Movie Review: Thank You For Coming - 3.5/5

# Ikkis Roars into Theaters: Dharmendra's Final Bow Scores Rs 7 Crore on Day 1 Despite Dhurandhar Dominance! **Ikkis**, the heartfelt war drama starring debutant **Agastya Nanda** and the legendary **Dharmendra** in what's being called his final film, has stormed the box office with a solid **Rs 7 crore** opening on Day 1.[1][2][3] Released amid the massive hype of *Dhurandhar*, this emotional powerhouse still crushed competitors like *Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri* and held its ground, proving star power and storytelling can shine through the storm.[1] Imagine this: New Year's Day buzz, theaters filling up from low morning shows (10-15% occupancy) to a buzzing 45-50% in the evening, fueled by glowing word-of-mouth.[2] Early estimates from Sacnilk peg it at exactly **Rs 7 crore nett** in India, with trade figures hovering between **6-7 crore** worldwide— a decent launch boosted by the holiday vibe.[1][3][4] Sure, it didn't top *Dhurandhar*'s 24 crore monster open or match double-digit dreams given its high budget, but for a newcomer like Agastya (grandson of Amitabh Bachchan and related to Ranbir Kapoor), it's a top-5 debut for male actors—133% higher than his "chachu" Ranbir's first outing![5] Dharmendra's passing on November 24, 2025, adds a poignant layer, turning *Ikkis* into a tribute that audiences are embracing.[2] Compared to 2025's top Hindi openers like *Raid 2* (17.6 crore) or *Tere Ishk Mein* (15.25 crore), it's not the biggest, but stability over the weekend could make it a sleeper hit.[1] Box Office India calls it a "decent start" with real potential if weekdays hold strong.[6]
