Ikkis Review

Jan 02, 2026

A still from Hindi film, ‘Ikkis (2026)’. Second Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal (Agastya Nanda) leans out of an army tank, wearing a helmet with goggles over his head and a radio headset, gripping a handset mic as he shouts orders. His face is streaked with dust and a cut near his temple, with a thin line of blood down his cheek; a mounted machine gun dominates the foreground, and a hazy, flame-lit battlefield glows behind him. His tense, braced posture underscore the urgency of combat.

wogma rating: Watch but no rush

quick review: A Hindi war film that points to the futility of war and doesn’t spend all its time glamorising it is a win, even if this one isn’t among the best war films out there.
