In a rare and surprising move, the makers of 120 Bahadur have announced paid previews across India on 18 November, giving audiences a chance to watch the film three days before its official release. The decision has been taken to coincide with the 63rd anniversary of the Battle of Rezang La, one of the most heroic chapters in India's military history. The early screenings have created instant curiosity, as very few Hindi films today take the risk of opening paid previews so far ahead of their release date.
