US Edition'120 Bahadur': Farhan Akhtar's War Drama Makes History as the First Film to Release Across India's Defence Theatres
The film honors 120 soldiers of the Battle of Rezang La and reaches over 800 defense cinemas, serving 1.5 million active soldiers and families, addressing a 70% underserved audience.
- On November 21, 2025, Farhan Akhtar, actor-producer, will lead the first film to release across India's defence theatres, reaching over 800 cinema halls.
- Directed by Razneesh 'Razy' Ghai, the film dramatizes the 1962 Battle of Rezang La in which 114 of 120 soldiers were killed and is produced by Ritesh Sidhwani, Farhan Akhtar and Amit Chandrra.
- The film's ensemble cast includes Farhan Akhtar, Raashii Khanna, Sparsh Walia, and others, while the trailer emphasizes courage with the line `Main ladey bina haar nahi manna chahta`.
- Spearheaded by PictureTime in partnership with GenSync Brat Media, the rollout will screen exclusively for defence personnel and their families in over 800 defence cinema halls using PictureTime's mobile cinema network.
- Organisers said the early screenings aim to build word-of-mouth three days ahead, with Chaudhary stating, `There are 1.5 million active soldiers and over six million viewers. But only 30 per cent of India's 20-million-strong veteran and family audience has access to defence cinemas. We aim to expand the ecosystem to additionally reach the underserved 70% and we begin with a bang with 120 Bahadur, a film we know will deeply resonate with the forces,' said Chaudhary.
