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.
The strategy is being seen as a mark of respect to the 120 soldiers of the 13 Kumaon Regiment who fought the legendary battle in 1962, and also as a strong sign of confidence from the team behind the film. By allowing audiences to experience the story first, the makers hope genuine reactions and early reviews will help build momentum leading into the release weekend. 
More than 30 shows will open for booking across different cities, and trade experts believe the move could set a new trend if audiences respond positively.
Watch the trailer here: 

120 Bahadur tells the story of Major Shaitan Singh Bhati, PVC, played by Farhan Akhtar, who led his men with unwavering courage in extreme conditions. The film explores the emotional and physical challenges faced by the soldiers as they held their ground against overwhelming odds. While the larger narrative focuses on patriotism and sacrifice, the story also highlights the personal bonds, humour, and quiet moments that shaped the soldiers’ final stand. The line “Hum Peechhe Nahin Hatenge” echoes throughout the film, capturing the spirit of resilience that defines their legacy.
The paid preview decision has already sparked discussions online, with many calling it a fitting tribute to Rezang La Day. Early viewers are expected to share their thoughts across social media, which could boost excitement in the days leading up to the theatrical release.

Directed by Razneesh Razy Ghai, the film aims to give audiences a deeply emotional and visually powerful experience. 120 Bahadur releases nationwide on 21 November, and the paid previews on 18 November will offer the first glimpse of what promises to be one of the year’s most stirring war dramas.

The film’s debut comes at a time when Hollywood’s fall box office has seen mixed results. Despite the overall season ahead of last year by about 2% with a gross of over $674 million, audience turnout for star-studded adult dramas such as Dwayne Johnson’s The Smashing Machine and Margot Robbie’s A Big Bold Beautiful Journey has been underwhelming.

Pawan Kalyan’s They Call Him OG (OG) has opened to a blockbuster bang at the box office, shattering records and establishing new milestones. Sujeeth’s action thriller has collected more than Rs 131 crore worldwide, which is Pawan Kalyan’s maiden Rs 100 crore opener and the 15th Indian film to reach this mark on its opening day.

A highlight achievement for They Call Him OG is its record-breaking domestic paid premieres, which grossed an unbelievable Rs 30.50 crore in India alone. Most of this came from the Telugu states, highlighting Pawan Kalyan’s huge fan base. This broke earlier preview records set by top films like Chennai Express, Stree 2, Pushpa 2, and Hari Hara Veera Mallu.

With the increasing trend of paid previews taking the spotlight in post-pandemic times, They Call Him OG has raised the bar, and there are several upcoming tentpole films that are likely to take a similar path, making those premieres a standard norm.

The following are the top five Indian box office biggest previews so far:

They Call Him OG – Rs 30.50 crore

Hari Hara Veera Mallu – Rs 15.50 crore

Pushpa 2 – Rs 15.00 crore

Stree 2 – Rs 10.00 crore

Chennai Express – Rs 9.00 crore

The overseas premieres also saw the film performing well, particularly in the USA, where it raked in USD 2.95 million (around Rs 25 crore), becoming the fourth largest Telugu movie preview in the US following Pushpa 2, RRR, and Kalki 2898 AD.

The total global premiere gross collection for They Call Him OG amounts to about Rs 63.30 crore—a feat unheard of before for Pawan Kalyan. All eyes now are on the coming Telugu movie The Raja Saab, which is also predicted to take OG’s record-breaking feat to task.
