The war biographical film Ikkis is now available to stream in India and over 200 countries. Directed by National Award-winning filmmaker Sriram Raghavan, the movie tells the extraordinary story of Arun Khetarpal, India’s youngest Param Vir Chakra awardee.
Arun Khetarpal was only 21 years old when he displayed unmatched bravery during the Battle of Basantar in the 1971 Indo-Pak War. His courage and sacrifice earned him the Param Vir Chakra posthumously. The film captures his short but heroic life, bringing both action and emotion to the screen.
Stellar Performances by the Cast
Agastya Nanda plays the lead role of Arun Khetarpal and has received wide appreciation for his performance. Critics have praised his ability to portray both courage and humanity on screen.
The film also features the legendary Dharmendra in what is said to be one of his final on-screen appearances. His performance is described as heartfelt and adds significant emotional depth to the movie. Other actors like Jaideep Ahlawat, Simar Bhatia, Rahul Dev, and Sikandar Kher deliver strong performances, making the story even more engaging.
Simar Bhatia, a debutant, shows confidence and natural ease, while Sikandar Kher makes a notable impression even in a smaller role. Rahul Dev leaves a lasting mark, and Vivaan Shah adds charm to his character. Together, the cast ensures the story of Arun Khetarpal is told with both respect and intensity.

The movie honors the bravery of Indian soldiers while celebrating Dharmendra’s legacy in Hindi cinema. It successfully balances historical events with personal stories, giving the audience both action and emotion.
