Bambukat 2, the Punjabi period drama starring Ammy Virk and Binnu Dhillon, is expected to make its OTT debut on Chaupal in late March or early April 2026 — following the same platform trail as the original Bambukat (2016), which currently streams on Chaupal. The film released in theatres on February 20, 2026, and has since generated exceptional word-of-mouth, sitting at an extraordinary 9.1 on IMDb. An official OTT announcement from the makers is yet to come.
When Is Bambukat 2 Releasing on OTT?
Bambukat 2’s OTT release date has not been officially confirmed as of now. Based on the standard 6–8 week theatrical window for Punjabi films and the production house’s established relationship with Chaupal, a streaming premiere in late March to early April 2026 is the expected timeline. The original Bambukat streams on Chaupal and Chaupal on Amazon Prime Video, making Chaupal the most likely digital home for the sequel as well.
The film is produced by Karaj Gill and Darshan Sharma under Rhythm Boyz Entertainment — the same banner that backed the first film’s digital run on Chaupal. An official OTT announcement is anticipated once the theatrical window concludes.

What Is Bambukat 2 About?
Bambukat 2 is a deliberate tonal departure from its predecessor. Where the original Bambukat (2016) was a light-hearted romantic comedy, the sequel arrives as a rich, emotionally textured period drama built around one man’s refusal to be diminished. Chanan Singh (Ammy Virk) returns as the central figure — a man for whom dignity is not negotiable — and his personal fight against indignity gradually scales into something larger: a people’s revolution rooted in class and self-respect.
Set against a period backdrop, the film traces how a deeply personal battle for honour becomes a collective uprising, with the climax earning particular praise from reviewers for its genuine thrills. Critics have called Bambukat 2 “a rare sequel that expands its universe meaningfully” — one that uses the emotional foundation of the first film to tell a bigger, bolder story without betraying the spirit of its characters.
Who Stars in Bambukat 2?
Ammy Virk leads the film as Chanan Singh, drawing widespread acclaim for a performance that balances confidence and vulnerability with precision. Simi Chahal brings emotional steadiness that anchors several key scenes, while Binnu Dhillon, Karamjit Anmol, and Gurpreet Ghuggi fill out the ensemble. Music by Jatinder Shah has been specifically singled out — described as “soul-stirring” in multiple reviews, contributing significantly to the film’s period atmosphere.
