Punjabi film 'Ikk Kudi' starring Shehnaaz Gill heads to OTT
Punjabi film Ikk Kudi, written and directed by Amarjit Singh Saron, is coming to OTT platform Chaupal on February 26.
The movie stars Shehnaaz Gill in a double role as both Simmi—a modern woman questioning her arranged marriage—and her grandmother Tejo, who falls in love back in the 1950s.
What's the story about?
Expect a mix of Punjabi humor, family support, and some real talk about patriarchy.
The story jumps between Simmi's present-day doubts and Tejo's old-school romance.
While critics gave mixed reviews to the writing, most agreed that Shehnaaz Gill's double act is the real highlight.
How did it fare with critics?
Reviews were mixed: A review gave it 3/5 for its take on pre-wedding jitters and praised Gill's performance.
Some reviewers loved her energy and Nirmal Rishi's comic timing but felt the film lost momentum midway.
Most agree—Gill playing two generations is what makes this one stand out.
