Ikkis Box Office Day 1: Agastya Nanda’s Debut Film Opens Strong

Sriram Raghavan’s Ikkis has finally hit theaters, marking the big‑screen debut of Agastya Nanda, grandson of Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan. The film, based on the life of Indian Army Second Lieutenant and Param Vir Chakra awardee Arun Khetarpal, has generated significant buzz among audiences.

Originally slated for release on December 25, Ikkis was postponed to January 1, 2026, to avoid clashes with Tu Meri Main Tera Tu Meri, Dhurandhar, and Vrishabha. The New Year release proved to be a smart move, as the film opened to positive reviews from critics and enthusiastic responses from cinephiles.

According to Sacnilk, Ikkis earned around ₹8 crore on its opening day — an impressive figure for a newcomer’s film. If the momentum continues, the movie is expected to enjoy a strong opening weekend.

Agastya’s debut mirrors the success of Ahan Pandey, who made waves last year with Saiyara. With this performance, Agastya seems poised to carve his own path in Bollywood.

Despite concerns that Ikkis might struggle against Ranveer Singh’s blockbuster Dhurandhar, the film has held its ground. Its promising start suggests that it could continue to challenge big releases in the days ahead.
