Movie Review: Thank You For Coming - 3.5/5

# Ikkis Box Office Day 3: Can Agastya Nanda's War Drama Hit ₹15 Crore and Escape the Friday Slump? **Ikkis**, the highly anticipated war drama starring debutant **Agastya Nanda** and veteran **Dharmendra** in his final role, kicked off 2026 with a bang on New Year's Day—but faced a classic Friday dip that has fans and trackers eyeing its weekend recovery.[1][2][3] Directed by **Sriram Raghavan**, the film opened strong with **₹7-7.28 crore** net in India on Day 1 (January 1, 2026), capitalizing on holiday crowds and positive buzz around its gripping 1971 Indo-Pak war storyline.[1][2][3][4][6] However, Day 2 (January 2) saw a sharp **50% drop** to **₹3.5 crore** net, pushing the two-day domestic total to **₹10.5 crore** net (approximately **₹12.5 crore** worldwide).[2][3][4] Occupancy dipped to **14.72%** overall, with morning shows at just **5.75%**, signaling post-holiday fatigue amid competition from holdover hits like **Dhurandhar** (dominating with 3,800+ shows vs. Ikkis's 2,400).[3] As Day 3 unfolds on Saturday, January 3, early reports suggest **Ikkis** is aiming for **₹15 crore** cumulative by weekend's end, outpacing flops like **Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri** but struggling in the shadow of blockbusters such as **Sky Force** (₹34.25 crore in two days) and even Raghavan's past releases.[2][3] Bollywood Hungama pegs the current worldwide gross at **₹8.76 crore**, though fresher trackers like Sacnilk align on the **₹10.5 crore** two-day India net—highlighting variance in early estimates.[1][4] Critics praise its performances and authenticity, positioning it ahead of **120 Bahadur** (₹6.1 crore in two days), but it needs a **Saturday surge** to hit the **₹30-40 crore** lifetime target.[2][3]

Will **Ikkis** bounce back with weekend word-of-mouth, or will competition clip its wings? The stakes are high for Agastya Nanda's launch and Dharmendra's swan song. What do you think—**hit, miss, or sleeper?** Drop your predictions in the comments below, share this post with fellow Bollywood fans, and let's track Day 3 together!
