The most controversial and debated film of the year Udta Punjab directed by Abhishek Chaubey released on June 17 and it has managed to establish an emotional connect with the audiences on Day One. The movie got off to a flying start at the box office, specially in North India (Delhi, Punjab), and has minted Rs. 10.05 cr. on the first day of its release. On day two the collections saw a growth of 11.94 %.

On Saturday, the film earned Rs 11.25 cr., making the total collections of the film Rs 21.30 cr.

Going by the day one collections, the film secured the fifth position in the list of movies with highest opening day collections of 2016 after Shah Rukh Khan’s Fan being at number 1, Housefull 3 at number 2, Airlift at number 3 and Baaghi at number 4. Udta Punjab stars Shahid Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Kareena Kapoor and Diljit Dosanjh in lead roles.

Every viewer we spoke to unanimously opined that the controversy generated by the CBFC had made them curious to catch the film as soon as possible. While adverse reactions were literally nil, a couple of viewers did make it a point to note that the usage of Punjabi in a Hindi film should have been kept minimal.
