Still from Stranger Things

<h2>To obvious - it's an end!&nbsp;</h2><p>Season 5 came with huge expectations, and matching those, this season has fallen short on many aspects. The soul of the show has always been the riskiness that kept the audience on the edge, watching characters escaping alive from the clutches of Demogorgons, Vecna, or any other creatures. However, this season arrived with the fact that it's the end, with everything happening in a linear format, answering all the questions and doubts, and making sure that no characters die, and obviously, a big no to surprises. But they could have tried to make this ending more memorable and thrilling instead of making it so obvious. &nbsp;The last volume leans on the friendship, the bonds, the cries and the tears.</p><h2>What works and what doesn't</h2><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The graph of volume 3 went from high to a sombre tone. Thankfully, it doesn't come with any dull moments, especially in the first hour. Until Vecna is killed, the whole sequence of the giant Mind Flayer and the gang fighting was a treat to watch. The scene that has Vecna being killed and how Joyce (Winona Ryder) takes her years-long fear as a mother out as she brutally hits his head with a flashback of scenes was well-crafted.&nbsp;</p>

<p>However, things felt a little rushed, and the battle was not that wild-wild. But it could have been made longer, eliminating the part of the graduation ceremony.&nbsp;</p><h2>The end of an era…</h2><p>The end of Netflix’s blockbuster series marks the end of an era, and it's understandable why the Duffer Brothers provided the closer that surely didn't leave a lasting impression, but a sense of satisfaction. Understand the emotions of fans who have grown with the cast of the show as well, and they ensured that all their characters are alive and happy.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Jamie Campbell Bower's performance was insane, and I missed Demogorgons.&nbsp;</p>

Stranger Things season 5 is an emotion that can only be understood by the fans, and respecting the feelings of the fandom, the Duffer Brothers have delivered a sweet goodbye.

BTS comeback in 2026: K-pop boy band announces release date, reveal about new album and more

<p>Ikkis is not your typical Sriram Raghavan film, yet you can still find the master storyteller’s signature style throughout the film. Raghavan, who is known for his mystery thrillers and neo-noir films, moves out of genre to make a war drama based on a real-life incident. The result is a beautiful film that not only highlights the valour of Second Lieutenant Arun Kehtarpal during a crucial operation at the fag end of the Indo-Pak war in 1971, but also goes beyond the conversation of war and talks of humanity. &nbsp;The film, starring Dharmendra, Jaideep Ahlawat and Agastya Nanda, revisits a time when hatred was a common emotion between Indian and Pakistan but Raghavan, in his own way, talks about the futility of war and highlights the human side of soldiers on both sides of the border.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>While the theme is pertinent in today’s time and Raghavan’s story is an important one, Ikkis is also special because it is Dharmendra’s last film. The legendary actor, who passed away in November 2025, delivers a restrained performance as a father grieving his young son’s death in the film. The star’s performance leaves a heavy lump in the throat.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h2>Plot of Ikkis</h2><p>Set in two different years, one in 1971, as India goes to war with Pakistan, and the other in 2001, two years after the Kargil war, the film beautifully connects the characters and two plots into one single story. Second Lieutenant&nbsp;Arun Khetarpal gets the news that his course at NDA is being cut short as India is at war with Pakistan. Arun, as part of the Poona Horse regiment, was first trained to man the tank and then was later part of the troop that fought at the&nbsp; Battle of Basantar.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Arun was martyred and received the Paramveer Chakra posthumously. 30 years after the 1971 war, his father, retired Birgadier ML Khetarpal (Dharmendra) visits Pakistan for his college reunion in Lahore and is hosted by one Brigadier Nisaar (Jaideep Ahlawat) at his home during his stay. The retired Brigadier was part of the Pakistan army during the 1971 war and was linked to Arun, a fact that ML Khetarpal is not aware of initially.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>A former Army officer himself, the senior Khetarpal is aware of the futility of war. A victim of partition, he travels back to his home and college in Pakistan, to relive his childhood years once again, unaware that Nisaar wants to confess to him something related to his martyred son.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The film keeps moving between the two stories. One that highlights Arun’s days at NDA, him being the righteous young boy who wants to become a brave Army officer just like his father. The days in training show Arun meeting and falling in love with Kiran(debutant Simar Bhatia), who pushes him to do better.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The other story focuses on ML Khetarpal’s visit to Pakistan, first to Lahore and then to Sargodha, his ancestral home, in 2001, when India and Pakistan, fresh out of the Kargil war, were sceptical of each other even as they were trying to rebuild their bond as two neighbouring states. The film also focuses on the beautiful bond that General Nisaar and ML Khetarpal form over the course of a few days.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h2>The futility of war is highlighted in Ikkis</h2><p>The beauty of Ikkis lies in its poignant moments. The time when ML Khetarpal visits his ancestral home and is warmly hosted by the new occupants of the house. The moments when Arun and Kiran spend together while dating. Arun’s eagerness to prove his worth and be accepted into the army. The moments that Nisar and ML spend in Pakistan- all these add up for a beautiful, insightful story that Ikkis is.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h2>Antidote to Dhurandhar</h2><p>Ikkis comes at a time when the nation, fueled by Dhurandhar's success, is high on emotions of patriotism and hyper masculinity. Ikkis serves as an antidote to all the gore and violence that Dhurandhar propagates.&nbsp;</p><p>It is unfair to compare Raghavan to the director Aditya Dhar. Raghavan is a seasoned filmmaker, known for his gripping, detailed mystery thrillers. Dhar, on the other hand, is relatively new, with just one film in his kitty before Dhurandhar. But both Ikkis and Dhurandhar are similar in theme of patriotism. Both films have Indians fighting against Pakistan. Yet, Ikkis is far superior in its messaging.&nbsp;</p><h2>Ikkis goes beyond war</h2><p>Ikkis goes beyond war and enmity and taps into the emotions of those who suffer post-war. An injured soldier, a grieving father of a martyr, a brave officer who has witnessed gore and death too closely- the aftermath of war is far more grievous and tragic on both sides of the border- and Raghavan’s film highlights these emotions well.&nbsp;</p><p>At one point, Dharmendra tells Ahlawat that it is upon us to stop the war and the hatred across the two nations. And it comes from a man who has lost his young son at the age of 21 to war, killed defending his country. It comes from a man who has had to move out of his home and rebuild a life in a different city from scratch. Hatred should come easily to him, yet he chooses peace.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;</p><h2>Performances</h2><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The film boasts of earnest performances from its actors. Debutant Agastya Nanda plays his part with honesty and brings in the right amount of enthusiasm that's needed for the character. Jaideep Ahlawat plays a kind Pakistani officer who is righteous and wants to make amends. There are Sikander Kher, Vivaan Shah and Rahul Dev who deliver their parts well. Simar Bhatia holds promise.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The film, however, belongs to Dharmendra, who delivers a restrained, emotional performance of a man who has seen too much in life and yet has not given up being hopeful. His scenes with Ahlawat are high on emotions but also the best scenes in the film.&nbsp;</p><h2>Final verdict</h2><p>While Ikkis leave with bitter-sweet feelings about Pakistan, war and enmity, its release is timely. It comes when Bollywood’s sense of patriotism and revenge is more jingoistic than solution-driven. It comes at a time when shouting out loud your love for the country and hatred for Pakistan is considered normal. In such an environment, Ikkis feels like soothing balm. It celebrates the Indian army and its valour, talks of an important chapter in history and yet never sounds jingoistic.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Watch Ikkis for its story, for Raghavan’s cool references to war films and war books of the 1970s, for Agastya Nanda’s earnest performance and Dharmendra’s heartfelt act.&nbsp;</p>

Dharmendra delivers a class act in Sriram Raghavan's latest film, Ikkis, that goes beyond a war and talks of the aftermath of the 1971 war and how people suffer on both sides. It also has newcomer Agastya Nanda delivering an earnest performance as a young, brave army officer.

It has been a month since legendary Indian actor Dharmendra died, but the void is still felt in the film industry. Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan paid a warm and emotional tribute to his friend and co-star of many films, Dharmendra, on the sets of Kaun Banega Crorepati recently. The episode began with a tribute to the veteran star with Big B speaking fondly about his friend and ‘lifelong inspiration. Amitabh pays tribute to Dharmendra on KBC Big B, whose voice was trembling with emotions, spoke fondly of Dharmendra calling him his friend, family and idol. “The film Ikkis is the last precious memento for us, left behind for millions of people. An artist wants to practise art until the very last breath of life, and this is exactly what my friend, my family, and my idol, Mr Dharmendra Deol, did.” His voice softened further as he added, “Mr Dharam was not just a person. He was feeling, and a feeling never lets you go. It becomes a memory, a blessing that keeps you moving forward.” Amitabh shares a Sholay story The two actors worked in several blockbusters together in the 1970s, but Sholay remains one of the highest points of both their careers. On KBC, Big B shared an incident from the sets of Sholay. “We were shooting in Bangalore. He had what I call a physical quality; he was a wrestler, a hero. In the death scene, the agony you saw on screen was real because of the way he held me so tightly that the pain became natural acting.” The anecdote highlighted Dharmendra not just as a cinematic legend but as an instinctive artist who inspired everyone around him. Adding to the tribute, director Sriram Raghavan, who helmed Ikkis, said on KBC, “I am very blessed that he worked in my last film and that his last performance is something he was extraordinarily good at.” Actor Jaideep Ahlawat, also part of the film, echoed these sentiments, sharing, “I was lucky to have most of my scenes with him. On set, it never felt like a superstar was with us; he felt like family.”

Stranger Things is coming to an end, and expectations are sky-high for the final that will premiere on  New Year's Eve. In India, the viewers will watch it on January 1. 

Netflix’s Stranger Things is set in the 1980s, but fans recently noticed a character wearing clothing from a brand that did not exist at the time. This sparked questions among viewers after eagle-eyed fans spotted a modern fashion logo on Holly Wheeler’s outfit in season five, Volume Two. After sharp-eyed viewers pointed out the apparent editing mistake, the makers seem to have quietly corrected it. However, this was not the first editing error fans have noticed in the show. ‘Stranger Things’ fixes editing error During a tense sequence in episode seven of season five, titled “The Bridge,” Holly Wheeler (played by Nell Fisher) is shown trying to escape Vecna’s control while removing the veins covering her. While watching closely, fans noticed the logo of a sportswear brand on the sleeve of her outfit. The series is set in 1988, and the brand visible on Wheeler’s shirt had not yet been founded at that time.
