Ishqan De Lekhe, the Punjabi romantic drama starring Gurnam Bhullar and Isha Malviya, released in cinemas on March 6, 2026, and has since emerged as one of the most talked-about Pollywood films of the year. With a strong box office run, an emotionally gripping story, and a breakout soundtrack, the film now has audiences asking one question: when does Ishqan De Lekhe arrive on OTT?
What Is the Ishqan De Lekhe OTT Release Date?
The official Ishqan De Lekhe OTT release date has not been confirmed by the makers or any streaming platform as of March 2026. The film is currently in its active theatrical run and no digital premiere announcement has been made yet. Based on the standard Punjabi film OTT window of six to eight weeks post-theatrical release, Ishqan De Lekhe is expected to land on a streaming platform sometime in late April to early May 2026.
The timeline could shift slightly depending on how the film performs in its third week, as competition from Dhurandhar: The Revenge may affect its screen count. Either way, fans who missed it in theatres will not have long to wait.
Where Can You Watch Ishqan De Lekhe Online?
No streaming platform has officially acquired the Ishqan De Lekhe digital rights as of this writing. Industry patterns and the film’s production house suggest it is likely to land on either Zee5 or Amazon Prime Video, both of which have a strong track record with Punjabi film premieres. Once the official platform is announced, we will update this article with the confirmed details. Until then, the only legitimate way to watch the film is in cinemas.
What Is Ishqan De Lekhe About?
Directed by Manvir Brar and written by Jassi Lohka, Ishqan De Lekhe — which roughly translates to The Accounts of Love — is a college love story with real emotional depth. Gurnam Bhullar plays Samar, a charismatic and popular campus leader who falls deeply in love with the quiet, reserved Jasneet, played by Isha Malviya in her Punjabi film debut. Their relationship blossoms beautifully but is soon tested by jealousy, political rivalry, and dangerous misunderstandings. Just as the truth is about to surface, tragedy strikes — and their love is forced to fight for survival.
What sets the film apart from a standard romance is its willingness to weave in social issues organically, without ever feeling preachy. Produced by Diamond Star Worldwide, the film has a runtime of 2 hours and 23 minutes and is entirely in Punjabi.
Who Stars in Ishqan De Lekhe?
Gurnam Bhullar, one of Punjabi cinema’s most celebrated singer-actors known for films like Qismat and Rose Rosy Te Gulab, leads the film with a performance that has drawn widespread praise. His portrayal of Samar is layered and emotionally convincing, carrying the film’s most gut-wrenching moments with ease.
Isha Malviya, widely recognised from the TV serial Udaariyaan and Bigg Boss 17, marks her Punjabi big-screen debut here — and it is a remarkable one. Her chemistry with Bhullar feels lived-in rather than performed, and her portrayal of Jasneet brings a quiet intensity that makes the character genuinely memorable. The supporting cast includes Rana Ranbir, Gurleen Chopra, Raghavv Bbhanot, and Arshdeep Kaur Bhatti.
How Has Ishqan De Lekhe Performed at the Box Office?
Ishqan De Lekhe is on course to be declared a HIT at the Indian box office. The film crossed ₹15 crore worldwide in its first ten days, which is a strong result for a Punjabi film made on an estimated budget of ₹7 crore. Its second weekend saw collections jump 85 percent over the opening weekend, a rare feat that signals genuine word-of-mouth momentum.
Notably, the film has outperformed expectations outside Punjab, with strong numbers coming from Delhi, Haryana, and Rajasthan — a sign that its romantic genre has broader appeal compared to the action and comedy films that typically anchor Punjabi box office. The standout track “Mohabbat”, performed by B Praak with music by Avvy Sra and Gurnam Bhullar, has been a key driver of the film’s buzz and repeat viewership.
With its OTT release approaching, Ishqan De Lekhe is set to reach an even larger audience across India and among Punjabi NRI communities in Canada, the UK, the USA, and Australia. Keep watching this space for the confirmed platform and streaming date.
