Sparsh Walia and Atul Singh Honour true heroes Yadav Ji and Nihal Singh Ji in 120 Bahadur

120 Bahadhur

The highly anticipated war drama 120 Bahadur, produced by Excel Entertainment and Trigger Happy Studios, is centred on bravery, selflessness, and an unwavering spirit.

With its teaser and poster, the movie has already drawn interest and given a preview of a profoundly moving tale based on actual events.

120 Bahadur honours the 120 soldiers who resisted at the renowned Battle of Rezang La in 1962, one of the most valiant last stands in Indian military history, and is based on the bravery of the Indian Army.

The inclusion of two real-life heroes, Nihal Singh Ji and Yadav Ji, whose courage still inspires people today, heightens the emotional impact of the movie. Both veterans moved everyone in attendance with their quiet dignity and living connection to history when they attended the Lucknow premiere of the movie's opening song, Dada Kishan Ki Jai.

Their tales serve as a reminder that the heroes of Rezang La are not extinct people; rather, they are living, breathing examples of the bravery, grief, and pride that shaped a country.

Farhan Akhtar replaces Major Shaitan Singh Bhati, the recipient of the Param Vir Chakra award and the commander of the 13 Kumaon Regiment, in 120 Bahadur.

Despite overwhelming odds, Major Shaitan Singh and his battalion resisted retreating, demonstrating his fearless leadership. In addition to honouring his extraordinary bravery, the movie honours the spirit and brotherhood of all the soldiers who fought alongside him.

Sparsh Walia (as Yadav Ji) and Atul Singh (as Nihal Singh Ji), who play two of these courageous men, authentically and passionately bring their stories to life. It is anticipated that their performances will convey the perseverance, compassion, and selflessness of those who stood for something bigger than themselves.

Fundamentally, 120 Bahadur is a heartfelt ode to bravery, tenacity, and solidarity rather than merely a war movie. One memorable line that reverberates throughout the narrative, "Hum Peechhe Nahin Hatenge," perfectly captures its essence.

120 Bahadur, which was directed by Razneesh "Razy" Ghai and produced by Ritesh Sidhwani, Farhan Akhtar (Excel Entertainment), and Amit Chandrra (Trigger Happy Studios), is expected to be a powerful film.

On November 21, 2025, the movie opens in theatres, reminding viewers of the true heroes who, in the face of adversity, never gave up.
