Ikkis collected Rs. 1.25 crore on its first Monday, registering a drop of 60 per cent from Friday. The collections were already low on Friday, and on top of that, this is a steep drop. The running total of Ikkis has reached Rs. 19 crore net in India in its five days of theatrical run.
The Agastya Nanda movie fared poorly on the weekend itself, registering ordinary trends and failing to show the required growth, and now it has gone to very low levels. This significant dip on Monday hints towards its theatrical end soon. There will be some collections due to discount day tomorrow, due to affordable ticket prices, but nothing miraculous can be expected from here on. Ikkis is looking to surrender in its opening week only, which is likely to be around Rs. 21 crore to Rs. 22 crore net at the Indian box office.
Besides Agastya Nanda, Ikkis also marks the acting debut of Simar Bhatia, the niece of Akshay Kumar. Directed by Sriram Raghavan, the military drama opened to mixed reviews along with criticism of its narrative, which eventually affected its overall box office potential. Ikkis will lose most of its showcasing to new releases in its second weekend. Had the movie recorded better trends and word-of-mouth, it would have had a chance in the long run.
The first film of the year hasn’t done well, but then there used to be a belief in the industry that the first release of the year does not work. That, of course, is merely a superstition and not the reason why this film, or others in the past, failed to succeed. Nevertheless, Ikkis now joins that list.
The Box Office Collections of Ikkis in India are as follows:
