120 Bahadur Picks Up on Saturday After Slow Start as Accuracy Dispute Lingers

Early estimates point to stronger day-two footfall driven by word-of-mouth.

Overview

  • Industry tracker Sacnilk estimates about Rs 3.35 crore on Saturday after a roughly Rs 2.25 crore Friday, taking the two-day India total to around Rs 5.6 crore nett.
  • Producers said day one grossed Rs 2.4 crore and indicated a sharp Saturday uptick, framing the weekend as a key test for the film’s momentum.
  • The release follows a Delhi High Court go‑ahead after a PIL on alleged misrepresentation, with the court noting an end‑credits roll naming all 120 Rezang La soldiers.
  • Reactions remain divided, with praise from public figures like Virender Sehwag and criticism from author Kulpreet Yadav, who argues the story is overly fictionalised.
  • A special high‑altitude screening at the Rezang La War Memorial Auditorium in Chushul, Ladakh, was scheduled for November 22, and Farhan Akhtar has urged tax‑free status to broaden access.
