The trailer, narrated by Amitabh Bachchan, opens with a stirring recollection of the 1962 Indo-China conflict and sets the tone for a gripping narrative of courage and sacrifice. Farhan Akhtar portrays Major Shaitan Singh Bhati, while Raashii Khanna plays his wife. The visuals, shot across Ladakh, Rajasthan, and Mumbai, depict the harsh realities of war and the indomitable spirit of Indian soldiers.
120 Bahadur dramatizes the heroic stand of 120 Indian soldiers against 3,000 Chinese troops, highlighting themes of patriotism, resilience, and leadership. The film’s tagline, “Hum Peechhe Nahin Hatenge,” echoes throughout the trailer, reinforcing its emotional and nationalistic appeal.
Industry peers, including actor Yash, have also commended the trailer, suggesting that 120 Bahadur could emerge as one of the year’s most impactful cinematic tributes to India’s military history.
