Ikkis Public Talk & Response: Nobody Saw This Coming?

The new year begins on a positive note as Ikkis hits theatres. Early reviews suggest a pleasant start to 2026. Sriram Raghavan’s film is receiving decent appreciation from audiences on day one.

Ikkis follows the story of Second Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal, Param Veer Chakra awardee. The narrative blends his past and present, creating an emotional portrait of duty, sacrifice, and legacy.

Fans are calling it a heartfelt farewell for Dharmendra. He plays late Brigadier ML Khetarpal, Arun’s father. Viewers appreciated his emotional depth and iconic presence. His final big-screen appearance resonates strongly.

Agastya Nanda delivers a sincere performance. Jaideep Ahlawat fits seamlessly into the film, adding weight with his craft. Their dynamic, supported by Raghavan’s direction, forms the core of Ikkis.

Some viewers felt the writing drags in parts. A few scenes appear stretched. However, the emotional heft and execution balance this out for many. The film still stands as a solid watch overall.

Sriram Raghavan set out to make an emotional war drama. For most audiences, he succeeded. With positive word of mouth building, the box office journey ahead will be interesting to follow.
