Sriram Raghavan Reflects on Audience Response to War Drama 'Ikkis' After OTT Release

Director Sriram Raghavan expressed surprise at the muted audience response to his war drama 'Ikkis', which portrays the life of Param Vir Chakra recipient Arun Khetarpal during the 1971 India-Pakistan War. Despite positive critical reviews and approval from military personnel, the film did not attract large theatrical audiences. Raghavan hopes the film gains wider viewership following its release on Prime Video and acknowledged challenges in the current film industry landscape.
