the film “Ikkis” is earning rave reviews as a worthy tribute to the late Bollywood legend Dharmendra. Directed by Sriram Raghavan, the movie tells the story of war hero Arun Khetarpal.
Early reactions on social media describe it as a “must-watch” that deviates from loud, chest-thumping war rhetoric, focusing instead on a humanistic and emotional narrative.
Agastya Nanda is receiving praise for his mature performance as the young martyr, but the spotlight is firmly on Dharmendra in his final on-screen role.
Fans have called his performance an “emotional farewell,” adding deep sentimental value to the film. Amitabh Bachchan also promoted the film emotionally, calling it a “precious mark” left behind by his dear friend and idol.
The film is being hailed as a perfect start to the cinematic year. Reviewers highlight the unique storytelling style of Raghavan, which blends the intensity of the 1971 war with personal stories of love and ambition. With a strong ensemble cast including Jaideep Ahlawat, “Ikkis” is resonating deeply with audiences as more than just a war movie—it’s a heartfelt legacy piece.
