The Music Behind the Emotion

The anthem’s powerful music has been composed and produced by Salim–Sulaiman, with evocative lyrics by Javed Akhtar, and an impassioned rendition by Sukhwinder Singh. Together, they’ve created a musical salute that celebrates courage, unity, and sacrifice — perfectly aligning with the essence of 120 Bahadur.

A Salute to True Heroes

120 Bahadur recounts the valour of 120 Indian soldiers from the 13 Kumaon Regiment, who fought valiantly in the Battle of Rezang La (1962). Farhan Akhtar plays Major Shaitan Singh Bhati, PVC, who, along with his men, defied all odds in one of India’s most legendary battles. At its heart, one unwavering line echoes through the film — "Hum Peechhe Nahin Hatenge."

Directed by Razneesh ‘Razy’ Ghai and produced by Ritesh Sidhwani, Farhan Akhtar (Excel Entertainment), and Amit Chandrra (Trigger Happy Studios), 120 Bahadur is set to release in cinemas on November 21, 2025.

A story of bravery, a song of pride — "Dada Kishan Ki Jai" unites the nation’s spirit both on the battlefield and the cricket field.
