Guwahati, November 21, 2025: The war drama 120 Bahadur, starring Farhan Akhtar, hit theaters today amid modest expectations. With a slow start in the morning, collections picked up slightly through the day, but the film is facing tough competition from holdovers like De De Pyaar De 2 and a clash with Mastiii 4. Early estimates put day 1 India net at around ₹0.96 crore, a dull opening that relies on positive word of mouth for the weekend boost.

About 120 Bahadur and Future Prediction
120 Bahadur tells the real story of the 1962 Battle of Rezang La, where 120 Indian soldiers held off a massive Chinese force. Farhan Akhtar plays Major Shaitan Singh, bringing grit to this tale of bravery. Directed by Razneesh Ghai and backed by Excel Entertainment, it’s a mix of action and emotion that honors unsung heroes.
Reviews are mixed so far, praising the patriotism but noting pacing issues. With a ₹100 crore budget, the low day 1 means it needs strong weekend growth—maybe ₹4-5 crore over Saturday-Sunday if buzz builds. Lifetime could hit ₹15-20 crore if family audiences turn up, but competition might cap it lower. Keep an eye on night shows and tomorrow’s trends.
