New Delhi, Jan. 1 -- Sriram Raghavan's 'Ikkis', the final role of superstar Dharmendra and the debut of Agastya Nanda, has garnered a lot of praise from social media users who have called the movie an emotional rollercoaster.

In the movie, Agastya portrays Arun Khetarpal, the youngest recipient of the Param Vir Chakra in history. He was killed during the 1971 India-Pakistan war at the age of 21.

The war drama movie, which also features Jaideep Ahlawat, was released in theatres on 1 January 2026.

Film critic Rahul Desai deemed Ikkis a 'wistful hug,' and said, "Sriram Raghavan is a national treasure. I fell in love with Ikkis, a wistful hug of a film that audits the patterns of chest-thumping war biopics."
