the success of the first three films, it wouldn’t be surprising if Gippy Grewal and his team decide to continue the series with a fourth installment. If a new chapter in the Ardaas saga is announced, it could further strengthen the franchise’s position in Punjabi cinema history.
For now, though, the focus remains on whether Ardaas Sarbat De Bhale Di will manage to collect the remaining 5.08 crores and claim the 9th spot among the highest-grossing Indian Punjabi films. The journey may be slowing down, but the film has already left a lasting impact on audiences and the box office alike.
Conclusion: A Triumph in Punjabi Cinema
Regardless of whether it reaches the 9th spot, Ardaas Sarbat De Bhale Di has already secured its place as one of the top-grossing Punjabi films of all time. Its success underscores the growing influence and reach of Punjabi cinema on the global stage. With strong performances, meaningful storytelling, and a devoted fanbase, the Ardaas franchise continues to be a shining example of what Punjabi cinema can achieve.
As we await the final numbers, one thing is clear: Ardaas Sarbat De Bhale Di has further cemented its legacy in the annals of Punjabi cinema, proving that heartfelt stories, when done right, can resonate with audiences far and wide.
