The Punjabi romantic drama Ishqan De Lekhe has been drawing audiences with its heartfelt story since hitting theaters on March 6. After a modest opening on Day 1, the film showed some improvement on its second day thanks to positive feedback from viewers. Early estimates for Day 3 indicate a further uptick as weekend crowds head to cinemas in key markets like Punjab.
On Saturday, the movie maintained momentum with collections reflecting growing interest among families and fans of the lead stars. Word of mouth appears to be helping the film, even as overall occupancy remains moderate in most theaters. This trend is encouraging for a content-driven regional film in a competitive landscape.
Early estimates for Day 3 (Sunday) suggest the collections are holding well or seeing a small growth. Theatre bookings are picking up in select areas, pointing to the potential benefit from positive reviews and the star power of Gurnam Bhullar and Isha Malviya.

About Ishqan De Lekhe and Future Prediction
Ishqan De Lekhe tells the story of Samar, a charismatic college political leader, who falls in love with the reserved Jasneet. Their relationship faces challenges from jealousy and misunderstandings caused by political rivals and past connections. The film explores themes of love, trust, and tragedy in a way that feels relatable to many viewers.
Starring Gurnam Bhullar in the lead role alongside Isha Malviya, the movie is directed by Manvir Brar. The performances, chemistry between the leads, and emotional narrative have received good response from audiences who have watched it so far. The music also adds to the film’s charm.
Looking at the future, Ishqan De Lekhe needs strong legs and continued positive word-of-mouth to do well. With a budget of ₹7 crore, the film has a chance to recover costs if it performs steadily in single screens and NRI markets over the next few weeks. Sunday and the first week will be important to determine its overall success at the box office.
