Top 20 Highest Grossing Punjabi Movies of All Time

Punjabi cinema, affectionately known as Pollywood, is a part of Indian cinema, dedicated to the production of films in the Punjabi-language. It is based in Amritsar, Ludhiana and Mohali, Punjab. It has blossomed from its humble beginnings in 1925 with Sheela—a silent-era pioneer—into a vibrant force that celebrates the linguistic verve, pastoral landscapes, and indomitable spirit of Punjab. Over decades, its storytelling has evolved from folkloric tales rooted in agrarian life to narratives that straddle tradition and modernity, mirroring Punjab’s own socio-cultural metamorphosis.

The 1970s and 1980s marked pivotal turning points, with films like Nanak Nam Jahaz Hai (1969) and Long Da Lishkara (1986) embedding Sikh values and rural ethos into their frameworks, while the 21st century ushered in a renaissance. Today, Punjabi cinema thrives as a testament to resilience, blending boisterous Bhangra rhythms, wry humor, and poignant familial dramas into a cultural tapestry that resonates far beyond the region’s borders. This evolution reflects not just artistic growth but also a strategic embrace of global filmmaking trends, enabling Pollywood to carve a distinct identity within India’s eclectic cinematic mosaic.

The commercial triumphs of Punjabi films—epitomized by blockbusters like Jatt & Juliet 3 (2024) and Carry on Jatta 3 (2023)—underscore a dual victory: box-office dominance paired with cultural ambassadorship. These record-shattering productions, some grossing over ₹1 billion globally, transcend mere entertainment by showcasing Punjab’s lush mustard fields, vibrant wedding rituals, and unyielding zest for life.

They amplify regional talent, from Diljit Dosanjh’s charismatic screen presence to Gippy Grewal’s cross-genre versatility, while narratives steeped in Punjabi ethos foster pride among diasporas worldwide. As Pollywood’s influence permeates Bollywood and international markets, its top-grossing films stand as milestones—celebrating heritage, nurturing innovation, and proving that stories rooted in local soil can yield universal appeal.
