Shehnaaz Gill's 'Ikk Kudi' hits ₹14cr worldwide—Punjabi cinema gets a win
Ikk Kudi, a Punjabi drama directed by Amarjit Singh Saron and led by Shehnaaz Gill, has quietly become a 2025 success story.
After 20 days, it's earned ₹13.25-14.25 crore globally—₹5.25 crore from India and ₹8-9 crore from overseas markets including Canada, the US, Australia-New Zealand, and the UK.
In a tough year for regional films, this one stands out.
In numbers:
The film saw collections jump about 27% on its 17th day and even doubled earnings during its second weekend before dropping off in week three.
It's already recovered more than 80% of its ₹5 crore budget.
Should you watch it?
If you're looking for an honest story with heartfelt performances (and Shehnaaz Gill at her best), Ikk Kudi is worth your time.
It's a rare bright spot for Punjabi cinema in 2025 and also features Sukhi Chahal, Baljinder Darapuri, Nirmal Rishi, and Gurjazz.
