Ishqnama Box Office Flop: 9 Cr Deficit Looms
19 Aug
Summary
- Ishqnama faces a significant box office deficit of over 9 crore.
- The film's budget recovery stands at a mere 57% after 26 days.
- It will not surpass Ishqan De Lekhe to enter top Punjabi films.
The Punjabi film Ishqnama is poised to conclude its theatrical run as a financial disappointment. After 26 days, the romantic period drama has accumulated a net collection of 11.48 crore in India against its reported budget of 20 crore. This performance indicates a budget recovery rate of only 57%, forecasting a deficit exceeding 9 crore for the film.
Despite an initially promising start, Ishqnama failed to maintain its momentum. It has narrowly missed the opportunity to rank among the top 3 highest-grossing Punjabi films of 2026, needing an additional 41 lakh to surpass Ishqan De Lekhe's 11.89 crore collection. Even a potential boost during its fifth weekend is unlikely to bridge this gap.
