From the laugh riot of Housefull 5 to the high-octane action of Baaghi 4, the intense romance of Deewaniyat to the patriotic fervour of Border 2, Sonam Bajwa’s Hindi film debut year is anything but run-of-the-mill. The queen of Punjabi cinema is making her foray into Bollywood—and she’s doing it with unapologetic strength, poise, and genre-bending options.
Punjab to Pan-India: A Smooth Transition
Having given back-to-back blockbusters in Punjabi cinema and receiving praise for her performances, Sonam Bajwa is now sweeping Bollywood off its feet with the same ease. Producers and directors are waiting in line to cast her—not for her looks alone, but for her undeniable talent. With expertise in Urdu, Hindi, and Punjabi, she has linguistic flexibility that adds to her on-screen credibility across all genres.
Four Films, Four Worlds, One Breakout Star
Sonam impressed in Housefull 5 with her comic ability and fluid jump between languages. Her charm and presence on screen gave the franchise a fresh new lease of life.
Then, she gets hot in Baaghi 4, co-starring with Tiger Shroff in an action-sultry avatar. The film casts her in a dramatic, edgy role that is in contrast to her comedy performance.
Next is Deewaniyat, a contemporary romance drama with Harshvardhan Rane. Here, Sonam acts out a very complex character in a plot that moves to some very intense emotional ground, showing she’s more than a pretty face but a dedicated performer.
Last but not least, she gets to play a grounded Punjabi girl in Border 2 with Diljit Dosanjh, awakening patriotic sentiments in a strong plot set against a nationalist background.
A Rarity in Bollywood Debuts
Fewer debutantes launch into Hindi cinema with this broad range of roles within one year. Sonam’s 2025 filmography is a testament to her remarkable range and promise as a pan-India leading lady. From comedy and action to romance and patriotism, she’s covering it all—and doing it with purpose.
As the industry watches her journey unfold, one thing is clear: Sonam Bajwa isn’t just debuting in Bollywood—she’s rewriting what it means to be a modern Hindi film heroine.
