Randeep Hooda Salutes 120 Bahadur: A Powerful Trib…

When Randeep Hooda took to his X profile and dropped the striking poster of 120 Bahadur, the internet didn’t just get a new movie highlight — it got a heartfelt salute to heroism. His message was enthusiastic, emotional, and wonderfully raw: “What a story to tell, and told so well. A very moving film of bonding, sacrifice and incredible bravery!! Hats off to @FarOutAkhtar and the rest of the stellar cast.” You could almost hear the pride between the lines, especially with his ringing “Dada Kishan ki jai.”

 

120 Bahadur has clearly hit a chord, and Hooda’s endorsement makes it feel even more personal. The film centers on the legendary stand of 120 soldiers from Charlie Company of the 13th Kumaon Regiment during the 1962 Battle of Rezang La — a story full of extraordinary courage. In sub-zero Ladakh, these men held the line against overwhelming odds, facing 3,000 enemy troops and still inflicting massive damage despite losing most of their own. It’s the kind of real-life tale that doesn’t need embellishment; it already sounds like it was written for cinema.

 

Farhan Akhtar leads the narrative with a performance viewers are calling restrained, respectful, and deeply felt. According to early reactions, he brings Major Shaitan Singh to life without theatrics — just raw humanity. Director Razneesh Ghai appears to have leaned into authenticity too, using the stark Himalayan backdrop to amplify both the beauty and brutality of war. Together, cast and crew seem to have crafted something that feels like both a film and a memorial.

 

What’s refreshing is how 120 Bahadur avoids turning the story into chest-thumping spectacle. Instead, early watchers describe it as a tribute to camaraderie — the bond between men who stood together when the world was collapsing around them. With reviewers handing out 3–4 star ratings, it looks like the movie is being embraced not just for its visuals, but for its heart.

 

Randeep Hooda’s post sums up the sentiment perfectly. It’s not just praise from one actor to another — it’s a recognition of a story long overdue for the spotlight. His congratulations to Farhan Akhtar, Razneesh Ghai, the cast, and the entire creative team echo what many feel: some stories deserve to be told, retold, and remembered. And 120 Bahadur is one of them.
