120 Bahadur to hold paid previews 3 DAYS before release; Excel Entertainment & Trigger Happy Studios announce historic nationwide screenings on Nov 18, 2025

In a bold move seldom seen in the Hindi film industry, the producers of 120 Bahadur Excel Entertainment and Trigger-Happy Studios are releasing select paid previews across India on Tuesday, 18 November 2025, a full three days in advance of its official theatrical release on 21 November 2025. The date isn’t arbitrary. The early screenings are timed to coincide with the 63rd anniversary of the Battle of Rezang La-one of the most heroic chapters in India’s military history and the film’s central inspiration-in 1962. With this bold step, 120 Bahadur now joins an exclusive club of Hindi films that have dared to offer audiences paid previews days ahead of release-a strategy that signals supreme confidence from the makers. According to the producers, the idea is two-fold-a tribute and a test. The early shows are designed as a homage to the brave soldiers of Rezang La, giving viewers an advance opportunity to experience the film’s emotional depth, large-scale action and patriotic intensity on a date steeped in significance. At the same time, it serves as a calculated gauge of audience sentiment, letting initial reactions organically build buzz in the lead-up to the wider national release. A source close to the production explains that this is not just a publicity call; it is an act of faith. They are confident that the emotion of the film would speak for itself, and paid previews on such an important date reinforce further the authenticity and respect with which 120 Bahadur has been made. With anticipation already building around the film’s ambitious scale and stirring narrative, this unprecedented preview strategy has only intensified industry curiosity. Whether or not the move proves to be a masterstroke, or a high-risk experiment will become clear as audiences line up for these special early screenings on November 18.

Circle Stock Plummets By Almost 70% Post-IPO Debut, Analysts Issue Warnings

The post Circle Stock Plummets By Almost 70% Post-IPO Debut, Analysts Issue Warnings appeared com. Following a notable debut on the Nasdaq earlier this year, Circle (CRCL), the issuer of the USDC stablecoin, has experienced a significant decline in its stock value. After hitting a peak of $298 on June 23, just 18 days post-launch, shares have now dropped by 68%, trading around $82. Circle Faces Challenges As Lockup Period Approaches Despite benefiting from a softer regulatory stance on digital assets in the US with President Trump’s crypto policies, Circle faces challenges that history does not favor, particularly as it approaches the end of its lockup period. Analysts, including Dan Dolev from Mizuho, highlighted that this lockup period prevents insiders from selling shares, typically for 180 days after an initial public offering. Circle’s initial public offering (IPO) filing indicated that this lockup period is set to expire two days after the company unveils its third-quarter earnings, which is this Friday. Mizuho’s analysis of over 750 IPOs with market capitalizations exceeding $1 billion reveals that 58% of companies that outperform the S&P 500 prior to their lockup period tend to underperform the index in the 180 days following it. These companies see an average decline of approximately 2%. The outlook is even bleaker for firms falling short of revenue expectations in the year after their IPOs, which tend to experience an average negative return of about 10% relative to the S&P 500. Circle may find itself in this latter category according to Mizuho. A significant portion of the company’s revenue comes from the interest on USDC reserves held in short-term US Treasuries, Treasury repurchase agreements, and cash. Consequently, a decline in interest rates or slower-than-anticipated growth of USDC could adversely impact revenue streams. Dolev noted: In our view, CRCL is likely to see downward revisions to consensus estimates over the coming years amid declining rates and.
