Sriram Raghavan’s ‘Ikkis’ is being praised for its restrained and nuanced take on the true story of war. It shows Agastya Nanda as Arun Khetarpal and late actor Dharmendra as his father. The film also stars Jaideep Ahlawat as Brigadier KM Nisaar.
Filmmaker Karan Johar has now praised the film and how it essays the futility and redundancy of war. Praising the film on his Instagram post, Johar wrote- “IKKIS is a love letter to peace… an honestly and earnestly told story about the absolute redundancy of war….i was so moved by so many moments of the film … it silently screams … and that’s where Sriram Raghavan gets it so right… i was moist eyed everytime Dharamji was on screen….”
The filmmaker added, “
@jaideepahlawat proves time and again what an outstanding force of nature he is…he is ROCK SOLID!!
Agastya Nanda is OUTSTANDING as the 21 year old Arun Khetarpal… his endearing innocence , silent resolve and eventual climax break out proves his metal as an artist… was so proud and excited to see him emerge as such a sincere and solid actor… can’t wait to see his journey unfold… welcome to the movies.”
Brigadier KM Nisaar– An exceptional incident
The disclaimer in the beginning of the movie states: “The humane behaviour of Pakistani Brigadier KM Sisar is only an exceptional incident. Otherwise, our neighbouring country is not trustworthy at all. Pakistan’s armies, both during war and in times of peace, have behaved very cruelly and inhumanely with our soldiers and citizens.”
It further reads, “In torturing them, they have repeatedly and openly violated the Geneva Convention. Considering the terrorist activities sponsored by Pakistan, as responsible citizens, we must always remain alert and prepared.”
