It tells you something unbearable: that our freedoms were bought by people who never got to live theirs. You leave the theatre not uplifted or proud, but hollowed out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/1767000678_201_story_trending@2x.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"\/>           <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hindustantimes.com\" class=\"breadcrumbclick\" data-vars-event-label=\"Home_clicked\" data-vars-event-action=\"\/\" data-vars-event-cta=\"News\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">News<\/a> \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hindustantimes.com\/entertainment\" class=\"breadcrumbclick\" data-vars-event-label=\"Entertainment_clicked\" data-vars-event-action=\"\/entertainment\" data-vars-event-cta=\"Entertainment\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Entertainment<\/a> \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hindustantimes.com\/entertainment\/bollywood\" class=\"breadcrumbclick\" data-vars-event-label=\"Bollywood_clicked\" data-vars-event-action=\"\/entertainment\/bollywood\" data-vars-event-cta=\"Bollywood\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Bollywood<\/a> \/ Ikkis box office collection day 4: Agastya Nanda film maintains momentum, closes 1st weekend at \u20b920 crore   <\/p>\n<p> See Less <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u20b920 crore&#8221; data-collapse-article=&#8221;false&#8221; &gt; Updated on: Jan 04, 2026 10:10 pm IST Ikkis box office collection day 4:&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":388574,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[104046,49,48,24994,75,136253,164930,337,140442],"class_list":["post-388573","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-agastya-nanda","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-dharmendra","tag-entertainment","tag-ikkis","tag-ikkis-box-office-performance","tag-movies","tag-sriram-raghavan"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/388573","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=388573"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/388573\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/388574"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=388573"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=388573"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=388573"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
