Ikka

"Sunny Deol-Akshaye Khanna's courtroom drama loses to melodrama, teary mothers and dialoguebaazi."

"Ikka keeps you guessing; the twists never feel forced. Definitely a weekend watchlist winner"

"Ikka is a courtroom drama where Sunny Deol leads with rhetoric rather than punches. The biggest strength of Ikka lies in its central premise—an upright lawyer defending someone he despises is both a legal dilemma and a deeply human one. However, the film spends far too much time telling us who its characters are instead of allowing us to discover them ourselves, with emotional investment suffering because audiences are constantly being briefed instead of immersed."

"Ikka squanders a promising courtroom thriller with weak writing and an overreliance on star power. Instead, it leaves you wondering how a film with Sunny Deol and Akshaye Khanna ended up feeling this ordinary."

"Sunny Deol, Akshaye Khanna courtroom thriller is two decades late"

"IKKA rests on the star power of Sunny Deol and Akshaye Khanna."

"Ikka unfolds like a quintessential '90s courtroom potboiler, often at odds with Netflix's contemporary sensibilities. Morality takes centre stage in this overly dramatic courtroom drama."

"On paper, Ikka might have looked fantastic, but it is very ignorantly pulled off. By the end, the film looks desperate to explain its twists and turns since they lose poorly despite having a trail of Aces in Sunny Deol, Akshaye Khanna, and Tillotama Shome!"

"By the time Ikka reaches its overblown finale, complete with a redundant trick ending, the verdict becomes clear: Melodrama wins, logic loses. The film rarely trusts the strength of that premise, and instead of allowing courtroom arguments to generate tension organically, the film insists on hammering every point home with relentless background score."

"It is an uneven ride. While the penultimate twist lands with genuine surprise because it relies on intellect, hidden motives, and a clever manipulation of the facts, the final touch, however, is more about maintaining the image of Sunny as the undisputed ace as the makers abandon complex logic to ensure his character stands tall, vindicated, and emotionally triumphant."
