Box Office Report: ‘Viyaah Kartaare Da’ Shows Steady Performance in Opening Week

CHANDIGARH – The highly anticipated Punjabi comedy ‘Viyaah Kartaare Da’, starring Gippy Grewal and Nimrat Khaira, has completed its first five days at the box office with a steady performance. Released on February 27, 2026, the film marks a significant collaboration between Humble Motion Pictures and Dharma Productions, bringing together a powerhouse of talent under the direction of comedy specialist Smeep Kang.

The Numbers: A Five-Day Breakdown

Since its Friday opening, the film has maintained a consistent graph, particularly showing resilience during the weekdays. As of Tuesday evening, the domestic net collection stands at approximately ₹2.48 Crore.

With a gross collection reaching nearly ₹2.92 Crore (including taxes), the film has recovered about 25% of its estimated ₹10 Crore budget through Indian theatrical sales alone.

Audience Reception and Market Dynamics

While the film faced a competitive box office landscape—most notably from the release of ‘Bambukat 2’—it has managed to carve out a loyal audience. On popular ticketing platforms like BookMyShow, the movie enjoys a high audience rating of 9.4/10, indicating strong word-of-mouth.

The story, featuring Gippy Grewal as “Kartar,” follows a hilariously chaotic plot involving a faked death to secure a police job. Supporting performances from Prince Kanwaljit Singh and Gurpreet Ghuggi have been praised for their impeccable comic timing.

Trade Outlook

Trade analysts suggest that while the opening was modest compared to some of Gippy Grewal’s previous blockbusters, the slight jump on Tuesday (Day 5) is a positive sign. For the film to achieve “Hit” status, it will need to maintain its momentum into the second weekend and perform strongly in overseas markets like the UK, Canada, and Australia, where Punjabi cinema traditionally sees high engagement.
