Farhan Akhtar struck an emotional chord on social media as he unveiled a powerful new poster of 120 Bahadur, marking 63 years since the legendary Battle of Rezang La. In his caption, he recalled the extraordinary courage displayed on 18 November 1962, when 120 Indian soldiers of the 13 Kumaon Regiment, led by Major Shaitan Singh, stood their ground at 16,000 feet against nearly 3,000 Chinese soldiers. With the film just three days away from release, Akhtar’s tribute serves as both remembrance and celebration of unparalleled bravery.
The poster, featuring Farhan in full military gear against a harsh, icy battlefield, reflects the grit and sacrifice of the real soldiers who fought in one of the most heroic last stands in Indian military history. The bilingual artwork amplifies the film’s pan-India appeal, portraying a glimpse of the intense wartime atmosphere that audiences can expect on the big screen.
Directed by Razneesh ‘Razy’ Ghai, 120 Bahadur brings to life the story of Major Shaitan Singh Bhati, who was posthumously awarded the Param Vir Chakra for his extraordinary leadership and bravery. Farhan Akhtar steps into this towering role, while Raashii Khanna plays Shagun Kanwar, offering an emotional layer that explores the family side of wartime sacrifice.
Produced by Excel Entertainment and Trigger Happy Studios, the film not only honours a defining chapter of the Sino-Indian War but also introduces a new generation to the story behind one of India’s most inspiring military victories. Adding to the excitement, 120 Bahadur is set to premiere in the Gala section of the 56th International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa on the same day as its theatrical release.
120 Bahadur releases in cinemas on 21 November 2025, promising a visually gripping and emotionally stirring homage to the real heroes of Rezang La.
