Ikkis Box Office Collection Day 1: Amitabh Bachchan’s grandson, Agastya Nanda, has made his cinematic debut with the film Ikkis. Even before its release, the film was the subject of much discussion, due to the grand debut of a star kid and its basis on a true patriotic story. However, the film’s release was also marked by an emotional turn of events with the news of veteran actor Dharmendra’s passing. Thus, Ikkis became his last film, deeply touching the emotions of the audience. Ikkis is a war-based biopic depicting the life of the brave Indian Army officer, Second Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal. According to initial figures from Sacnilk, the film earned Rs 7 crore on its first day. While this opening is in the single digits, it is considered a respectable start for a new actor’s first theatrical release. Ikkis had an overall 31.94% Hindi Occupancy on Thursday, with 12.09% in the morning show, 35.29% in the afternoon shows, 46.77% in the evening shows, and 33.62% in the night shows.
