Wamiqa Gabbi has spent over a decade delivering some of Punjabi cinema’s most talked-about performances, moving fluidly between broad comedy, period romance, and hard-edged crime drama. She played the love interest in a road-trip comedy about two runaway brothers, a determined bride caught between love and tradition in pre-independence Punjab, and – in one of her sharpest departures – a fierce lawyer chasing the truth behind a friend’s disappearance in a crime. That range has kept her name on Punjabi film posters since her 2013 debut.
She’s built some of her most memorable work around one recurring on-screen partnership in particular – twice opposite Parmish Verma, first in Dil Diyan Gallan and then, five years later, in Tabaah, which marked her return to Punjabi cinema after a run of Hindi film projects. That reunion, along with a string of varied roles across comedy, period drama, and crime, has made her one of Punjabi cinema’s more versatile leading women.
This guide walks through six of her Punjabi films – all currently streaming on Chaupal – tracing her filmography from that 2013 debut through the genres she’s built a career on, along with answers to the questions audiences most often ask about her movies.
Wamiqa Gabbi Movies You Should Know About
1. Tu Mera 22 Main Tera 22
Release: 2013
Genre: Comedy
Director: Amit Prasher
Writer: Dheeraj Rattan
Producer: J.S. Kataria, Gunbir Singh Sidhu, Hansraj Ralhan, Pooja Singh
Cast: Amrinder Gill, Yo Yo Honey Singh, Mandy Takhar, Wamiqa Gabbi, Binnu Dhillon
Wamiqa Gabbi made her Punjabi cinema debut in Tu Mera 22 Main Tera 22, a comedy directed by Amit Prasher. Set between Melbourne and Punjab, the film follows two spoiled rich brothers – played by Amrinder Gill and Yo Yo Honey Singh – whose father throws them out of the house and dares them to earn their inheritance the hard way. Wamiqa plays Mini, one half of the film’s romantic pairing, bringing an easy screen presence to a debut role opposite two of Punjabi music’s biggest names. The film did solid business at the box office, landing a “semi-hit” verdict, and Wamiqa herself picked up a Best Supporting Actress nomination at the PTC Punjabi Film Awards. It was a confident first outing that set up a filmography built on range rather than repetition.
2. Nadhoo Khan
Release: 2019
Genre: Drama, Romance
Director: Imran Ali Sheikh
Writer: Sukhjinder Singh Babbal
Producer: Harpreet Singh Devgun, Achint Goel, Rakesh Dahiya
Cast: Harish Verma, Wamiqa Gabbi, B.N. Sharma
Set in pre-independence Punjab, Nadhoo Khan cast Wamiqa as Jindo opposite Harish Verma’s Chanan, a young man determined to become a wrestler despite his grandfather’s condition that he stay away from women entirely. The two fall for each other anyway, and the story builds to a wrestling match against Jindo’s brother that will decide whether love or tradition wins out. Director Imran Ali Sheikh leaned into period detail and old-world Punjabi values, giving Wamiqa’s character a quieter, more restrained energy than her comedy roles. It’s one of the more overlooked entries in her filmography commercially, but it added a period romance to a resume that already spanned comedy and franchise drama. The Chanan-Jindo pairing is still cited among her more memorable screen romances.
3. Doorbeen
Release: 2019
Genre: Action, Comedy, Drama
Director: Ishan Chopra
Writer: Sukhraj Singh
Producer: Sukhraj Randhawa, Jugraj Bal, Yadwinder Virk
Cast: Ninja, Wamiqa Gabbi, Jass Bajwa, Jasmin Bajwa, Yograj Singh
Doorbeen paired Wamiqa with singer Ninja in director Ishan Chopra’s debut feature, built around Punjab’s illegal liquor trade. She plays Noor, the love interest of Shinda (Ninja), a small-time smuggler whose inventive schemes to dodge a newly appointed DSP form the film’s comic backbone while his relationship with Noor supplies its heart. The film blends adventure-comedy set pieces with a genuine crime plot, giving Wamiqa room to play both the romantic lead and part of the story’s moral center. It’s remembered as a lighter, quirkier entry in her catalogue, distinct from the straight romance and period drama she’d done before. Doorbeen showed she could hold her own in an ensemble built around a music star’s screen debut, not just alongside established actors.
4. Dil Diyan Gallan
Release: 2019
Genre: Romance, Drama
Director: Uday Pratap Singh
Writer: Uday Pratap Singh
Producer: Dinesh Auluck, Sandeep Bansal
Cast: Parmish Verma, Wamiqa Gabbi, Gaurav Kakkar, Anoop Karir
Dil Diyan Gallan cast Wamiqa opposite Parmish Verma as Natasha, a social media influencer invited to London who falls for a young photographer despite their clashing worlds. Director Uday Pratap Singh leans into the culture-clash romance between internet fame and small-town sincerity, with Wamiqa carrying much of the emotional arc as Natasha’s public persona and private feelings pull in different directions. It became one of her most talked-about romantic leads, helped by strong chemistry with Verma and a plot that tapped into the then-growing conversation around influencer culture. The pairing worked well enough that Wamiqa and Verma would reunite five years later for Tabaah. Dil Diyan Gallan remains one of the clearest examples of her range in straight romantic drama.
5. Kali Jotta
Release: 2023
Genre: Crime, Drama
Director: Vijay Kumar Arora
Writer: Harinder Kour
Producer: Sunny Raj, Varun Arora, Sarla Rani, Santosh Subhash Thite, Neeru Bajwa
Cast: Satinder Sartaaj, Neeru Bajwa, Wamiqa Gabbi, Prince Kanwaljit Singh
Kali Jotta gave Wamiqa one of her most substantial roles yet, casting her as Anant, a sharp lawyer investigating the disappearance of Rabia (Neeru Bajwa) in a crime drama directed by National Award-winning filmmaker Vijay Kumar Arora. As Anant digs deeper into the case alongside Satinder Sartaaj’s Deedar, the film peels back a story about a male-dominated society’s treatment of women, using its investigation frame to hold heavier social commentary. It’s a sharper, more serious register than the comedy and romance that built her early career, closer in spirit to Nadhoo Khan’s period gravity than to anything lighter. The film was also a commercial success, with reported worldwide gross estimates of around ₹40–42 crore , making it one of the bigger commercial hits in Wamiqa’s filmography. It’s frequently cited as proof that she can lead a film built around plot and social stakes rather than romance.
6. Tabaah
Release: 2024
Genre: Drama, Romance
Director: Parmish Verma
Writer: Gurjind Maan
Producer: Parmish Verma (Parmish Verma Films)
Cast: Parmish Verma, Wamiqa Gabbi, Dheeraj Kumar, Kanwaljit Singh, Kavi Singh
Tabaah marked Wamiqa’s return to Punjabi cinema after a stretch focused on Hindi projects, reuniting her with Parmish Verma five years after Dil Diyan Gallan. Verma both directs and stars as a man undone by a love he never confesses, with Wamiqa playing Ambar, the woman he falls for at first sight but hesitates to pursue until it’s too late. Written by Gurjind Maan, the film trades the earlier film’s lighter romantic tone for something heavier and more tragic, built around longing and missed timing rather than a happy resolution. The Parmish-Wamiqa pairing was the film’s biggest draw, with their chemistry from Dil Diyan Gallan doing much of the promotional heavy lifting. Tabaah closed out this chapter of her filmography by confirming that, Bollywood detours aside, Punjabi audiences were still eager to see her back on screen.
