Ikkis song 'Tera Aashiq' will break your heart quietly: A tune for 'when love waits and duty calls'

Maddock Films continues to deepen the emotional world of Ikkis with the release of its newest song, Tera Aashiq. After the warmth of Sitaare and the stirring spirit of Bann Ke Dikha Ikkis, this track arrives as a quiet, heartfelt reflection on love that survives distance and sacrifice. It is tender, restrained, and heavy with feeling, much like the story the film wants to tell. While earlier tracks focused on pride, hope, and youthful courage, this song brings vulnerability to the forefront.

A Song That Speaks Through Silence

Tera Aashiq captures the inner conflict of a soldier who chooses duty over personal happiness, without turning away from love. The emotion sits softly between the notes, especially in the line that defines the song’s soul: love that stays alive even when two people are far apart. Sung with deep sensitivity by Master Saleem and Madhubanti Bagchi, the track feels intimate and honest. Irshad Kamil’s lyrics avoid loud declarations and instead lean into restraint, longing, and quiet strength.

Trailer Moments, Cast, and Release Details

The recently released trailer further builds anticipation by blending military action with personal storytelling. It traces the journey of Arun Khetarpal, showing his bond with family and his unwavering sense of responsibility. One of the most powerful moments comes from Dharmendra’s character, who speaks about Arun remaining “ikkis” forever, a line that has already left a strong impact on viewers.

Ikkis features an impressive cast led by Dharmendra, alongside Agastya Nanda, Simar Bhatia, and Jaideep Ahlawat. Inspired by the life of war hero Arun Khetarpal, the film is set to release in cinemas on 1 January 2026. Produced by Maddock Films, it will be distributed internationally by Yash Raj Films, marking another successful collaboration between Dinesh Vijan’s banner and YRF’s global distribution arm.

As 2025 moves toward a patriotic finish, Ikkis stands out as a film that balances courage with compassion. With Tera Aashiq, it reminds us that behind every uniform is a heart that loves deeply, even from afar.
