Punjabi actress and singer Shehnaaz Gill’s latest film Ikk Kudi has managed to draw attention at the box office with its highly positive trend. While the film’s overall numbers remain modest, its steady growth both in India and overseas markets has given it a chance to achieve a respectable total by the end of its theatrical run.
Consistent Growth During the Second Weekend
After a decent opening, Ikk Kudi showcased solid momentum during its second weekend. The film grossed around ₹3.50 crore globally between Friday and Sunday. Interestingly, both the domestic and international markets saw nearly double the earnings of the first weekend, a strong sign of sustained interest from audiences.
In India, the film maintained its previous weekend’s numbers on its second Sunday, indicating good word-of-mouth support.

Positive Trend Gives Hope Despite Low Domestic Numbers
Although Ikk Kudi is performing better internationally, the domestic numbers remain relatively low. However, the positive growth trend across all territories gives the film a real shot at ending its run respectably. If this momentum continues for the next couple of weeks, it could emerge as one of the better-performing Punjabi films of 2025.
This comes as welcome news for the Punjabi film industry, which has faced a tough year with limited theatrical successes in India.
A Difficult Year for Punjabi Cinema
2025 has so far been a challenging year for Punjabi films, particularly in the domestic circuit. While a few Punjabi releases performed strongly overseas, two of them didn’t get Indian theatrical releases, and the third underperformed in India. Against this backdrop, Ikk Kudi’s overseas success brings some much-needed positivity to the industry.
Shehnaaz Gill’s Growing Popularity Boosts the Film
The film’s performance is also being attributed to Shehnaaz Gill’s rising fan base across India and abroad. Her growing popularity post-Bigg Boss and her connect with Punjabi audiences have played a significant role in sustaining the film’s momentum.
Directed with a focus on emotional storytelling and strong music, Ikk Kudi has found appreciation among diaspora audiences, particularly in Canada, Australia, and the UK, where Punjabi films traditionally perform well.
