The war drama “120 Bahadur,” depicting the heroic stand of 120 Indian soldiers during the Battle of Rezang La in the 1962 Sino-Indian War, is set to release in theaters on November 21, 2025. Recently screened for Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi, the film received praise for its emotional resonance and tribute to the soldiers’ valor. The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has cleared the film without any cuts, and the filmmakers plan a strategic rollout across select theaters to cater to an audience interested in grounded storytelling. Amidst some controversy, including a public interest litigation from the Sanyukt Ahir Regiment Morcha, the production has confirmed that all 120 soldiers involved in the battle will be credited in the film, addressing concerns regarding the recognition of the Ahir community’s sacrifices. The film’s portrayal of Major Shaitan Singh Bhati has sparked debate on the representation of collective versus individual heroism, underscoring the significance of preserving historical narratives in Indian cinema while recognizing the contributions of all soldiers.
