Within a week of its theatrical premiere, Ikkis has witnessed a major dip in its collection. On the second Friday, Ikkis minted only a few lakhs to its earnings, which is even far from a crore. Helmed by Sriram Raghavan, Ikkis stars Agastya Nanda in the titular role. Here’s more about the update on the box office…

How much Ikkis earned on Day 9 at the box office

From the creative mind of Badlapur filmmaker comes another promising movie. Ikkis is a gripping war biopic inspired by the real story of Second Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal, who received India’s highest honour of Param Vir Chakra (PVC), for his exceptional valor and sacrifice. The war drama film also reflects on a soldier’s life as he juggles between family relationships, emotions, and his duty. Ikkis follows the events of the Battle of Basantar in 1971 (India-Pakistan war).
