120 Bahadur' First Film in Defence Theatres Nationwide
A new movie called '120 Bahadur' is coming out soon.
It's special because it will be shown in special movie theaters for soldiers and their families all over India.
This is the first time this is happening!
A company called PictureTime is helping to make this happen using special moving cinemas.
This way, even soldiers and their families living far away in remote places can enjoy watching movies.
Right now, many soldiers and their families can't easily get to these special theaters, but this new plan hopes to reach them all.
Farhan Akhtar's film '120 Bahadur' will be the first to release in defence theatres across India.
The film will screen in over 800 defence theatres starting November 21, facilitated by PictureTime's mobile cinema network.
This initiative aims to bring cinema to soldiers, veterans, and their families, especially in remote areas.
The goal is to reach the 70% of the defence community not currently accessing defence cinemas.
The release is in association with GenSync Brat Media.
