Ikkis Crosses Rs 20 Crore on First Sunday
Ikkis is a new war movie that came out on January 1, 2026.
It's about a brave soldier named Arun Khetarpal who won a big award called the Param Vir Chakra.
The movie stars Agastya Nanda and is directed by Sriram Raghavan.
It's special because it's the last movie of the famous actor Dharmendra, who passed away in 2025.
Even though it had to compete with another big movie called Dhurandhar, Ikkis did really well and made more than Rs 20 crore in its first weekend.
This is great news for the makers of the film!
Ikkis, a war film and biopic about Arun Khetarpal, released on January 1, 2026, starring Agastya Nanda.
The film is directed by Sriram Raghavan and is Dharmendra's last film, released posthumously.
Ikkis faced competition from Dhurandhar, a spy thriller starring Ranveer Singh, but still crossed Rs 20 crore in its first weekend.
The film honors the legacy of Param Vir Chakra honoree Arun Khetarpal.
Ikkis was co-written and directed by Sriram Raghavan, adding to its appeal and success.
