120 Bahadur, directed by Razneesh ‘Razy’ Ghai and produced by Excel Entertainment and Trigger Happy Studios, brings to life the legendary Battle of Rezang La, fought on 18 November 1962 during the Sino-Indian War. The film stars Farhan Akhtar as Major Shaitan Singh, posthumously awarded the Param Vir Chakra for his valor, and Raashii Khanna as Shagun Kanwar, his wife. The story follows the courage of 120 Ahir soldiers from Charlie Company, 13 Kumaon Regiment, who held their post against a 3,000-strong Chinese army, inflicting over 1,300 casualties despite overwhelming odds.
The screening in Mumbai took place on 20 November 2025, ahead of the film’s theatrical release on 21 November 2025. The film is set to also feature at the Gala Premiere section of the 56th International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa on the same day, underscoring its significance in Indian cinema and history.
Social media reactions and reviews have highlighted the film’s technical brilliance, with audiences praising the cinematography, background score, and the emotional depth brought to Major Shaitan Singh’s story. Veterans of the Indian Army have particularly lauded the authenticity and reverence with which the battle was portrayed, bridging historical education with cinematic storytelling.
With its compelling narrative, meticulous direction, and star-studded ensemble, 120 Bahadur stands as both a tribute to India’s war heroes and a cinematic achievement. The special screening underscored how Indian cinema continues to honor bravery and national pride while celebrating its own creative community.
