Agastya Nanda’s debut war drama Ikkis may not have had a dream opening at the Indian box office, but the film is gradually finding its audience. After a slow start, the wartime drama has shown a noticeable rise in collections, especially from its second day onward, indicating growing interest driven by positive word of mouth.

Set against the backdrop of war and sacrifice, Ikkis has been earning appreciation for its emotional depth and patriotic appeal. The presence of legendary actor Dharmendra, appearing in his final film role, has also played a significant role in drawing audiences to theatres despite tough competition from other releases.

Two weeks into its theatrical run, Ikkis has managed to cross the ₹1 crore mark and is steadily inching toward an estimated ₹10 crore lifetime collection in the coming days. While these numbers may not be massive by commercial standards, they reflect consistent growth an encouraging sign for a content-driven war drama.

Interestingly, Ikkis has performed better in terms of growth when compared to Kartik Aaryan’s romantic drama Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri, which has struggled to maintain momentum. The strong emotional narrative and nationalistic undertones of Ikkis appear to be resonating more deeply with a section of the audience.

However, the box office landscape is currently dominated by Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar, which continues to reign supreme even in its fourth week. The film’s overwhelming success has made it challenging for newer releases like Ikkis to claim top slots at theatres.

In conclusion, while Ikkis may not be a blockbuster in the making, its slow and steady rise proves that meaningful storytelling and strong performances can still carve a space at the box office. The coming days will determine how far this quiet growth can take Agastya Nanda’s first cinematic outing.
