Farhan Akhtar's ‘120 Bahadur' Renews Interest In ‘Charlie Company.' What Is It & The China Link
Last Updated: Farhan Akhtar's upcoming film, 120 Bahadur, honours Major Shaitan Singh Bhati and the brave soldiers of Charlie Company from the 13 Kumaon Regiment. Farhan Akhtar's upcoming film, 120 Bahadur, is creating a strong buzz for its powerful story. The movie honours Major Shaitan Singh Bhati and the brave soldiers of Charlie Company from the 13 Kumaon Regiment. It is based on the true events of the 1962 Indo-China war, specifically the legendary Battle of Rezang La. At a height of almost 18,000 feet, Singh and 119 soldiers faced 3000 Chinese forces. Despite being outnumbered, they fought hard to protect Chushul airstrip. Let's explore the real events that made this battle a landmark moment in India's military history. On the morning of 18th November 1962, massive Chinese soldiers, equipped with advanced weapons, launched an attack on Chushul. The Indian side, led by Commander Major Shaitan Singh, was heavily outnumbered. But instead of stepping back, his men chose to fight till their last breath. The battle took place in freezing cold conditions and the Indian troops didn't even have proper winter gear. They also lacked modern weapons, while the enemy had better equipment and stronger firepower. During the intense fight, Major Shaitan Singh showed great courage. Even while facing danger, he kept moving between platoon posts to encourage his men. They kept fighting until every bullet was used and every soldier had fallen. The battle ended with the Indian soldiers lying in the snow, high in the mountains. Their bodies remained there for nearly three months, until a shepherd found them. Out of the 120 soldiers, 114 gave their lives in this tough battle. Sharing his character poster in November 2024 on Instagram, Farhan Akhtar wrote, 'It's been 62 years since 1962. Today, we honour the unparalleled courage and sacrifice of the heroes of Rezang La. 120 Bahadur is our tribute to the valour and the indomitable spirit of Major Shaitan Singh and his brave men, who stood their ground against insurmountable odds. Their story echoes through time, reminding us of the price of freedom and the strength of unity, with a special salute to the Ahir community, whose sons displayed unmatched bravery in defending our nation." Farhan Akhtar is all set to play the role of Major Shaitan Singh in 120 Bahadur, directed by Razneesh 'Razy' Ghai. The movie is scheduled to hit theatres on November 21.
