120 Bahadur to release in defence theatres
120 Bahadur has become the first film in the country to be released in defence cinema halls. It will be screened in over 800 theatres for the soldiers and their families. This initiative is enabled through PictureTime’s mobile cinema network in collaboration with GenSync Brat Media.
On the landmark initiative, Sushil Chaudhary, Founder-CEO of PictureTime, said, “There are 1.5 million active soldiers and over six million viewers. But only 30 percent of India’s 20-million strong veteran and family audience has access to defence cinemas. We aim to expand the ecosystem to additionally reach the underserved 70% and we begin with a bang with 120 Bahadur, a film we know will deeply resonate with the forces.”
Excel Entertainment CEO Vishal Ramchandani shared, “120 Bahadur honours the courage and sacrifice of our armed forces. We feel truly privileged that the soldiers whose spirit the film celebrates will be watching it with their families. Our sincere thanks to PictureTime for facilitating this screening for those who serve the nation.”
