Sriram Raghavan\u2019s Ikkis arrives in cinemas on January 1, 2026, having been postponed a week from its original Christmas release due to <a class=\"backlink\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hindustantimes.com\/entertainment\/bollywood\/box-office-report-card-2025-word-of-mouth-gave-bollywood-most-dhurandhar-year-ever-chaava-saiyaara-kantara-chapter-1-101767166804190.html\" data-vars-page-type=\"story\" data-vars-link-type=\"Manual\" data-vars-anchor-text=\"Dhurandhar\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Dhurandhar<\/a>\u2019s rampage. But it seems that even that week-long delay has not helped the film much. Early trends indicate a lukewarm start for the <a class=\"backlink\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hindustantimes.com\/topic\/agastya-nanda\" data-vars-page-type=\"story\" data-vars-link-type=\"Manual\" data-vars-anchor-text=\"Agastya Nanda\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Agastya Nanda<\/a>-led war drama.<\/p>\n<p>     <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Ikkis_1767171297704_1767171301724.jpg\" alt=\"Ikkis stars Agastya Nanda in the lead role.\" title=\"Ikkis stars Agastya Nanda in the lead role.\"\/>   Ikkis stars Agastya Nanda in the lead role.    Ikkis advance booking<\/p>\n<p>According to trade sources, by 2 PM on Wednesday, on the eve of the film\u2019s release, Ikkis has sold a little over 30k tickets for its opening day, just about crossing the \u20b91 crore mark in advance bookings. Given the film\u2019s scale, this is a rather low figure, but trade expects it to pick up over the New Year holiday. <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.filmynewsnetwork.com\/post\/ikkis-opening-day-boxoffice-advance-booking-report#google_vignette\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"backlink\" data-vars-page-type=\"story\" data-vars-link-type=\"Manual\" data-vars-anchor-text=\"Filmy News\">Filmy News<\/a> reported that the occupancy so far is under 5%, with only 3 houseful shows out of 3,600 shows.<\/p>\n<p>     Ikkis box office prediction<\/p>\n<p>Given the advance booking trend, trade is expecting a low start for the Agastya Nanda-starrer. Ikkis looks set to open in the \u20b92 crore net bracket on Thursday domestically. The film does not have great buzz outside India as well, and anything beyond a \u20b93-4 crore worldwide start looks like a bonus for the film.<\/p>\n<p>Even though many single screens have taken away shows from Ranveer Singh\u2019s Dhurandhar for Ikkis, the film, now in its fourth week at the ticket window, is still expected to outperform Ikkis on its opening day. Trade experts estimate Dhurandhar to have a \u20b910+ crore day on January 1, its 28th day in theatres. The five-time haul for Dhurandhar over a new release shows the film\u2019s impeccable hold in the theatres.<\/p>\n<p> All about Ikkis<\/p>\n<p>Ikkis is the story of 2nd Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal, the youngest Param Vir Chakra recipient in history. The film stars Agastya as Arun, and also stars Dharmendra in his final performance. The screen legend died last month, a few weeks short of his 90th birthday. Ikkis releases on January 1 across 4000 screens in India.<\/p>\n<p>        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/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 prediction: Agastya Nanda, Dharmendra film suffers from Dhurandhar rampage, may open at just \u20b92 crore   <\/p>\n<p> See Less <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u20b92 crore&#8221; data-collapse-article=&#8221;false&#8221; &gt; Updated on: Dec 31, 2025 02:56 pm IST Ikkis box office prediction: Agastya Nanda&#8217;s&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":219845,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[67926,82522,93,61,77009,113897,113896,60,270],"class_list":{"0":"post-219844","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-agastya-nanda","9":"tag-dhurandhar","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-ie","12":"tag-ikkis","13":"tag-ikkis-box-office","14":"tag-ikkis-box-office-prediction","15":"tag-ireland","16":"tag-movies"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/219844","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=219844"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/219844\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/219845"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=219844"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=219844"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=219844"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
