Movie Review: Thank You For Coming - 3.5/5

# Ikkis Roars into 2026: Agastya Nanda's Debut War Drama Charges Past Rs 8 Crore in Two Days! Is **Ikkis** the box office savior Bollywood needed to kick off 2026? Agastya Nanda's debut alongside the late Dharmendra has stormed theaters, racking up Rs 7 crore on Day 1 and adding Rs 1.01 crore so far on Day 2, pushing the India net total to Rs 8.01 crore and eyeing the Rs 10 crore mark by Friday night.[1][2][4] This biographical war drama, directed by Sriram Raghavan and backed by Jio Studios, opened strong despite stiff competition from Ranveer Singh's unstoppable **Dhurandhar**, which notched Rs 15.75 crore on its 28th day alone—yet **Ikkis** still grabbed 31.94% Hindi occupancy across over 2,400 shows.[2] Outshining Kartik Aaryan's rom-com **Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri** (just Rs 1.35 crore on Day 1 and under Rs 50 lakh on Day 2), **Ikkis** marks a promising start compared to 2025's lackluster January releases like **Emergency** (Rs 2.5 crore) and **Azaad** (Rs 1.5 crore).[2][4] Buzz around the film is electric: it's Dharmendra's poignant final screen appearance, Agastya Nanda's big launch (grandson of Amitabh Bachchan), and co-starring Akshay Kumar's niece Simar Bhatia. With a budget of Rs 40-60 crore, early projections pegged an opening of Rs 3-5.5 crore, but it smashed past that at Rs 7-7.28 crore nett domestically, with worldwide gross hitting Rs 8.25 crore.[1][2][3][4] Analysts predict it could become Sriram Raghavan's highest opener and Agastya's strongest debut ever.[3]

Fans are raving about the gripping war narrative, emotional depth, and star power—will it sustain momentum as **Dhurandhar** dominates? Early signs say yes, pacing toward a solid weekend.[4][5] What do you think—hit or slow burn?
