The Reunion Everyone’s Talking About
For fans of 90s Bollywood, this one’s nostalgic — Sunny Deol and Akshaye Khanna last shared screen space in the 1997 war drama Border, still remembered as a cult classic decades later. That 29-year gap is exactly why Ikka has generated so much curiosity.
Should You Watch It?
If you enjoy courtroom dramas driven by performances rather than plot twists, Ikka might still work for you — several reviewers flagged the courtroom exchanges as a genuine high point. If you’re looking for a tightly written thriller, though, expectations might need adjusting.
