Farhan Akhtar's latest war drama 120 Bahadur has crossed the Rs 10 crore-mark after four days of release. On its fourth day, the film, directed by Razneesh Ghai, had added over Rs 11 lakhs across India, according to Sacnilk. The film showed a promising start, minting Rs 2.25 crore on its opening day, with its revenue increasing through the weekend. 120 Bahadur collected Rs 10 crore in its first weekend (Rs 2.25 crore on Friday, Rs 3.85 crore on Saturday and Rs 4 crore on Sunday). On Monday, the film witnessed a drastic dip to Rs 11 lakhs, which could be attributed to poor word-of-mouth and critical reviews.
Our CE review of the film read, "120 Bahadur is what Lakshya refused to reduce itself to. It’s so by the book that it feels like a manual on how to make war films. Watching it is like listening to a battle story from your grandfather who heard it from his ex-army friend. It seems generic and is told without any feeling or conviction. Like a second-hand experience."
120 Bahadur brings to life the incredible bravery of 120 Indian soldiers from the 13 Kumaon Regiment, who fought with unshakable spirit in the iconic Battle of Rezang La during the 1962 Sino-Indian war. Farhan plays the role of Major Shaitan Singh Bhati, PVC, the fearless leader who, along with his men, stood firm against overwhelming odds in one of the most heroic chapters of India’s military history.
The film is produced by Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan under Excel Entertainment, and Amit Chandrra under Trigger Happy Studios.
