Yash Sharma rated it
I went in expecting the usual patriotic hype but it actually had some real emotional depth. The non-linear timeline thing was actually smart, not confusing at all. The tank battles had some hype moments too. My main issue is it still follows those conventional training montage and romance beats that feel kinda generic. Like, we've seen this before in other war films. But the ending with the father's story across borders? That hit different. It actually made me think about the futility of war instead of just cheering for one side.

Bro this movie had no business being this emotional. I went in thinking it's just another desi war film with loud action and 'Bharat Mata ki Jai'. But nah, Raghvan sir cooked something different. The way he mixed timelines had my brain doing backflips. Agastya Nanda's debut was actually fire, and Dharmendra ji's final role made me feel things I didn't sign up for. The ending where the Pakistani commander confesses? That hit different. The tank battles were lit though, proper goosebumps. Only thing is, the training montages and romance bits felt a bit 'seen this before'. But overall, it's a solid watch. Made me think, and I don't usually do that. Respect.

This film handles the 1971 Battle of Basantar with genuine respect for the era. The tank tactics shown are historically accurate, which I really appreciate. Agastya Nanda captures Arun Khetarpal's youth and determination perfectly. The non-linear structure connecting his father's 2001 Pakistan visit adds emotional depth without becoming jingoistic. Dharmendra's final performance is powerful. Some parts feel conventional, like the training montages, but the overall message about war's futility hits hard. The attention to military details makes this stand out from typical war films.

This movie is powerful. The stunts and tank battles are straight fire. Seeing Arun's journey from training to becoming a beast in the battlefield is motivating. The physique transformation and dedication are next level. The action scenes make you want to hit the gym harder. The emotional ending hits different though, makes you think about the real sacrifice. Overall a solid watch for anyone who respects power and dedication.

Ikkis is one of those movies that hits you right in the feels. The action scenes were seriously intense, especially the tank battles. Agastya Nanda killed it in his debut role, and seeing Dharmendra sir on screen was emotional. Loved how the story flipped between timelines without getting confusing. The ending was super powerful and made me think about war in a different way. Definitely worth watching.
Vikram Singh rated it
Bhai, picture ka action aur tank battle scenes ek number the. BGM faad tha, pure theatre mein maza aagaya. Agastya Nanda ka acting bhi solid tha. Par kabhi kabhi lagta hai thoda slow ho jaata hai, jab romance aur training wale scenes aate hai. Usmein thoda bore ho jaate hai. Lekin climax mein jo scene hai, woh emotional bhi tha aur powerful bhi. Overall, ek solid war movie hai. Worth watching for the action parts alone.
