Ikkis Box Office Collection Day 2: Dharmendra's Swansong Sees 50% Dip In Numbers; Fails To Earn 4cr

Ikkis Box Office Collection Day 2: War drama Ikkis has arrived in cinemas in early 2026 and is drawing strong interest. The film features Dharmendra making his final appearance on the big screen, months after the actor's death on November 24, 2025. Early estimates indicated a solid opening day at the box office amid heavy anticipation. Ikkis is directed by Sriram Raghavan and marks the theatrical debut of Agastya Nanda. The cast includes Dharmendra in the last film role, alongside Jaideep Ahlawat and Simar Bhatia. For many viewers, the project gains added emotional weight as Dharmendra's swansong reaches theatres after the celebrated actor's passing.

Ikkis is a biographical war film set during the 1971 India-Pakistan War, with its story centred on the Battle of Basantar. The narrative follows Second Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal, whose military service and actions in this key tank battle became a symbol of courage, sacrifice and duty during the conflict. The film traces Arun Khetarpal's journey from the early days of commission to the battlefield. It builds towards the officer's final stand in the Battle of Basantar and the circumstances of the heroic death. Another track follows Brigadier ML Khetarpal's visit to Pakistan around three decades later, looking at how the war's memories linger. After witnessing a good start at the box office, Ikkis saw a massive dip in numbers

Meanwhile, during a conversation with Bollywood Hungama, Sriram Raghavan got candid about Arun Khetarpal's family's reaction to Ikkis and said, "Arun Khetarpal's brother saw the film. He was extremely moved. He had a long chat with Agastya Nanda (who plays Arun in the film). He told us, 'Now, I imagine what Arun must have gone through when he was there'. He asked us, 'How did you capture my brother so well?'. It was quite overwhelming for him watching the film".
