Mumbai, January 3 — Ikkis, the period war drama starring Agastya Nanda and veteran actor Dharmendra, is witnessing a modest run at the domestic box office. As the film enters Day 3, early trade estimates indicate a slight upward trend driven by weekend footfalls.
According to preliminary figures, Ikkis is expected to collect ₹3–3.5 crore net in India on Day 3, showing marginal growth compared to its opening days. While the numbers remain on the lower side, the weekend advantage has helped the film stabilise after a subdued start.
Opening Weekend Performance
By the end of its third day, Ikkis is estimated to have earned ₹7.5–8 crore net at the Indian box office. The film’s performance has been relatively better in select urban centres and multiplex chains, while mass circuits continue to show limited traction.
Trade analysts attribute the restrained collections to strong competition from holdover releases and the film’s niche subject matter, which caters more to a content-driven audience than the mass market.
Audience Response & Trends
Despite modest box office numbers, Ikkis has received appreciation for its performances and emotional depth, particularly the on-screen presence of Dharmendra. Word of mouth is gradually building, though it remains to be seen whether it can translate into sustained weekday growth.
Occupancy levels are expected to dip slightly from Monday onwards, making the film’s hold during the weekdays crucial for its long-term theatrical prospects.
Box Office Outlook
While Ikkis is unlikely to register big numbers, industry observers suggest that a steady run combined with controlled costs could help the film achieve a respectable lifetime total. Its box office fate will largely depend on weekday trends and audience retention in the coming days.
Final Day 3 figures will be confirmed once official trade data is released.
