Ikkis
A determined young officer fights against overwhelming odds to hold a crucial bridge in the 1971 war, while his grieving father confronts the haunting legacy of that battle decades later.
“He was 21, will remain as that.”
Synopsis
Ikkis centers on Second Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal, India's youngest recipient of the Param Vir Chakra, who lost his life defending his battalion and the country during the 1971 Battle of Basantar. The film also explores the futility of war through the perspective of Khetarpal's father, who, 30 years later, visits his ancestral home in Sargodha and his alma mater for a reunion, now located in post-partition Pakistan.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 22
These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
