Farhan Akhtar’s heartfelt war drama takes time to connect
November 21, 2025
|Hindustan Times Ranchi
As I watched 120 Bahadur, I just couldn't shake off the sense of familiarity. Our war dramas often march to the same beat, and this one also takes its time before stepping out of that mould. It finds its footing eventually, but only after wading through a swamp of predictability. So how does it fare overall?
Based on the 1962 Rezang La battle, the film unfolds through the recollections of a radio operator played by Sparsh Walia. Led by Shaitan Singh Bhati, brought to life by Farhan Akhtar, 120 soldiers of Charlie Company, 13 Kumaon regiment, laid down their lives to protect the Rezang La pass from the Chinese. The how of it forms the rest of the film.
