Ishqan De Lekhe, the Punjabi romantic drama, opened to a modest start on its first day, collecting around ₹0.35 crore net in India. The film, released on March 6, 2026, drew audiences mainly in Punjab and select urban centers, supported by its lead stars’ popularity. Early reports suggested average occupancy in theaters, with positive word-of-mouth from family viewers helping it gain some traction despite limited buzz before release.
On day 2, early estimates indicate a slight uptick, with collections projected at ₹0.45 crore net in India. This represents a moderate Saturday jump, typical for regional films that rely on weekend family outings. Theater occupancy appears to hover around 18-20% in key areas like Chandigarh and Delhi, based on booking trends, showing steady interest but room for growth if reviews continue to favor it.
Overall, the film is showing a stable trend so far, without major drops or surges. With no big competing releases this weekend, Ishqan De Lekhe could build momentum through positive audience feedback. However, its performance in overseas markets remains minimal, and the coming weekdays will test its holding power.

About Ishqan De Lekhe and Future Prediction
Ishqan De Lekhe is a Punjabi film directed by Manvir Brar, featuring Gurnam Bhullar and Isha Malviya in lead roles. The story revolves around themes of love, relationships, and emotional challenges, blending romance with light drama. Produced on a moderate budget, it targets Punjabi-speaking audiences in India and abroad, with music and performances being key draws.
Early reception has been mixed but leaning positive, with viewers appreciating the chemistry between the leads and relatable storyline. Ratings on platforms like BookMyShow stand at around 7-8 out of 10, indicating decent appeal among its core demographic. However, competition from other regional releases could impact its run if word-of-mouth doesn’t spread wider.
Looking ahead, the film might aim for a lifetime net collection of ₹15-20 crore in India if it sustains over the first week. A strong weekend could push it toward profitability, given its ₹7 crore budget. Overseas earnings may pick up in diaspora hubs like Canada and the UK, but domestic performance will be crucial for overall success.
