Rishab Shetty unveils Hindi trailer

Kantara star Rishab Shetty unveiled Shambhala’s Hindi trailer. The development marks a significant step towards reaching out to the broader audiences. Also, this is the first time Aadi Saikumar’s film will hit the screens in the Hindi belt. Expressing his excitement, Aadi shares that he is looking forward to the Hindi release.

“Shambhala is an interesting blend of science, faith, and mythology. The writing effectively builds mood and takes the audiences to the edge-of-the-seat. These aspects have worked big time in our favour. We are hoping that the interesting elements in the film will capture the Hindi audience’s attention too.” The actor, who made a strong comeback with Shambhala, shares that the film is also a first-of-its-kind genre to him. “At a time when I was looking for a rooted story, I came across the Shambhala script. I okayed it in the first sitting as I was intrigued with the plotline and set up.” Director Ugandhar was appreciated for picking up a story that has mythological and contemporary significance.

Karan Johar Canât Stop Praising Agastya Nandaâs Theatrical Debut in Ikkis

Filmmaker Karan Johar has penned a note of appreciation for Sriram Raghavan’s latest release, Ikkis. It marks Agastya Nanda and Simar Bhatia’s theatrical debuts and also stars Jaideep Ahlawat and late actor Dharmendra. KJo called the film a love letter to peace and said that he was emotional watching Dharmendra on screen. He also praised Agastya for his performance.
Karan’s note read, “IKKIS is a love letter to peace… an honestly and earnestly told story about the absolute redundancy of war….i was so moved by so many moments of the film … it silently screams … and that’s where Sriram Raghavan gets it so right… i was moist eyed every time Dharamji was on screen…. He has the most towering screen presence and yet  can be so gentle and your heart goes out to his immensely dignified portrayal of a grieving father …. @jaideepahlawat proves time and again what an outstanding force of nature he is…he is ROCK SOLID!! (sic)”

He continued, “Agastya Nanda is OUTSTANDING as the 21 year old Arun Khetarpal… his  endearing innocence , silent resolve and eventual climax break out proves his metal as an artist… was so  proud and excited to see him emerge as such a sincere and solid actor… can’t wait to see his journey unfold… Kudos to Dinoo and @maddockfilms for supporting this brave and new take on a war film….(sic)”
The filmmaker also urged people to watch the film.

Filmfare’s Review of Ikkis
Filmfare’s reviewer gave the film 4 out of 5 stars and wrote, “All war films, when honest, are essentially anti-war films. Ikkis is another reminder of that truth. Though it recounts one of India’s most heroic wartime chapters, it is never interested in chest-thumping or spectacle for its own sake. Reality, after all, hits harder than fiction. The film traces the life and death of 2nd Lt. Arun Khetarpal, who was just 21 when he laid down his life on December 16, 1971, at the Battle of Basantar, one of the largest tank battles since World War II. Serving with the 17 Poona Horse, Arun destroyed ten Pakistani tanks before a shell ended his life. Raghavan stages these sequences with grit and restraint, placing the viewer inside the chaos rather than above it. The tank warfare, much like Pippa (2023), is detailed, immersive, and sobering. But Ikkis finds its deepest resonance away from the battlefield. Dharmendra’s Madan Lal Khetarpal belongs to a generation shaped by Partition, men who saw displacement, loss, and fractured identities up close. Born in 1935, Dharmendra would have witnessed those horrors as a child, and that memory seems to seep into his performance.”
