The teaser of the Farhan Akhtar and Raashii Khanna starrer war-drama 120 Bahadur was unveiled by the makers on Tuesday. Directed by Razneesh 'Razy' Ghai, the film is based on the battle of Rezang La during the Indo-China war of 1962, where 120 Indian soldiers fought against several thousand Chinese troops.
The teaser opens with an Armyman asking a bed-bound soldier in a hospital about what exactly happened during the battle of Rezang La. Expansive scenes shot in the valleys of Ladakh gives us a glimpse into the scale of the film. Farhan Akhtar is introduced, eyes first, as Param Vir Chakra awardee, Major Shaitan Singh Bhati. He intensely declares "Hum peeche nahi hatenge (We will not back down)." As the battle ensues, the soldiers of Charlie Company of the 13 Kumaon Regiment led by Major Shaitan Singh create havoc against the Chinese. In a powerful scene, Farhan can be seen killing enemy soldiers with a mere knife.
A day before, on Monday, a new poster of the film featuring Farhan was unveiled by the makers. In the poster, shared on social media, Farhan can be seen standing in snowfall, wearing an army jacket, while holding a rifle and looking intense.
Last month, a poster from the film was released, which showed Farhan’s intense look as he is seen firing a gun and showing bloodied teeth.
In the poster, Farhan is seen holding a gun and firing it with vigour revealing some blood coming off his mouth. He wrote a short note in the caption about the real-events that the film is based on. He had said, “It’s been 62 years since 1962. Today, we honor the unparalleled courage and sacrifice of the heroes of Rezang La. 120 Bahadur is our tribute to the valor and the indomitable spirit of Major Shaitan Singh and his brave men, who stood their ground against insurmountable odds.”
He added, “Their story echoes through time, reminding us of the price of freedom and the strength of unity, with a special salute to the Ahir community, whose sons displayed unmatched bravery in defending our nation.”
The film features music by Amit Trivedi and lyrics by Javed Akhtar. It is produced by Ritesh Sidhwani, Farhan Akhtar and Amit Chandrra. It will be released in theatres on November 21, 2025.
