Ikkis Movie Review, Rating and Release Live Updates: Ikkis marks Dharmendra’s last appearance in the movies.Ikkis Movie Review, Rating and Release Live Updates: Agastya Nanda’s film Ikkis hits theatres on January 1 amid the ongoing Dhurandhar storm at the box office. The film marks the acting debut of Akshay Kumar’s niece Simar Bhatia and is also the posthumous release of late legendary actor Dharmendra. The film is directed Sriram Raghavan, who is known for helming critically acclaimed projects such as Andhadhun, Ek Hasina Thi, Merry Chrmas and several others. This is also the silver screen debut of Agastya, who has previously appeared in Zoya Akhtar’s The Archies on Netflix.
Ikkis was originally scheduled to release on December 25. But the makers decided to postpone the release a week. Amitabh Bachchan, who is the grandfather of Agastya, said that the date was changed due to astrological reasons. Despite the delay, the Dhurandhar craze has refused to ebb, and Ikkis’ early box office collections could suffer because of it. Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday’s film, Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri, tanked within a week of its release, after hitting the screens on December 25.Story continues below this ad
Ikkis revolves around the life of 2nd Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal, the youngest Param Vir Chakra recipient. Ahead of the film’s release, the makers held a special screening for Mukesh Khetarpal, the younger brother of Arun Khetarpal, along with several industry personalities. After the screening, Mukesh admitted that Agastya’s performance as Arun made him emotional and brought him to tears. He said, “My grouse is you made me cry. You made me relive… Certain things were in my mind, and moment moment, when I saw it on screen, I got so emotional I couldn’t stop crying.”
Meanwhile, Sunny Deol shared an emotional message on Instagram, remembering his father Dharmendra and his final performance in Ikkis. He wrote, “Our Papa, the man of the soil, Ikkis is his salute – his gift to the earth he loved and to the fans who always stood him. For our family, it is a treasure filled with his spirit, courage, and his heart. Today, with love and immense pride, we share it with the world, hoping it lives on the way he does – forever.❤️♾️”
