The Morning Standard
|November 20, 2025
AMID a dispute over historical representation and attribution, the Delhi High Court on Wednesday cleared the nationwide theatrical release of Farhan Akhtar-starrer 120 Bahadur, observing that the film already acknowledges the soldiers of the 1962 Battle of Rezang La.
The order came as the movie prepares to hit theatres on November 21. A division bench of Justice Prathiba M Singh and Justice Shail Jain passed the direction after noting the producer's submission that the names of all 120 soldiers who fought in the battle have been included in the end credits. The film depicts the valour of Major Shaitan Singh Bhati, who was awarded the Param Vir Chakra for his role in the historic confrontation.
