‘Saunkan Saunkne’ Box office update: The movie beats the collection of Diljit Dosanjh’s ‘Shadaa’ – Times of India

The Ammy Virk, Sargun Mehta and Nimrat Khaira starrer ‘Saunkan Saunkne’ has set a new high for Punjabi movies. The Amarjit Singh Saron directorial has collected almost Rs.9.25 crore over the first weekend, according to the Box Office India report. With these numbers, the movie has broken the record of Diljit Dosanjh’s 2019 released film ‘Shadaa’, which collected Rs.9.08 crore in the first weekend.
