Puaada recorded good weekend business of 2.50 crore nett with most of this coming from East Punjab. It was a limited release in East Punjab also with the release being mainly in the multiplexes of the big four cities (Chandigarh, Ludhiana, Amritsar and Jalandhar). The four cities contributed around 60% of the East Punjab business and all four saw excellent occupancy. 

The release of the film has held back the numbers but this coupled with good occupancy over the weekend should mean good holds over the weekdays. But its obvious a film cannot match the business it can potentially do in 175 theatres on 50 odd theatres. The theatre count did go up from 50 on day one to 59 on day four but that is still well short of normal.

The huge plus is the business from overseas which will come in close to $600K with United Kingdom doing phenomenally well as it collects almost £85k from just 26 theatres. The lifetime numbers in UK should cross £200k which were blockbuster numbers for a Punjabi film before the pandemic. The UK is doing well as far as covid19 goes but the theatrical collections have not been too good. Puaada will be the first film released in the UK be it from any industry to do business how films used to do before the pandemic. The nett collections of Puaada in India are as follows.
