Ikkis

Ikkis (2026) is an Indian war drama you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Sriram Raghavan. It follows a boy who marched off to the front at twenty-one and never came home.

The film centers on Arun Khetarpal, a young second lieutenant killed during the armoured clash at Basantar in December 1971. He would become the youngest soldier ever given the Param Vir Chakra, India's highest military honour, granted after his death. A second thread belongs to his father, who decades later travels back to the town where his son once studied and served — now sitting on the far side of the partition line, inside Pakistan. Dharmendra, Jaideep Ahlawat and Agastya Nanda anchor the past-and-present structure.

Raghavan, better known for twisty thrillers, plays this one quiet and raw — less about the battle than about what it costs the people left behind. One for viewers who want a war film without the chest-thumping. Stream Ikkis (2026) online on iFILM.
