On November 17, 2025, India's exhibition landscape is witnessing a historic moment as the upcoming war epic 120 Bahadur becomes the first film in the country to release across defense theaters nationwide. This landmark initiative, enabled through PictureTime's mobile cinema network, ensures that a film honoring unparalleled courage will directly reach the brave hearts it pays tribute to.
The Farhan Akhtar-starrer is set to screen exclusively for the defense community in more than 800 cinema halls across India when it opens globally on November 21, 2025. The rollout, executed by PictureTime in collaboration with GenSync Brat Media, marks a major leap in accessibility, bringing high-quality cinematic experiences to soldiers and their families posted in remote and previously underserved regions.
Sushil Chaudhary, Founder-CEO of PictureTime, highlighted the long-standing gap in entertainment access for armed forces personnel, stating that only 30% of India's 20-million strong veteran and family audience has access to defense cinemas. This groundbreaking release of 120 Bahadur aims to expand the ecosystem and reach the underserved 70% of the defense community.
