While the teaser and posters of Excel Entertainment and Trigger Happy Studios’ upcoming war drama 120 Bahadur gave audiences a glimpse into the extraordinary story of Indian soldiers, the film’s first song has now been unveiled, further amping up the excitement.
Titled Dada Kishan Ki Jai, the track is a powerful expression of patriotism that perfectly captures the spirit and soul of the film.
The song was launched at a grand and powerful event in Lucknow, which witnessed the presence of thousands of fans. The launch was attended by Farhan Akhtar, Sukhwinder Singh, Narpat Singh; son of Major Shaitan Singh Bhati, PVC, the actors portraying the soldiers of Charlie Company, the two surviving heroes of the Battle of Rezang La, Subedar Honorary Captain Ram Chander Yadav Ji and Havildar Nihal Singh Ji, SM, and the families of the martyrs. The atmosphere brimmed with pride as the anthem resonated through the crowd, honouring the valour and sacrifice of India’s bravest.
Composed and produced by Salim–Sulaiman, with lyrics penned by Javed Akhtar and vocals by Sukhwinder Singh, Dada Kishan Ki Jai beautifully evokes patriotism and emotion, serving as the musical heartbeat of 120 Bahadur.
120 Bahadur recounts the extraordinary courage of 120 Indian soldiers from the 13 Kumaon Regiment, who fought in the legendary Battle of Rezang La during the 1962 war. Farhan Akhtar essays the role of Major Shaitan Singh Bhati, PVC, who, along with his men, stood his ground against impossible odds in one of the most defining battles of Indian military history.
At its heart, one unwavering line echoes through the film: “Hum Peechhe Nahin Hatenge.”
