Overview

  • Excel Entertainment and Trigger Happy Studios will open the film on Nov. 21 across more than 800 defence cinema halls for personnel and families, alongside a global release.
  • Select paid previews are scheduled for Nov. 18 to mark the 63rd anniversary of the 1962 Battle of Rezang La.
  • PictureTime, in partnership with GenSync Brat Media, is using a mobile cinema network to reach remote bases, noting only about 30% of the veteran-and-family audience currently has access to defence cinemas.
  • The High Court disposed of a PIL from the Sanyukt Ahir Regiment Morcha seeking a title change and stay, declining interim relief after the Centre pledged a prompt review under the Cinematograph Act’s Section 6.
  • The Union government and CBFC said an Examination Committee, aided by a retired brigadier from the portrayed regiment, vetted the film, as petitioners continue to allege distortion of collective valour.
