Ishqa'n De Lekhe (2026)

Ishqa'n De Lekhe feels like the kind of big-hearted Punjabi romance that doesn’t just tell you love is powerful—it sings it, letting music and emotion do the heavy lifting in all the right moments. Manvir Brar directs with a crowd-pleasing sweep, giving the college-world energy a pulse while keeping the feelings intimate, and Gurnam Bhullar and Isha Malviya share the kind of chemistry that makes glances and silences land as hard as dialogue. The vibe is lush, earnest, and dramatic in the best way, building from youthful charm into something more tender and aching without leaning on cheap tricks. If you prefer cynical love stories, this one may feel unabashedly sincere—but if you’re in the mood for a romantic drama that wears its heart on its sleeve and lets the songs carry you, it’s an easy ticket to buy.

Ishqa'n De Lekhe is clearly aiming for big, old-school Punjabi romance with music doing a lot of the emotional heavy lifting, and it wants you to feel every heartbeat of first love and heartbreak. The problem is it leans hard on familiar college-politics melodrama and a misunderstanding-driven plot, so if you’re allergic to “if they just talked for five minutes” conflicts, you may find it more frustrating than moving. Gurnam Bhullar brings charm and screen presence, and the film’s best moments are when it slows down and lets the chemistry and songs breathe. If you want a grounded, nuanced love story, this might feel like a glossy tearjerker; if you’re in the mood for heightened emotions, tragic turns, and romance-as-destiny, it’ll likely hit the spot.
