On its opening day, 'Ikkis' made it clear at the box office that patriotism and true stories hold a special place in the hearts of audiences. Inspired by the bravery of Second Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal, a hero of the 1971 Indo-Pak war, the film registered a net box office collection (NBOC) of 7.28 crore in India on its first day. This opening indicates that the film's soul and emotional impact have resonated strongly with the audience.

'Ikkis' is not just a war film; it keeps alive the spirit of courage, duty, and sacrifice, a spirit that deepens with time. The film's greatest strength lies in its serious and restrained storytelling, which touches the heart without being overly dramatic. This is why, from the very first day of its release, the film has been receiving praise from both audiences and critics.

The production values, cinematography, and background score also contribute significantly to the narrative, allowing viewers to fully experience the atmosphere of war and the spirit of the soldiers with complete seriousness. Given the strong opening day collection and positive word of mouth, it can be said that 'Ikkis’ is likely to gain further momentum in the coming days. Ikkis is not just about box office numbers, but a story of honor and heart that will be remembered for a long time.

The film is directed by Sriram Raghavan, who, stepping outside his usual thriller genre, has delivered a sensitive and impactful war drama. The cast, including Dharmendra, Jaideep Ahlawat, Agastya Nanda, Simran Bhatia, Suhasini Mulay, Rahul Dev, Sikandar Kher, Vivaan Shah, Ekavali Khanna, and Avani Rai, have brought their characters to life. The film is receiving particular acclaim for its performances and emotional depth.
