Amitabh Bachchan’s grandson Agastya Nanda makes his theatrical debut in Ikkis, a biographical war drama centered on Second Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal. The film also marks the posthumous appearance of Bollywood legend Dharmendra and has surpassed expectations on its opening day. Here’s a look at the day 1 box office collection!

According to official figures, Ikkis earned ₹7.28 crores net at the Indian box office on day 1. Directed by Sriram Raghavan, the film faces tough competition from Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar, which still commands the highest screen count. Nevertheless, Ikkis has delivered a strong performance, outperforming Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday’s Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri Tu.

The holiday season was expected to boost collections, but the biographical war drama has truly exceeded expectations. The emotional appeal of seeing the late Dharmendra on screen for the last time also resonates with audiences. Including GST, the film’s gross earnings stand at ₹8.59 crores.

708% Higher Than Agastya Nanda and Dharmendra’s Combined Salary!

Though unconfirmed officially, Ikkis is believed to have a budget of around ₹60 crores. Agastya Nanda’s rumored fee is ₹70 lakhs, while Dharmendra is said to have been paid ₹20 lakhs, totaling ₹90 lakhs. With a day 1 net of ₹7.28 crores, the film’s opening is an impressive 708% higher than their combined remuneration!

With the first weekend approaching, positive word-of-mouth suggests an upward box office trajectory. Sriram Raghavan’s Ikkis could emerge as Bollywood’s first big surprise of 2026. If it continues to hold its ground against Dhurandhar, the film has a clear path to strong earnings ahead of Border 2’s release on January 23. Now, look at the box office summary of day 1 for the film,
