The Shehnaaz Gill‑Jai Randhawa film Ishqnama has recovered 47% of its production cost in its first fortnight, according to box‑office figures released by IMDb.
Shehnaaz Gill and Jai Randhawa’s romantic drama Ishqnama hit the screens on 12 September, marking the duo’s first collaboration after their successful reality show stint. The film, produced by XYZ Studios, was marketed as a light‑hearted love story aimed at the youth demographic.
According to box‑office data released by IMDb, Ishqnama has recovered 47% of its production budget in the first fortnight. While the figure falls short of the 70% benchmark that many distributors consider a break‑even point, it reflects a moderate opening in a crowded market where several releases compete for audience attention.
Industry analysts suggest that the film’s performance could be buoyed by a second wave of promotions and a potential overseas release. Producers have hinted at a possible sequel if the movie’s earnings improve in the coming weeks.
