Punjab Nahi Jaungi (lit. 'I Won't Go to Punjab') is a 2017 Pakistani romantic comedy featuring a quintessential love triangle, deeply rooted in Pakistani Punjabi culture. Directed by Nadeem Baig with a screenplay by Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar, the film stars Humayun Saeed and Mehwish Hayat as leads, supported by Sohail Ahmed, Saba Hameed, and Urwa Hocane.
Produced by Six Sigma Plus (Humayun Saeed and Shahzad Nasib) and distributed by ARY Films (Salman Iqbal and Jerjees Seja), this Eid-al-Adha release (1 September 2017) became a box-office phenomenon. It held Pakistan’s highest-grossing film record (1.6 crore Rs. worldwide) until Jawani Phir Nahi Ani 2 surpassed it. A 2022 spin-off, London Nahi Jaunga, later extended the franchise.
