Singh Vs Kaur 2 has collected ₹1.67 crore India net and ₹1.93 crore gross in six days, with the Gippy Grewal-Shehnaaz Gill starrer witnessing a sharp weekday slowdown after a modest opening weekend.
The much-awaited Punjabi sequel Singh Vs Kaur 2 has reached Day 6 at the box office, but the theatrical journey is proving considerably quieter than the buzz surrounding the return of the franchise.

Starring Gippy Grewal and Shehnaaz Gill, and directed by Navaniat Singh, the Punjabi comedy-romance released theatrically on September 11, 2026. According to the available six-day collection figures, the film has earned ₹1.67 crore net in India, while its reported India gross stands at ₹1.93 crore. Overseas collections are currently listed at ₹0.
The biggest concern is the film’s weekday trend.
After opening at ₹0.40 crore on Friday, Singh Vs Kaur 2 managed ₹0.45 crore on Saturday and ₹0.39 crore on Sunday. But Monday saw a steep fall to ₹0.14 crore, followed by a small recovery to ₹0.17 crore on Tuesday before dropping again to just ₹0.12 crore on Wednesday.
For a film carrying a recognizable franchise title and the combination of Gippy Grewal and Shehnaaz Gill, those numbers put considerable pressure on the second weekend.

Singh Vs Kaur 2 Box Office Collection Day Wise
The six-day trajectory tells the story clearly:
- Day 1 – Friday: ₹0.40 crore
- Day 2 – Saturday: ₹0.45 crore
- Day 3 – Sunday: ₹0.39 crore
- Day 4 – Monday: ₹0.14 crore
- Day 5 – Tuesday: ₹0.17 crore
- Day 6 – Wednesday: ₹0.12 crore
- Total India Net: ₹1.67 crore
- Total Gross: ₹1.93 crore
The opening weekend total comes to approximately ₹1.24 crore net.
That means the movie added only around ₹0.43 crore over the following three weekdays.
The weekend-to-weekday drop is therefore the most important warning sign at this stage.
Why the Weekend Did Not Explode
Singh Vs Kaur 2 arrived with several obvious commercial advantages.
The film brought back Gippy Grewal, a major name in Punjabi cinema, while adding Shehnaaz Gill as the female lead. The project also carried the Singh Vs Kaur franchise identity, with the first film having released back in 2013.
Pre-release publicity positioned the sequel as a broad commercial entertainer combining comedy, romance, action and emotion. Gippy Grewal had described that mixture as relatively unusual for Punjabi cinema, while Shehnaaz Gill spoke about the excitement of joining a franchise she had admired earlier.
Yet the theatrical response so far has not translated that promotional appeal into strong collections.
One possible reason is the film’s positioning.
The sequel attempts to move across several genres and locations, taking its characters from Punjab to Kolkata and eventually Canada. Shehnaaz Gill’s character Jasneet Kaur also has a Bengali background, giving the movie a wider cultural setting than the original. Gill said the role allowed her to explore different cultures, languages and personalities.
That ambition gives the film a larger canvas, but it also creates a risk: audiences expecting a straightforward Punjabi comedy may find the crime-action storyline a different proposition.
Shehnaaz Gill-Gippy Grewal Chemistry Was a Major Selling Point
Before release, the combination of Shehnaaz Gill and Gippy Grewal generated considerable curiosity.
This is their first collaboration, and Gill had spoken positively about working with Grewal. She also said she did not feel pressured by comparisons with the female character from the first Singh Vs Kaur, emphasizing that her Jasneet was a different character.
More recently, Gill discussed her professional equation with Grewal and recalled their positive working relationship during the making of the film.
That off-screen goodwill has helped maintain the film’s entertainment-news visibility.
But box office is ultimately determined by how many people turn that curiosity into theatre tickets.
So far, the conversion has been modest.
Reviews Are Divided — And That Could Matter
The critical response has not been uniform.
Some audience-facing reviews have praised the film as an entertainer built around comedy, romance and action. SeenTick gave it 3.5/5 and highlighted the lead performances and its commercial approach, although it also pointed to familiar storytelling and underused supporting characters.
BookMyShow’s user-review section also contains enthusiastic audience reactions, with viewers praising the Gippy-Shehnaaz combination, comedy and Punjabi flavour.
However, the international critical response has been much harsher.
Culture Mix criticized the film’s extended 155-minute runtime, comedy, action sequences and screenplay, arguing that the movie becomes increasingly chaotic as it moves into its crime storyline. Rotten Tomatoes currently lists that review among its critic responses.
This split is significant.
A commercial Punjabi film does not necessarily need universal critical acclaim to succeed. Strong audience word-of-mouth can overpower mixed reviews.
The problem for Singh Vs Kaur 2 is that its box-office numbers have not yet shown the kind of momentum usually associated with a major word-of-mouth breakout.
The Franchise Factor Has Not Fully Translated Into Numbers
The first Singh Vs Kaur created familiarity around the title, and bringing Navaniat Singh back behind the camera was clearly intended to retain some of that franchise identity.
However, the sequel is not simply repeating the original story.
The current film introduces Nehal, played by Gippy Grewal, who wants to improve his struggling Punjabi village in memory of his martyred father. His fish-farming business goes disastrously wrong when Jasneet disappears with the villagers’ money.
The story then expands into Kolkata and Canada, where the characters become entangled with a dangerous drug syndicate.
That makes Singh Vs Kaur 2 more of a comedy-action-adventure than a simple romantic comedy.
Whether that genre expansion works for the core audience could determine its long-term theatrical performance.
Day 6 Collection of ₹12 Lakh Raises the Second Weekend Stakes
The ₹0.12 crore Day 6 collection is currently the weakest day in the film’s reported six-day run.
That is the number the makers will be watching most closely.
The second Friday needs to show whether the film can stabilize before Saturday and Sunday. If the movie manages a substantial weekend jump, it can still improve its final theatrical total.
But if Friday remains close to the Wednesday level, the film could face a much shorter theatrical runway.
With the reported India net at ₹1.67 crore, the film would need approximately ₹1.33 crore more to reach ₹3 crore.
A ₹5 crore India net finish would require another ₹3.33 crore.
Those targets are not impossible, but the current weekday trajectory means the movie needs a meaningful second-weekend recovery rather than merely maintaining its existing pace.
What Happens Next?
The upcoming weekend is now effectively a box-office stress test for Singh Vs Kaur 2.
The film still has recognizable stars, a familiar franchise title, Punjabi-market appeal and the curiosity surrounding Shehnaaz Gill and Gippy Grewal’s pairing.
The biggest opportunity is word-of-mouth.
If audiences who enjoyed the comedy and chemistry bring friends and family to theatres over the weekend, the film could produce a late surge.
If that does not happen, the sharp weekday decline could become the defining trend of its theatrical run.
The absence of a disclosed budget also means that a final verdict should not be declared purely from the ₹1.67 crore net figure. Production cost, distribution deals, theatrical share and non-theatrical recoveries all influence profitability.
Singh Vs Kaur 2 Box Office Verdict: The Weekend Holds the Key
At the end of six days, Singh Vs Kaur 2 is facing a clear uphill box-office battle.
The movie opened at ₹0.40 crore, reached ₹0.45 crore on Saturday, slipped slightly to ₹0.39 crore on Sunday and then suffered a major weekday correction.
With ₹1.67 crore India net and ₹1.93 crore gross, the film has yet to establish the theatrical momentum expected from its star pairing and franchise recognition.
Still, the story is not finished.
Punjabi cinema has a strong audience base that can sometimes produce sharp weekend recoveries, particularly when comedy-driven films find family and group audiences.
The real question now is simple: Can Gippy Grewal and Shehnaaz Gill turn the second weekend into a box-office rescue mission?
Friday will provide the first clue. Saturday and Sunday could provide the answer.
