Ikkis has amassed Rs 21.5 crore until now, which is a decent amount in 5 days. Agastya himself doesn’t have a bar to compare this with, as Ikkis happens to be his theatrical debut. He previously starred in Zoya Akhtar’s Archies, but it was a Netflix film and never saw a day at the big screen. This is also Dharmendra’s last film, as the stalwart actor unfortunately passed away on November 24. Hence, a lot of hopes are riding on this film to work. Dharmendra’s fans and family would want this to be successful to honour his legacy, and the Bachchan family would want it to work so that Agastya can start building his own.

The occupancy rates for the film averaged out at 9.17%, with the morning and afternoon shows achieving rates of 4.78% and 8.58%. The evening and night shows couldn’t do much better and achieved rates of 11.21% and 12.11%. Ikkis needs to start bringing in more money before it starts bleeding shows, rendering it impossible to earn more money.

Directed by Sriram Raghavan, Ikkis follows the real-life story of Late Second Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal PVC. The cast of the film includes Agastya Nanda, Dharmendra, Jaideep Ahlawat, Simar Bhatia, Rahul Dev, Zakir Hussain and Suhasini Mulay.
