Mastaney Box Office Collection Day 3: The Punjabi film tilted 'Mastaney' has soared to blockbuster status, experiencing a significant surge in revenue on its third day, building upon an already strong initial reception. The historical drama, centred around a devotional theme, garnered an impressive Rs 3.60 crore on Sunday, resulting in a cumulative total of Rs 9 crore over a span of three days. Continued growth in earnings is anticipated for today, raising expectations for a three-day weekend collection that could surpass the Rs 10 crore mark.
Improved conditions for movie screenings could have potentially led to even more remarkable numbers, considering that various theatres in the Punjab area are constrained by their screening capacity due to sharing screens with recently released films such as 'Dream Girl 2,' 'Gadar 2,' and 'OMG 2' from the preceding lineup.
The issue is especially evident in significant centres like Chandigarh and Ludhiana, where Hindi films usually take precedence on the big screens. In these regions, the film doesn't match up to the performance of 'Carry on Jatta 3.' Nevertheless, in smaller towns where Hindi films have a smaller presence, 'Mastaney' succeeded in achieving figures more akin to those of 'Carry on Jatta 3.'

Due to its focus on Sikh history, 'Mastaney' is drawing an atypical crowd to theatres, and under such circumstances, the film's success can be uncertain. Several years ago, 'Chaar Sahibzade' had become the highest-grossing Punjabi film, despite beginning with humble beginnings. In contrast, 'Mastaney' has begun its journey with a strong and promising beginning.
The film is also enjoying immense success in global markets, establishing numerous achievements. In Australia, it garnered AUD $325,000 on Saturday, breaking the record for the highest single-day earnings for Punjabi films. The weekend proceeds in Australia are predicted to exceed AUD $800,000, easily surpassing the AUD $511,000 record set by 'Carry on Jatta 3' merely two months earlier. The overall weekend collection is anticipated to fall within the range of $1.75 million.
