Excel Entertainment’s 120 Bahadur brings to screen a long-forgotten story from Indian military history. Set in the icy terrain of Ladakh, the film follows 120 soldiers of the 13 Kumaon Regiment who held their position at Rezang La during the 1962 India-China War, outnumbered, surrounded, and determined to stand their ground.
Farhan Akhtar’s 120 Bahadur brings the untold story of Rezang La to the big screen, a battle the army commemorates every year
At the center of the story is Major Shaitan Singh Bhati PVC, who led his men into battle despite overwhelming odds. On 18 November 1962, the soldiers faced over a thousand enemy troops and fought with determination and a strong sense of duty.
It was only three months later that a search party discovered the bodies of the soldiers. Almost all 120 had been martyred, still clutching their rifles, fallen in their trenches, facing the enemy head-on.
It’s a chapter the Indian Army remembers each year. Every November, they honour these bravehearts at the Rezang La War Memorial near Chushul. Yet, outside of military circles, very few civilians truly know the depth of what unfolded that day or the price that was paid.
120 Bahadur aims to bring attention to a long-overlooked chapter of Indian military history. The film tells the story of the 120 soldiers who held their ground at Rezang La during the 1962 India-China War.
Farhan Akhtar plays Major Shaitan Singh Bhati PVC. Directed by Razneesh ‘Razy’ Ghai and produced by Ritesh Sidhwani, Farhan Akhtar (Excel Entertainment), and Amit Chandrra (Trigger Happy Studios), the film is set to release in cinemas on November 21, 2025.
