Saunkan Saunkanay 2 Crosses 50% ROI, Becomes Top Punjabi Film of 2025
Ammy Virk starrer records ₹15.46 crore India net in 14 days, sets new benchmark for Punjabi comedies in 2025.
SAUNKAN SAUNKANAY 2 is setting the Punjabi box office ablaze two weeks post-release. Directed by Smeep Kang and starring Ammy Virk, Sargun Mehta, and Nimrat Khaira, this laughter-packed sequel has already reclaimed more than half of its ₹10 crore budget, cementing its position as a top performer in 2025.
Day 14 Collection And India Net Total
As per early estimates from Sacnilk, the film earned ₹28 lakh on its 14th day — a mild 17% dip from Day 13’s ₹34 lakh — bringing its total India net revenue to ₹15.46 crore. Considering its strong weekend holds and weekday resilience, the movie is expected to inch close to ₹16 crore domestically, though it may fall short of the ₹20 crore mark.
Returns And Return On Investment (ROI)
Made on a budget of approximately ₹10 crore (including P&A), Saunkan Saunkanay 2 has comfortably achieved a theatrical ROI of ₹5.46 crore — a 54% return — from its Indian net earnings alone . This significant milestone confirms a robust bottom-line performance within 14 days of release.
Domestic vs. Overseas Earnings
The film isn’t just about winning at home. According to Sacnilk data, the overseas box office has pulled in ₹11.5 crore. Including taxes, the India gross stands at ₹18.24 crore, taking the global tally to ₹29.74 crore. Such figures place the film firmly as the highest-grossing Punjabi release of 2025, outpacing contemporaries like Akaal
Saunkan Saunkanay 2 Box Office Momentum: Weekly Breakdown
Over its first two weeks, Saunkan Saunkanay 2 has managed consistent box office traction:
- Week 1 net: ₹11.4 crore
- Week 2 daily nets: ₹60 lakh on Friday, ₹85 lakh Saturday, ₹1.05 crore Sunday, followed by ₹41 lakh, ₹53 lakh, ₹34 lakh, and ₹26 lakh from Monday to Thursday .
Even with the typical weekday slump, the film’s holding power highlights strong word-of-mouth despite midweek dips.
Cultural Context And Comparisons
This sequel’s performance adds a fresh flourish to “Punjwood”—punjabi cinema’s rising star in Indian pop culture. It already ranked among the Top Punjabi Film Openings of 2025, with ₹2.15 crore on Day 1, followed by ₹2.35 crore and ₹3 crore through the weekend . These numbers place it ahead of older hits like Akaal, confirming its crossover appeal among family audiences.
Why Is It Resonating?
The reasons behind the film’s success are layered:
Star Chemistry & Comic Timing: The trio of Ammy, Sargun, and Nimrat bring energetic performances, exaggerated comedic antics, and lighthearted banter — exactly what the Punjabi audience craves in a family comedy.
Genre Appeal: Clean, slapstick comedy remains the backbone of mainstream Punjabi releases. Here, the double‑wife premise and village setting deliver just the right dose of humor.
Sequel Advantage: While sequels often fall flat, this follow-up capitalizes on the nostalgia of its 2022 predecessor without overextending. Audience familiarity with the characters works in its favour.
Outlook Ahead
With two weeks behind it, Saunkan Saunkanay 2 appears likely to wrap up its domestic theatrical run just shy of ₹20 crore, while the global tally should hover around ₹30 crore. That level of return reflects both commercial success and regional relevance, elevating Punjabi cinema on the national landscape.
