Who was Major Shaitan Singh?

In 120 Bahadur, Major Shaitan Singh was played by Farhan Akhtar. Major Shaitan Singh was a revered Indian Army officer, posthumously awarded the Param Vir Chakra, India's highest military honour, for his extraordinary bravery and leadership at the Battle of Rezang La during the 1962 Sino-Indian War.

During his stay, he inspired his soldiers and fought heroically against overwhelming odds until his last breath. Shaitan Singh was born in Rajasthan and was a company commander in the 13 Kumaon Regiment and set an example of supreme sacrifice, becoming an enduring symbol of Indian valour.

Meanwhile, apart from Farhan Akhtar, 120 Bahadur also features Raashii Khanna, Vivan Bhatena, Ankit Siwach, Ajinkya Deo, Eijaz Khan, Sparsh Walia, Dhanveer Singh, and Sahib Verma. Notably, Amitabh Bachchan lends his voice as the narrator.

Is 120 Bahadur a hit or a flop movie?

120 Bahadur did not perform well at the domestic box office. It collected only Rs. 17.85 crore in total, as per Sacnilk. The film failed because audiences were not drawn to another "lost war" story, especially one involving China, and the music failed to make an impact.
