Agastya Nanda's 'Ikkis' Falters at Box Office, Collects 26 Crore in First Week

• Agastya Nanda's debut film 'Ikkis', a war drama directed by Sriram Raghavan, collected only 26.35 crore by its ninth day.
• The film had a strong opening day with 7 crore but saw collections drop significantly after the first weekend.
• Despite starring Dharmendra in his last film and a strong cast including Jaideep Ahlawat, the movie struggled against competition.
• Based on the 1971 Indo-Pak war and the biopic of PVC Arun Khetarpal, 'Ikkis' has only recovered 44% of its 60 crore budget.
• Audience interest declined rapidly, with Hindi occupancy at 11.57% on the second Friday, and many are now awaiting its OTT release.

Why It Matters: 'Ikkis' underperformed at the box office, struggling to recover its budget despite a strong cast and war theme.
