Puaada has done excellent business in Overseas and if the film did not have restrictions in Canada and Australia had been normal it would have easily been the biggest opening for an Ammy Virk starrer and this is a film which is the first release post the pandemic.
The film is a record opener for Ammy Virk in the United Kingdom and New Zealand. In the United Kingdom it is the fifth highest opening Punjabi film ever with £84k. Going by the New Zealand numbers you can take Australia fair value to be around at least $175k but it only did $62k due to the country being hit by covid19. There were restrictions in Canada and it probably lost $75k there but still managed a huge $275k.
Puaada has grossed $575k across all international markets and this would have been around $750-800k if all was normal. But what Puaada proves is that the audience will return if the content is there as far as the international markets goes though depending on the covid19 situation. If your film is catering mainly to the Australian market and releases now then obviously it will suffer. The film grossed over 7 crore worldwide with over 4 crore coming from Overseas.
Below are the top openers of Ammy Virk in overseas. Puaada did have four days but if we take three days and assume a normal Australia and Canada it would still be the top Ammy Virk opener beating Nikka Zaildaar 2.
