Ikkis sparks debate over disclaimer mentioning 'not to trust Pakistanis'; post goes viral

The disclaimer in question states, "The humane behaviour of Pakistani Brigadier KM Nisaar 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." The statement aims to clarify that this is not intended to reflect a broader trend and to provide context for Jaideep Ahlawat's character, who is shown as a compassionate Pakistani.

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".

It goes on to say, "They have blatantly and repeatedly violated the Geneva Convention by torturing them. As responsible citizens, we must constantly be vigilant and ready in light of Pakistan's sponsorship of terrorist actions. This note's inclusion has sparked important online conversations about how cross-border ties are portrayed in Indian cinema.

By emphasizing a single act of humanity while underlining larger tensions, the film's methodology aims to balance its narrative. Some viewers have seen this as an attempt to make sure viewers comprehend the film's stance and to prevent making generalizations about the entire country based on a single figure.

All about the film Ikkis

Ikkis debuted in theaters alongside Dhurandhar, which starred Ranveer Singh and Akshaye Khanna. Even though the Aditya Dhar-directed movie has been airing since December 5, parallels between the two movies soon surfaced, particularly as they both deal with nationalistic themes and the Indian Army and the nation's disputes with Pakistan.

The films' portrayal of India's history and military conflicts unites them despite their disparate plots. Social media users have debated the movies' themes and the directors' decisions in great detail.

Ikkis has made Rs 22.5 crore at the box office in its first four days. The Sriram Raghavan-directed film made Rs 7.28 crore on Thursday, Rs 4.02 crore on Friday, Rs 5.05 crore on Saturday, and Rs 5.70 crore on its debut Sunday, according to the production team.

The discussion concerning movies that portray delicate historical and political topics has taken on a new dimension as a result of the attention that the disclaimer and its message have received. The reaction demonstrates how viewers are still interested in both the artistic decisions made by filmmakers and the contemporary problems they depict.
