Inspired by the life of Maj Shaitan Singh Bhati (PVC), 120 Bahadur tells the story of an extraordinary act of courage during the Battle of Rezang La in 1962, where 120 Indian soldiers stood their ground against thousands, defending Ladakh with unimaginable grit.
To match the scale and authenticity of the story, the team filmed in some of the most extreme conditions and high-altitude terrain in Ladakh.
