Shehnaaz Gill’s “Gadbad” Brings Chaos and Charm to Punjabi Pop from Ikk Kudi

Dharma Productions has officially stepped into Punjabi cinema with a bang, dropping the high-energy track “Gadbad” from its debut Punjabi film Ikk Kudi. Featuring Shehnaaz Gill and Gurjazz, the track was unveiled with the cheeky caption, “Zindagi gadbad na hojaye!” – a sentiment that perfectly sums up the youthful chaos and emotional whirl of the film. With music that grabs you instantly and visuals that burst with colour and culture, Gadbad is an infectious first glimpse into a film that promises heart, humour, and rebellion.

Composed with a modern yet rooted Punjabi vibe, Gadbad is a musical blend of tradition and trend. Backed by Speed Records, the track pairs energetic beats with playful, punchy lyrics that reflect the turbulence of youth and the search for identity. The visuals, set against vibrant backdrops and stylish choreography, follow Shehnaaz Gill’s character navigating emotional and romantic confusion with flair. Jyoti Nooran lends powerful vocals that add depth to this peppy track, delivering a song that feels like a rollercoaster through the highs and lows of young adulthood.

The film Ikk Kudi, directed by Amarjit Saron, marks Shehnaaz Gill’s debut as a producer, making this a doubly significant project for the actress who has rapidly evolved from reality TV fame to a respected performer and now a creative force behind the camera. With Ikk Kudi set for release on September 19, 2025, Gadbad works as the perfect musical launchpad—fun, rebellious, and packed with personality. Gill’s presence dominates the screen, bringing charm, emotion, and just the right amount of drama to the frame.

This release also signifies a landmark moment for Dharma Productions, which is making its first big splash into regional cinema with this Punjabi-language venture. With names like Karan Johar, Apoorva Mehta, and Adar Poonawalla backing the project alongside Raaya Picturez, Shehnaaz Gill Production, and Amor Films, Ikk Kudi is poised to blend mainstream cinematic appeal with the cultural authenticity that Punjabi audiences love. It’s also a smart move in expanding Dharma's creative footprint across linguistic boundaries.

Whether you’re into foot-tapping beats, fresh talent, or just excited to see Punjabi cinema enter a new era with big production houses, Gadbad is the anthem you didn’t know you needed. A celebration of confusion, confidence, and coming-of-age chaos, this song is setting the tone for Ikk Kudi—a film that’s not just about love, but about finding your own rhythm in a noisy world.
