Set against the backdrop of the 1971 Indo-Pak War, the film follows Arun\u2019s journey from his early days in military training to the battlefield, highlighting his courage, patriotism, and ultimate sacrifice at the age of just 21.<\/p>\n<p>Agastya plays Khetarpal in the film, while screen legend Dharmendra appears as his father in his final performance. Dharmendra died a little over a month before the film\u2019s release. Ikkis is directed by Sriram Raghavan and backed by Maddock Films.<\/p>\n<p>As per the Hindustan Times <a class=\"backlink\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hindustantimes.com\/entertainment\/bollywood\/ikkis-review-dharmendra-is-the-beating-heart-of-this-biopic-on-arun-khetarpal-which-moves-you-more-than-you-expect-101767244137624.html\" data-vars-page-type=\"story\" data-vars-link-type=\"Manual\" data-vars-anchor-text=\"review\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">review<\/a> of the film, Ikkis \u201cworks best when it stops trying to be a war film and becomes a painful reminder.
