As anticipation builds for Farhan Akhtar’s upcoming war drama 120 Bahadur, Rajasthan MLA Ravindra Singh Bhati has written to Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma, urging the state government to declare the film tax-free.

The film, slated for a theatrical release on November 21, celebrates the courage and sacrifice of India’s soldiers in one of the nation’s most historic battles.

In his letter, Bhati highlighted the film’s patriotic essence and educational value for the younger generation. “A letter has been written to the Honorable Chief Minister requesting that the film ‘120 Bahadur,’ scheduled to be screened in theaters across the entire country on the upcoming 21st of November, be made tax-free in the state. This film is dedicated to the saga of valor, sacrifice, and bravery of Param Vir Chakra Major Shaitan Singh Ji and Mother India's 120 heroic sons (sic),” he wrote.

The legislator emphasised that films like 120 Bahadur play an important role in inspiring patriotism and national pride. “It is essential to reach such inspirational, patriotism-infused films to as many people as possible, so that the new generation can become acquainted with the sacrifices and dedication of our soldiers. It is expected from the state government that it will take a sensitive decision on this meaningful initiative and work to further strengthen the spirit of nationalism in society (sic),” Bhati added.
