120 Bahadur producers agree to list all Kumaon | Indian Movie News
The producers of the movie 120 Bahadur have informed the Delhi High Court that they are going to honour and list every one of the 120 troopers of the Kumaon regiment who fought in the historic 1962 Battle of Rezang La in the movie’s end credit.
Court’s Directive and Producers’ Response
During a listening to before a Division Bench comprising Justices Prathiba M Singh and Shail Jain, the movie’s counsel gave an assurance to acknowledge the collective sacrifice of these troopers, particularly the Ahir (Yadav) neighborhood, in both theatrical and Over-The-Top releases. This directive comes in response to a public curiosity litigation by the Sanyukt Ahir Regiment Morcha, which had demanded express recognition of Ahir (Yadav) bravery in the movie.
Controversy Surrounding the Film’s Portrayal
The PIL argued that of the 120 troopers in the company, 114 have been martyred, and 113 belonged to the Ahir (Yadav) neighborhood. Critics declare that the movie distorts historic details by focusing primarily on Major Shaitan Singh—fictionalized as Major Bhati (performed by Farhan Akhtar)—thereby undermining the group’s regimental identification and broader neighborhood contribution. The petitioners sought not only factual corrections but also a renaming of the movie to “120 Vir Ahir” and the inclusion of all troopers’ names and an applicable disclaimer.
Court Ruling and Film Release
The court acknowledged the late stage of the movie’s manufacturing, which is set to release in theatres on November 21, and declined to direct a change of title. It disposed of the plea by mandating that all troopers’ names be featured in the end credit, guaranteeing collective acknowledgment and respect for their sacrifice.
