Raj Kundra has brought a new surprise to Punjabi cinema this year. After coming into the limelight on the reality show 'The Traitors,' Shilpa Shetty's husband, Raj, made his Pollywood debut on the big screen with the film 'Mehar.'

Despite the terrible floods in the state, the film received a good response on the day of its release. But a big goal has been missed.

Raj Kundra's debut could not enter the top 10 Punjabi 2025 openers

On September 5, the first day of the Indian box office collection, it was about ₹26 lakh, which is not a bad start. But it would have been more respectable if it had entered the list of 'Top 10' openers of Punjabi films of 2025. 'Shaunki Sardar,' which is at the tenth position in this list, earned ₹32 lakh on its opening day. Unfortunately, 'Mehar' could not make it.

Meher highlights a silent fight to save a father's honour

Mehar, depicting a silent struggle to save a father's honour, is directed by Rakesh Mehta and stars Raj Kundra and Geeta Basra. The story revolves around Karamjit, a father from a village in Punjab, who embarks on a powerful journey of second chances. Along the way, he encounters various life challenges as he pursues a family reunion. And that is what this story is about.

'Mehar' is likely an attempt to change Raj Kundra's image

Raj Kundra, fresh off his time on 'The Traitors,' says the show helped him reconnect with fans. Right after that, he jumped into a hero role in a Punjabi movie called 'Mehar.' But the film is making news for more than just his acting. Raj announced on social media that he will donate all the first day's earnings from 'Mehar' worldwide to help people in Punjab affected by floods. Many fans praised his decision online.
