Ikkis HT review
The Hindustan Times review of the film read, “Ikkis works best when it stops trying to be a war film and becomes a painful reminder. It tells you something unbearable: that our freedoms were bought by people who never got to live theirs. You leave the theatre not uplifted or proud, but hollowed out. And that ache, the kind that sits in your chest long after, is its most devastating triumph. The silence that follows the final scene is not cinematic. It is grief for a son who never came home, for a father who lived long enough to carry that loss… for a country that remembers its heroes mostly in passing.
About Ikkis
Produced under Dinesh Vijan’s production banner Maddock Films, Ikkis also features late actor Dharmendra, Simar Bhatia, Vivaan Shah, Sikandar Kher, and Jaideep Ahlawat in pivotal roles. It is written by Sriram alongside Arijit Biswas and Pooja Ladha Surti.
In the film, Agastya Nanda plays Arun, who was martyred at the age of 21 during the Battle of Basantar in the 1971 Indo-Pak war. For his courage and sacrifice, he was posthumously awarded the Param Vir Chakra, making him the youngest recipient of India’s highest military honour at the time.
