The highly anticipated release of Ikkis, a film directed by Sriram Raghavan, marks a poignant moment for moviegoers. As the last film of legendary actor Dharmendra, who passed away in November 2025, Ikkis offers fans a chance to witness him shine on the big screen one last time. The film, which also marks the theatrical debut of Amitabh Bachchan's grandson Agastya Nanda and Akshay Kumar's niece Simar Bhatia, has received rave reviews from netizens. They praise Dharmendra's performance as Brigadier Madan Lal Khetarpal (Retd.) in the character of Second Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal's father. "Fans are hailing Ikkis as an impressive watch, with many calling it a great tribute to war heroes. One Twitter user noted, 'Ikkis superbly made, great tribute to war heroes... nicely portrayed by all actors... Dharmendra Ji, hats off for screen presence as Father character.' Another fan tweeted, 'Today, I watched #Ikkis, a film that honors two immortal characters - Arun Khetarpal, a 21-year-old who sacrificed his life for the country in the 1971 war, and our beloved Dharmendra Ji, who played a father's role with perfection in his last movie.' "The film's impressive tank sequences and emotional storytelling have also won over fans. A Twitter review read, 'Ikkis captures the rational and emotional aspects of people in the profession of arms perfectly. Away from jingoism, the tank battles, the academy, and the crossing of the water obstacle were a treat to watch.' While some fans are urging others to watch Ikkis in theaters to prevent it from becoming a flop, others are praising the film's unique storytelling. "As the reviews pour in, it's clear that Ikkis is a must-watch for fans of Dharmendra and war movies alike. Will you be watching Ikkis in theaters this week?
