Released on January 1, 2026, Ikkis arrived with emotional weight and high expectations. The film marks the big-screen debut of Agastya Nanda, Amitabh Bachchan’s grandson, and also serves as the final on-screen appearance of late veteran actor Dharmendra — a fact that added both curiosity and sentiment to its release.
Now ten days into its theatrical run, Ikkis has experienced a mixed box office journey. While the film entered its second week on a softer note, Saturday brought a modest recovery, even as it continues to battle stiff competition from major releases like Dhurandhar and The Raja Saab.
Ikkis Day 10 Box Office Collection
As per early estimates shared by Sacnilk, Ikkis collected ₹1.20 crore on its second Saturday (Day 10). This slight jump came after a weak Friday, where the film dipped below the ₹1 crore mark and earned ₹85 lakh.
With these figures, the film’s total box office collection now stands at ₹27.55 crore, inching closer to the ₹30 crore milestone. While the growth is incremental, it indicates that the film is still managing to find an audience despite crowded screens and declining show counts.
Day-Wise Box Office Performance So Far
Here’s how Ikkis has performed across its first ten days:
- Day 1 (Thursday): ₹7 crore
- Day 2 (Friday): ₹3.5 crore
- Day 3 (Saturday): ₹4.65 crore
- Day 4 (Sunday): ₹5 crore
- Day 5 (Monday): ₹1.35 crore
- Day 6 (Tuesday): ₹1.6 crore
- Day 7 (Wednesday): ₹1.15 crore
- Day 8 (Thursday): ₹1.25 crore
Week 1 Total: ₹25.5 crore
- Day 9 (Friday): ₹0.85 crore
- Day 10 (Saturday): ₹1.20 crore (early estimates)
Total Collection: ₹27.55 crore
The numbers clearly reflect a front-loaded opening, followed by expected weekday drops and a small second-weekend rebound.
Day 10 Occupancy Report
On Saturday, Ikkis recorded an overall Hindi occupancy of 25.16%. Evening and night shows performed better than morning slots, suggesting that the film is relying on word of mouth and selective footfalls rather than mass rush.
Region-wise, Chennai, Hyderabad, and Bengaluru emerged as the strongest markets in terms of audience turnout, indicating steady interest in metro centres.
What Ikkis Is About
Set during the 1971 India–Pakistan war, Ikkis focuses on the Battle of Basantar, one of the most decisive military operations in Indian history. Agastya Nanda portrays Second Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal, the youngest recipient of the Param Vir Chakra, India’s highest military honour, which was awarded to him posthumously.
The film blends battlefield action with emotional storytelling, highlighting courage, sacrifice, and the cost of war.
Final Words
At the end of Day 10, Ikkis may not be setting the box office on fire, but it is holding its ground with dignity. With intense competition from large-scale entertainers and action-driven spectacles, its journey has been far from easy.
Whether the film can push past the ₹30 crore mark will depend on weekday stability and how long it manages to retain screens. Regardless of numbers, Ikkis stands out for its subject, emotional resonance, and historical importance — making it a quiet, respectful presence amid a loud box office battle.
