Bollywood luminary Hrithik Roshan has delivered a resounding endorsement of Farhan Akhtar’s latest cinematic venture, the war drama ‘120 Bahadur,’ through an enthusiastic social media tribute. On his official Instagram account, Roshan celebrated the film as a “beautifully crafted” masterpiece distinguished by “incredible aesthetics” and outstanding performances.
Roshan specifically commended Akhtar’s portrayal in the film while praising director Razneesh Ghai’s “flawless” artistic direction. The actor’s post emphasized the collective achievement, noting that “every department deserves a pat on their backs” for their contribution to the production.
The historical drama depicts the heroic actions of Major Shaitan Singh Bhati, who was posthumously awarded India’s highest military honor, the Param Vir Chakra, for his leadership during the 1962 Battle of Rezang La. The film focuses on the valor demonstrated by Singh’s unit, composed primarily of soldiers from Rewari and surrounding regions, who defended the strategically crucial Rezang La Pass along the India-China border.
In previous interviews with ANI, Akhtar reflected on the particular challenges inherent in bringing such historically significant stories to the screen. The actor-producer emphasized the additional responsibility of ensuring accurate and respectful depiction of military sacrifice, noting the importance of creating a narrative that would inspire pride among the families of those represented.
The ensemble cast features Raashii Khanna, Sparsh Walia, Vivan Bhatena, and Dhanveer Singh in significant roles, contributing to what industry observers are calling a landmark in Indian war cinema.
