'120 Bahadur' Teaser Out: Farhan Akhtar Leads The Last Stand at Battle of Rezang La! Tue August 05th, 2025

The highly anticipated teaser for Farhan Akhtar's upcoming film, 120 Bahadur, has been released, providing a powerful and emotional glimpse into one of the most heroic chapters of the 1962 Indo-China War. In a role that marks his return to the big screen after a four-year hiatus, Farhan Akhtar embodies the real-life war hero, Param Vir Chakra recipient Major Shaitan Singh Bhati, leading a small company of soldiers in a battle against overwhelming odds.

The film is a cinematic tribute to Major Shaitan Singh and his 120 brave soldiers of the 13 Kumaon Regiment's 'Charlie Company', who made an unwavering last stand at the Battle of Rezang La. The teaser promises a war drama that is not just about conflict, but about the indomitable spirit of men who chose sacrifice over surrender.

What the Teaser Reveals

The nearly two-minute teaser opens with a powerful voiceover questioning the events of the Battle of Rezang La. It quickly transitions into a series of gritty, breathtaking visuals set against the unforgiving, snow-covered terrains of Ladakh. The teaser highlights the harsh conditions faced by the soldiers, with temperatures plummeting below freezing.

Farhan Akhtar's portrayal of Major Shaitan Singh is both intense and commanding. He is seen motivating his troops with a powerful speech, a key moment that sets the tone for the entire film. The teaser's most impactful line, “Mujhe peechhe hatna manzoor nahi hai” (I will not accept retreating), encapsulates the unwavering resolve of the soldiers. This single-minded focus on fighting till the end is what makes this historical event legendary. The final frames of the teaser feature high-octane battle sequences, showcasing the fierce clash between the Indian soldiers and the Chinese forces.

The Battle of Rezang La: A True Story of Heroism

120 Bahadur is based on the legendary Battle of Rezang La, which took place on November 18, 1962. In this pivotal confrontation, 120 soldiers of the 13 Kumaon Regiment's Charlie Company, under the leadership of Major Shaitan Singh, bravely defended their post at an altitude of over 16,000 feet against an attack by more than 3,000 Chinese troops. Despite being heavily outnumbered and outgunned, the Indian soldiers fought with extraordinary courage, inflicting heavy casualties on the enemy before being overrun. For his exemplary leadership and supreme sacrifice, Major Shaitan Singh was posthumously awarded the Param Vir Chakra, India's highest military decoration.
