Ikkis (transl. Twenty One) is a 2026 Indian Hindi-language biographical war drama film directed and co-written by Sriram Raghavan. It is co-produced by Dinesh Vijan, Binny Padda, Sharada Karki Jalota, and Poonam Shivdasani under Maddock Films. It stars Agastya Nanda in his theatrical debut, Dharmendra in his final film role & also Asrani in a posthumous appearance, and Jaideep Ahlawat and Simar Bhatia. It is based on the life of Arun Khetarpal, the youngest recipient of the Param Vir Chakra award, and centered around the Battle of Basantar during the 1971 India–Pakistan War. The film's title is in reference to the age at which Arun Khetarpal attained martyrdom.
Ikkis was scheduled to release theatrically on 25 December 2025, however it was postponed to 1 January 2026. It received positive reviews from critics but emerged as a commercial failure at the box-office.
