Residential societies join schools in organising theatre visits for 120 Bahadur

Excel Entertainment and Trigger Happy Studios’ war drama 120 Bahadur, which opened in theatres on November 21, continues to draw growing footfall as early reviews from critics, audiences, and industry members remain consistently positive. The film’s reception has now moved beyond regular moviegoers, finding support from schools and even residential societies that are organising collective visits to cinemas. In several cities, schools have begun taking students for special screenings, viewing the film as an opportunity to introduce younger audiences to a defining chapter in India’s military history. Teachers and administrators have noted that the film offers a straightforward depiction of courage and commitment, allowing students to understand the idea of service to the nation through a real historical event. Residential societies, too, have responded in an organised manner. One cooperative housing society issued a notice encouraging residents to watch the film together. The message highlighted the importance of acknowledging the contribution of the 13 Kumaon Regiment and read in part:“Residents are requested to come together to watch 120 Bahadur in theatres and stand for the heroes who stood for the nation. Let’s book the show and enjoy their pride.”The society booked a 9 PM screening at Rajhans Cinema for its members, adding to the growing trend of community-led viewings. 120 Bahadur recounts the courage shown by 120 soldiers of the 13 Kumaon Regiment who fought in the Battle of Rezang La during the 1962 war. Farhan Akhtar portrays Major Shaitan Singh Bhati, the Param Vir Chakra awardee who led the contingent. The film’s narrative foregrounds the regiment’s resolve, encapsulated in the words “Hum Peechhe Nahin Hatenge,” a line that reflects the spirit with which the soldiers faced overwhelming odds. Directed by Razneesh ‘Razy’ Ghai and produced by Ritesh Sidhwani, Farhan Akhtar, and Amit Chandrra, the film is an Excel Entertainment production. It is currently playing in cinemas across the country. Also Read: Guns, Grit & Glory: How 120 Bahadur, Ikkis and Border 2 are redefining War cinema.

In a special collaboration, the National Film Development Corporation (NFDC) and Entertainment Society of Goa (ESG) have partnered with mobile digital theatre pioneer PictureTime Digiplex to install state-of-the-art inflatable cinemas in the upcoming 56th International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa.

For the first time ever, three Shah Rukh Khan classics Chak De! India, Darr, and Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge will be showcased in the inflatable cinemas. Joining them are Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s acclaimed 12th Fail, the Malayalam blockbuster Manjummel Boys, Rajkummar Rao’s Srikanth, Rani Mukerji’s Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway, Sooraj Barjatya’s Uunchai, Mira Nair’s Salaam Bombay!

Their association with the event began in 2017 when the team organised Bioscope Village.”Bringing our mobile digital movie theatres to a festival of this scale underscores how far this technology has come from remote villages to one of the world’s most respected film events. Our goal has always been to democratise cinema, to take high-quality film experiences to audiences who may never have had access to such spaces, and IFFI gives us a powerful platform to demonstrate that mission in action.”This year’s programming ranging from Shah Rukh Khan’s iconic classics to acclaimed contemporary titles like 12th Fail and Manjummel Boys reflects the diversity and cultural richness of Indian cinema. We are especially excited about the screenings curated for children and young students, because nurturing early audiences is essential for the future of film appreciation.”With the Kala Academy inflatable theatre and our units enabling open-air screenings across Goa, we hope to create a festival experience that is immersive, inclusive, and truly celebratory of Indian cinema’s storytelling power. PictureTime remains committed to innovating how cinema is created, consumed, and accessed across the country,” he added. The inflatable theatre at Kala Academy is expected to welcome over 1, 000 visitors daily, ranging from global delegates and film professionals to school groups and cinephiles. Open-air screenings across Goa are projected to draw an additional 300-400 viewers per location, daily.
