Expectations were huge as the 2016 Bambukat was a massive blockbuster. Unfortunately, our hopes have come crashing down as it has made a poor start at the box office. Scroll below for the day 1 collection!<\/p>\n<p>Bambukat 2 Box Office Day 1 Collection<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to Sacnilk, Bambukat 2 earned only 50 lakh net at the Indian box office on day 1. There\u2019s little competition from Bebe Main Badmash Banuga, but the low pre-release buzz impacted the footfalls. Even Ammy Virk\u2019s last release, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.koimoi.com\/box-office\/nikka-zaildar-4-box-office-closing-collection-ammy-virk-delivers-another-success-rules-top-5-highest-grossing-films-of-2025\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Nikka Zaildar 4<\/a>, made an opening of 1 crore, so the earnings are highly underwhelming.<\/p>\n<p>Bambukat 2 vs Bambukat Box Office Day 1<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Back in 2016, the Punjabi period drama Bambukat made a promising opening in India, earning 1.48 crore. This means the sequel lagged by almost 66% in collection.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Pankaj Batra\u2019s OG directorial ranks among the highest-grossing Punjabi films of all time. If there isn\u2019t any growth during the first weekend, Simi Chahal and Binnu Dhillon co-starrer will emerge as one of the most disappointing sequels at the box office.<\/p>\n<p>To rely mainly on overseas run?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In recent times, we\u2019ve witnessed Punjabi films majorly relying on overseas circuits like Canada and Australia for box office success. Diljit Dosanjh\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.koimoi.com\/box-office\/sardaar-ji-3-box-office-rewrites-history-diljit-dosanjh-starrer-beats-jatt-juliet-3-to-become-1-punjabi-grosser-overseas\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sardaar Ji 3<\/a> is a recent big example.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Bambukat 2 has made a far better opening overseas, accumulating 1.80 crore gross. Combined with the domestic gross of 59 lakh, its worldwide opening has landed at 2.39 crore gross.<\/p>\n<p>Bambukat Box Office Day 1 Summary<\/p>\n<p>India net: 50 lakh<br \/>\nIndia gross: 59 lakh<br \/>\nOverseas gross: 1.80 crore<br \/>\nWorldwide gross: 2.39 crore<\/p>\n<p>More about Bambukat 2<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Directed by Pankaj Batra, Bambukat 2 features an ensemble cast of Ammy Virk, Simi Chahal, Binnu Dhillon, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.koimoi.com\/box-office\/guru-nanak-jahaz-box-office-collection-day-3-with-64-growth-gurpreet-ghuggis-film-becomes-7th-highest-grossing-punjabi-film-of-2025\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Gurpreet Ghuggi<\/a>, Karamjeet Anmol, Sardar Sohi, Malkeet Rauni, Anita Devgan, Hobby Dhaliwal, and Deedar Gill.
