Here’s Why Ankit Siwach Stands Out As Ramlal Yadav Amongst The Ensemble, Why Bollywood Needs To Reckon...

Releasing in theatres on 21 November, 120 Bahadur arrives with the weight of a true and unforgettable chapter of Indian history, the Battle of Rezang La. Directed by Razneesh Ghai, the film honours the extraordinary bravery of the 120 soldiers of Charlie Company, 13 Kumaon Regiment, who stood their ground against nearly 3,000 Chinese troops in 1962. Even before its official release, the film has already begun capturing hearts for its emotional depth, powerful cast, and sincere storytelling.

Farhan Akhtar leads the ensemble with a calm yet commanding performance as Major Shaitan Singh Bhati, showing his strength not only in battle scenes but also in moments of quiet leadership. The film, however, does not centre only around him. It gently opens space for each soldier, showing their humour, their fears, their small routines, and their unspoken hopes. This steady unveiling of personalities helps the audience feel close to every member of the company, making their journey feel deeply personal.

Among the cast, Ankit Siwach stands out with a moving performance as Ramlal. Known mostly for different kinds of roles, Ankit surprises many with the honesty he brings to this character. He plays Ramlal with a calm confidence, letting his emotions show through subtle expressions rather than dramatic moments. Viewers who have followed his work are already praising him for stepping into a role so grounded, brave, and rooted in real history. His presence adds warmth to the group, especially in scenes where the soldiers connect like brothers.

The film also features strong work from Vivan Bhatena, Sparsh Waliaa, Dhanveer Singh, Saheb Verma, Eijaz Khan, and Ajinkya Deo, each adding their own spark to the story. Their chemistry creates a sense of a real unit that laughs together, fights together, and stands together when danger grows. The background score lifts these moments further, not loud or overwhelming, but gentle when needed and intense when the tension rises. It guides the story instead of pushing it, helping the audience feel the slow build-up of fear, pride, and unbreakable courage.

In the end, 120 Bahadur becomes more than a war film, it becomes a reminder of loyalty, sacrifice, and the human stories behind every uniform. The film blends its characters, emotions, and battle sequences with care, allowing the tension to rise steadily until the final moments. With heartfelt performances, especially from Farhan Akhtar and Ankit Siwach, and a story that stays with you long after the credits roll, 120 Bahadur is already touching millions even before its release. It promises to be a film that audiences will remember not just for its action, but for the spirit of the heroes it honours.
