Sriram Raghavan's war drama 'Ikkis' centers on Second Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal, India's youngest Param Vir Chakra recipient during the 1971 Indo-Pak War. The film, starring Agastya Nanda as Khetarpal and Dharmendra as his father, explores themes of courage, sacrifice, and the human cost of war. Reviews highlight Nanda's sincere performance and Dharmendra's emotional portrayal, while noting Raghavan's departure from his usual thrillers. The movie is praised for its sensitive approach, avoiding jingoism and focusing on empathy, though some critics found the narrative uneven.
