Dharmendra’s last movie Ikkis has now released in theatres. The Box Office numbers from the morning shows are out, and they do not appear too promising. The movie, which released on Thursday rather than the conventional Friday, sees a slow growth by earning lesser than Rs. 1 crore and even Rs. 50 lakh at the Box Office in the morning shows on day 1.
Ikkis has earned lesser than even Rs. 50 lakh in the morning shows on day 1 of release. The movie, which is Dharmendra's last film, earned Rs. 0.39 crore at the Box Office in the morning shows, according to Sacnilk. Whether the film sees sudden immense growth or will continue to rise slowly from here remains to be seen.

Ikkis, released on January 1, 2026, marks the big-screen Bollywood debut for Amitabh Bachchan's grandson Agastya Nanda. It also happens to be Dharmendra's last theatrical release. Bollywood's He-Man passed away on November 24, 2025, a few days before his 90th birthday.
For the uninitiated, Ikkis was scheduled for Christmas 2025 release. However, owing to the Dhurandhar craze, the makers decided it would be best if the movie releases on New Year instead. The Sriram Raghavan directorial, also starring Jaideep Ahlawat in the lead role, has released alongside a new version of Dhurandhar. It would be interesting to see if Ikkis can hold up even as Dhurandhar continues to rule at the Box Office.

Interestingly, Dhurandhar’s new version is now in theatres. The movie, starring Ranveer Singh in the lead role, has released an edited version on January 1, 2026. The new version has edited out three words, including ‘Baloch.’ While Dhurandhar: Part 1 is about to complete 30 days at the Box Office, Part 2 is also scheduled for March 19, 2026 release in theatres.
