Farhan Akhtar’s 120 Bahadur is all set to hit theatres. The film will be released on November 21. Ever since the release of its trailer, the excitement around the war drama has been high. However, does the film meet expectations? Let’s find out.
Directed by Razneesh ‘Razy’ Ghai, 120 Bahadur brings to life the incredible bravery of 120 Indian soldiers from the 13 Kumaon Regiment, who fought with unshakable spirit in the Battle of Rezang La during the 1962 war. In the movie, Farhan Akhtar steps into the role of Major Shaitan Singh Bhati, PVC, the fearless leader who, along with his men, stood firm against overwhelming odds in one of the most heroic chapters of India’s military history.
To begin with, the film opens on a sluggish note, with the first half unfolding at an almost glacial pace. Scenes linger longer than necessary and the narrative seems to wander without a clear sense of urgency. The pace of the film in the first half makes it less engaging and more boring. One ends up waiting only for the interval and hoping that the film might start to interest them a little post-break.
