120 Bahadur Nears Rs 10 Crore Opening Weekend as Interest Builds Through Special Screenings

Early industry estimates show steady weekend gains after a slow start, even as questions over historical fidelity resurface.

Overview

  • The Farhan Akhtar-led war drama is estimated to have earned about Rs 10.1 crore in its first three days, with Sunday pegged near Rs 4 crore, according to Sacnilk.
  • Day-one collections were cited at roughly Rs 2.25–2.35 crore by trackers, while the producers reported Rs 2.4 crore and noted stronger occupancy on Saturday.
  • A Delhi screening drew top Army leadership including Chief of Army Staff General Upendra Dwivedi, and a high-altitude showing was held at the Rezang La memorial in Chushul.
  • Author Kulpreet Yadav, whose book recounts the Rezang La battle, publicly criticised the film’s fictionalisation even after the Delhi High Court cleared its release against a plea alleging distortion.
  • Akhtar has urged tax-free status to widen access, as the film—directed by Razneesh ‘Razy’ Ghai and produced by Excel Entertainment and Trigger Happy Studios—continues its theatrical run.
