Farhan’s sincere attempt meets patriotic crossroads

A film that has patriotism written on it in bold letters has mostly worked at the box office.

- Satish Sundaresan

Films like Border, Lakshya stand as a testimony to the same. In such a scenario, will | film like 120 Bahadur be able to hit the bull's eye at the boxoffice, let's find out.

The film starts with a historic vintage video in addition to a voiceover of the legendary Amitabh Bachchan who guides us through the situation of 1962. It was the time when battle lines were drawn between India and China and the latter's troops began marching towards Ladakh. The razor-sharp Major Shaitan Singh Bhati (Farhan Akhtar) of 13th Battalion of Kumaon Regiment, clearly understands that if the Chinese gain control of Chushul, rest of Ladakh along with Jammu and Kashmir would be a cakewalk for them. Things become extremely challenging when he realises that he has merely 120 soldiers to put up a fight against 3000 plus Chinese soldiers.

Does Major Shaitan Singh Bhati become successful in tackling and battling the mighty Chinese Army is what forms the rest of the film.
