The Union government will decide within two days on a representation challenging the film’s certification.

Overview

  • Excel Entertainment and Trigger Happy Studios will roll out the film across more than 800 defence cinema halls using PictureTime’s mobile theatres in partnership with GenSync Brat Media.
  • Select paid previews are scheduled for November 18 to mark the 63rd anniversary of the Battle of Rezang La ahead of the global release on November 21.
