Ikka story (no spoilers)
Ikka is a Hindi drama-thriller centred on Arjun Mehra (Sunny Deol), a celebrated lawyer whose life is upended when someone he loves faces a life-threatening situation. To save that person, Arjun must defend Shouryaman Gaur (Akshaye Khanna), a man he strongly suspects is guilty. As the trial proceeds, Arjun is forced to battle his own conscience at every turn, torn between his duty as an advocate and his personal conviction that he is fighting for the wrong side. The film also features Madhura Banerjee (Tillotama Shome), Avantika Mehra (Dia Mirza), Gauri Gaur (Sanjeeda Sheikh), Soma Mittal (Akansha Ranjan Kapoor) and Harshvardhan Gaur (Shishir Sharma) in key roles. Directed by Siddharth P. Malhotra, with music by Mithoon, Ikka runs 141 minutes and carries a U/A 16+ certificate. Its tagline, 'Some trials don't end in court,' hints at the moral conflict at the heart of the story. The tone is tense and dramatic, focusing on the ethical dilemma of a lawyer who must choose between a loved one's safety and his own sense of justice.

Our verdict
Ikka pairs Sunny Deol and Akshaye Khanna in a drama-thriller about a lawyer defending a man he suspects is guilty. The 141-minute runtime and U/A 16+ rating point to a serious, dialogue-heavy film. It is a solid pick if you enjoy moral conflicts and courtroom drama, but not if you want light entertainment.
