India\u2019s exhibition landscape is witnessing a groundbreaking moment as Excel Entertainment and Trigger Happy Studios\u2019 upcoming war epic 120 Bahadur becomes the first film in the country to release across defence theatres nationwide.

Farhan Akhtar starrer 120 Bahadur creates history; becomes first film ever to release in Defence theatres across India<\/p>\n

The Farhan Akhtar-starrer is set to screen exclusively for the defence community in more than 800 cinema halls across India when it opens globally on November 21. The rollout, executed by PictureTime in collaboration with GenSync Brat Media, marks a major leap in accessibility, bringing high-quality cinematic experiences to soldiers and their families posted in remote and previously underserved regions.<\/p>\n

Explaining the scale and impact of the initiative, Sushil Chaudhary, Founder-CEO of PictureTime, highlighted the long-standing gap in entertainment access for armed forces personnel. \u201cThere are 1.5 million active soldiers and over six million viewers. But only 30 percent of India\u2019s 20-million strong veteran and family audience has access to defense cinemas. We aim to expand the ecosystem to additionally reach the underserved 70% and we begin with a bang with 120 Bahadur, a film we know will deeply resonate with the forces,\u201d Chaudhary said.<\/p>\n

Excel Entertainment CEO Vishal Ramchandani echoed this sentiment, emphasising the emotional significance of the film\u2019s defence-first release. \u201c120 Bahadur honours the courage and sacrifice of our armed forces. We feel truly privileged that the soldiers whose spirit the film celebrates will be watching it with their families. Our sincere thanks to PictureTime for facilitating this screening for those who serve the nation.\u201d<\/p>\n
