The Hindi-language biographical war drama 'Ikkis', starring Agastya Nanda in his theatrical debut and featuring Dharmendra in his final film role, was released on January 1, 2026. Directed by Sriram Raghavan, the film is based on the life of Second Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal, India's youngest Param Vir Chakra recipient. The movie's box office performance has been under scrutiny, with reports indicating a relatively slow start. On its eighth day in theaters, January 8, 2026 (a Thursday), 'Ikkis' collected approximately ₹1.35 crore (net) across India. This collection contributed to a total domestic net earning of around ₹25.60 crore by the end of Day 8. While the film maintained daily collections above ₹1 crore during its opening week, its performance saw a dip on its ninth day (second Friday), January 9, 2026, when it reportedly earned around ₹85 lakh. Competing with films like 'Dhurandhar' and 'The Raja Saab', 'Ikkis' has garnered mixed reactions from audiences. The Times of India, Sacnilk, and The Indian Express are among the credible sources corroborating these box office figures.
