Honsla Rakh has broken the $2 million barrier in Canada for the first time since the pandemic. There’s also Chal Mera Putt 2, which has grossed over $2 million, but some of the revenue was generated prior to the pandemic, whereas Honsla Rakh was released thereafter.
Honsla Rakh is currently the fourth highest-grossing Indian film in Canada. Padmaavat, Dangal, Chal Mera Putt 2, Honsla Rakh, and PK are the only five films to surpass the $2 million mark. Six Hindi films and four Punjabi films are among the top ten films in Canada.
Punjabi films have a major presence in the Canadian market, which is dominated by the Punjabi community. Diljit Dosanjh is the largest Indian star in Canada, according to the figures, with three films in the top 10 (Honsla Rakh, Good Newwz, and Shadaa), more than anybody else. Padmaavat takes the top spot with $2.8 million, over 30% more than Dangal, the next highest-grossing film. The top ten grossing films in Canada are listed below.
