Ikkis – Day 1 Advance Booking Report: Controlled Start, Content-Driven Opening Eyeing ₹3 Cr+/-
Ikkis, starring Dharmendra and Agastya Nanda along with a strong ensemble cast, heads into its release with measured but encouraging advance booking trends, clearly indicating a film that is banking on content and word-of-mouth rather than hype-driven pre-sales.
As per the latest available data, Ikkis has sold approximately 25000 tickets across national multiplex chains (PVR INOX + Cinepolis) for Day 1. While the advances are not aggressive, they remain decent and respectable for a film positioned around mature storytelling and audience-driven growth.
The advance pattern suggests that Ikkis is expected to rely heavily on spot bookings and walk-ins, particularly in family-centric markets, metro centres, and select mass pockets. Films in this space traditionally see limited pre-booking traction but tend to pick up pace through the day if audience response clicks.
Trade feedback indicates that with reasonable on-ground momentum and a healthy post-noon occupancy rise, Ikkis is comfortably placed to target an opening in the ₹3 crore nett (+/-) range on Day 1 at the Indian box office.
When compared to similar mid-scale, content-led releases, the current advance trend is well within expected lines, with the real test beginning once audience reactions start pouring in. Positive word-of-mouth could help the film show meaningful growth over the weekend.
Overall, Ikkis enters release day without excessive expectations but with a fair chance to build through audience appreciation, especially among multiplex viewers and older demographics.
