Ikkis Box Office Collection Day 3: Agastya Nanda and Dharmendra’s war film sees growth with Rs 15 crore amid Dhurandhar’s strong hold

Ikkis Box Office Collection Day 3: Sriram Raghavan’s directorial Ikkis seems to be back on track as it witnessed a slight spike in the numbers on the third day of its theatrical release. Starring Amitabh Bachchan’s grandson Agastya Nanda as the eponymous war hero and later actor Dharmendra as his proud father, Ikkis has been one of the most talked about films for many weeks. On Day 3, Ikkis saw growth in its numbers as it added Rs 4.65 crore to its net collection in India. Despite Dhurandhar’s strong hold, Ikkis is doing better than the earlier new releases like Kartik Aaryan’s Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri, which was overshadowed by the huge craze.

Ikkis plot and review

Sriram Raghavan’s war film Ikkis delivers a heartfelt tribute to Second Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal, India’s youngest recipient of the Param Vir Chakra (PVC) honour. The movie is set against the backdrop of the Indo-Pakistan War and follows the tale of bravery, sacrifice, resilience, and duty of a soldier on the battlefield. Agastya Nanda marked his big theatrical debut with Ikkis, as he headlines the film in the titular role, and Dharmendra plays his proud father. Simar Bhatia, Akshay Kumar’s niece, marked her Hindi film debut with Ikkis and played Agastya’s love interest. Jaideep Ahlawat plays an army officer. Deepak Dobriyal, Rahul Dev, Zakir Hussain, and Suhasini Mulay round out the ensemble.

With rave reviews on X (formerly Twitter), Ikkis grabbed attention as fans hailed it as a great start to the New Year. While many called Agastya’s performance promising, Dharmendra and Jaideep Ahlawat stole the show with their emotionally driven acting. Ikkis is now eyeing more positive responses as the Dhurandhar craze slows down with single-digit earnings.
