# Ikkis Roars into Weekend: Agastya Nanda's Debut War Drama Crosses ₹15 Crore Mark Despite Dhurandhar Storm! Is Agastya Nanda's Bollywood debut a sleeper hit in the making? After a blockbuster opening of **₹7.28 crore** on Day 1 (January 1, 2026), *Ikkis*—the poignant war drama based on Second Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal's life—faced a **50% drop** to **₹3.5 crore** on Day 2, pushing its two-day India net total to **₹10.5-10.78 crore**.[1][2][3][4] But hold on—Day 3 brought the weekend boost fans craved!
### Weekend Jump Seals the Deal Early trends on Saturday (Day 3) showed *Ikkis* rebounding with **₹2.01 crore** by evening, racing past the **₹15 crore** worldwide mark as per Times of India reports.[3][5] Bollywood Hungama confirms the film's India net at **₹10.78 crore** lifetime so far, with gross collections hitting **₹14 crore** worldwide (including **₹12.83 crore India gross** and **₹1.17 crore overseas**).[1] That's solid for a debut amid stiff competition—outshining Kartik Aaryan's *TMMTMTTM* (stuck under ₹1 crore on Day 3) but trailing Ranveer Singh's unstoppable *Dhurandhar*, now eyeing **₹750 crore** domestic after 29 days.[2][3][4] Dharmendra's final screen appearance as a Bollywood legend adds emotional weight, alongside a stellar cast: Jaideep Ahlawat, Sikandar Kher, and more. Day 2 occupancy hovered at **14.72%** (rising from 5.75% mornings), signaling steady word-of-mouth for this Sriram Raghavan directorial.[2][4] Compared to past war films like *120 Bahadur* (₹6.1 crore in two days), *Ikkis* is already ahead.[4] ### Why *Ikkis* Deserves Your Theater Seat This isn't just a star kid launch—it's a tribute to valor with gripping action and heartfelt drama. Positive reviews highlight Agastya's promise (Amitabh Bachchan's grandson stepping up big), but will it sustain against *Dhurandhar*'s dominance across 3,800+ screens? Early signs say yes, with weekend growth hinting at legs.[1][3] What do you think—hit, flop, or steady climber? **Drop a comment below with your verdict, share this post if you're team Ikkis, and tag a friend to catch it in theaters now!** Let's make the box office buzz louder! 🚀
