Mumbai: Agastya Nanda and Dharmendra’s war drama ‘Ikkis’ hit theatres on January 1, and what has grabbed the attention of netizens is the film’s disclaimer.
“The humane behaviour of Pakistani Brigadier K. M. 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,” reads the disclaimer.
“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,” it adds.
Soon, the disclaimer went viral and netizens drew comparisons between ‘Ikkis’ and ‘Dhurandhar’, as both films are based on patriotism.
Netizens opined that it is due to the massive success of ‘Dhurandhar’, which shows Pakistan in bad light, that the makers of ‘Ikkis’ have thought of this disclaimer to keep movie buffs happy.
As the disclaimer of ‘Ikkis’ surfaced on internet, netizens had a lot to say, with many of them mentioning ‘Dhurandhar’.
One user shared, “I am sure this was added at last moment. Dhurandhar effect.”
Another wrote, “lmao this is Dhurandhar effect. The film makers might have feared people not watching the film due its potrayal of bHaIcHaRa w Pakistan and added this disclaimer as a precaution.”
One netizen claimed, “They really got scared from the Dhurandhar wave, didn’t they? 😂.”
Another person commented, “The only reason this was added is because of public reaction to Dhurandhar. This is all they could muster after making Aman ki Asha type movie. Imagine releasing a movie like this in the year with Pahalgam and its aftermath. We don’t hate these Bollywoodiyas enough.”
A disclaimer is played at the end of Ikkis. It says, Nisar, the character played by Jaideep Ahlawat, "is an exception; Pakistanis are not to be trusted".

After watching #Dhurandhar I don’t think anyone will like movies like #Ikkis which is exactly having opposite approach towards our enemy country #Pakistan.. Where Dhurandhar leaned into aggressive bIoodIust through its acerbic storyteIIing, Ikkis moves in the opposite direction,… pic.twitter.com/y7rOqoK9MN
