Opening 2026 on a powerful and patriotic note, Ikkis stands tall as a stirring tribute to courage, sacrifice and an extraordinary legacy. Led by newcomer Agastya Nanda, the film brings to life the inspiring story of Second Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal, PVC — a hero who was just 21 years old, yet whose bravery continues to echo through generations.
Carrying forward a legacy both on and off screen, newcomer Agastya Nanda delivers a sincere and impactful performance as the young war hero, earning appreciation for portraying a legend with restraint, dignity and emotional depth. His portrayal anchors the film and reinforces the belief that powerful stories, when told honestly, can transcend star labels.
Marking a significant creative shift, National Award–winning filmmaker Sriram Raghavan steps into uncharted territory with Ikkis. Known for his razor-sharp thrillers such as Andhadhun, Johnny Gaddaar and Badlapur, Raghavan ventures into a deeply emotional patriotic drama for the first time.
What sets Ikkis apart is its commitment to unveiling chapters of history that never made it into textbooks or documentaries. The film sheds light on lesser-known moments from the life of Second Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal, revealing the human behind the hero and stories that India never fully knew.
Proving that courage can indeed lead to a powerful beginning, Ikkis has collected an impressive Rs. 22.05 crores in its opening weekend. The numbers are particularly noteworthy for a film led by a newcomer, reaffirming audience’s faith in content-driven cinema and strong storytelling. With growing word of mouth, appreciation for its soulful music, and praise for its emotional storytelling, Ikkis has struck a powerful chord with audiences nationwide.
Ikkis is now playing in cinemas across India.
