The release of 120 Bahadur with Indian Sign Language (ISL) interpretation has received an overwhelming response from Deaf audiences across India. The special screenings, held in partnership with India Signing Hands, gave Deaf and hard-of-hearing viewers an opportunity to experience the film in theatres with ISL interpretation and closed captions.

For many viewers, this was more than just watching a film. It was an opportunity to experience a mainstream theatrical movie in a language they could fully understand and connect with. Audience members shared emotional reactions, praised the quality of the interpretation and expressed how meaningful it was to finally experience a major film in ISL.

The screenings also highlighted the strong demand for accessible cinema. Viewers expressed their appreciation for the initiative and hoped that more films would be released with ISL interpretation in theatres.

The response to 120 Bahadur shows that accessibility can make cinema more inclusive while allowing Deaf audiences to experience the same stories, emotions and excitement as everyone else.

At India Signing Hands, we believe accessibility should not be an extra feature — it should be a part of the cinematic experience. The journey of 120 Bahadur is another step towards making mainstream entertainment more accessible to the Deaf community.

Thank you to everyone who watched the film, shared their feedback and supported this important step towards inclusive cinema.
