Sriram Raghavan’s upcoming film ‘Ikkis’ is special because it is Bollywood’s late Dharmendra’s last film on the big screen. This film will be released in theaters on January 1, but recently a special screening of it was hosted in Mumbai in which many stars participated. Casting director Mukesh Chhabra also saw the film. Later, he shared the review of ‘Ikkis’ on his Twitter handle and also wrote that it was such an emotional experience to see Dharam ji on screen.
How is the first review of ‘Ikkis’?
Sharing the review of ‘Ikkis’, Mukesh Chhabra wrote, “Just watched ‘Ikkis’, a film made entirely from the heart. A gentle, honest story that stays in the heart long after the film is over, Dharmendra sir… What dignity, what depth. If this is your last film, it will be truly heart-touching. You will be missed, sir. And Jaideep Ahlawat – salute to you! I absolutely look forward to it.” It wasn’t, and I was pleased to be surprised.”
After this he praised Agastya Nanda’s acting in the film and wrote, “Agastya Nanda and Simar Bhatia have a warm welcome, both looked very beautiful on screen. Their lovely eyes and charming chemistry were amazing. Agastya’s innocence and honesty really shined. Vivaan Shah and Sikandar Kher’s outstanding work. And above all Sriram Raghavan, the man, the master, once again, sir… once again.” A heart-touching film, a story told with honesty that feels personal.”
