Ikkis Twitter Review: Ikkis narrates the tale of Second Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal, one of India's youngest recipients of the Param Vir Chakra, against the backdrop of the 1971 India–Pakistan War. Agastya Nanda plays the title role in the war drama, while Dharmendra plays the hero's father, Brigadier ML Khetarpal. Rahul Dev, Simar Bhatia, and Jaideep Ahlawat complete the supporting cast. Ikkis eventually made its theatrical debut on January 1st, and early reviews indicate that the movie has resonated with viewers.

Ikkis is inspired by real-life events. Fans flocked to first-day-first-show screenings in several places despite a packed holiday release window, anxious to see Agastya Nanda's big-screen debut and Dharmendra's last big-screen appearance.
