120 Bahadur: The Untold Story of 120 Heroes Who Defied 3,000 Enemies

When a handful of men decide that death is better than surrender, history remembers their names forever. 120 Bahadur brings one such story to life — a tale of unflinching courage from the 1962 Indo-China war that defined the meaning of sacrifice.

A Story Rooted in Real Valor

The trailer of 120 Bahadur opens on a haunting note the snow-clad peaks of Ladakh, the sound of marching boots, and the calm before the storm. It’s 1962. India believes China is a friend. But when friendship turns to betrayal, 120 Indian soldiers rise to defend their motherland against 3,000 Chinese invaders at Rezang La. The film is inspired by true events, capturing the real-life bravery of the Charlie Company of the 13 Kumaon Regiment — soldiers who fought to their last breath so that the tricolor could still wave in the cold winds of Ladakh.
