Interesting facts

L.A.C. Battle of Galwan is a 2025 Indian Hindi-language war film written and directed by Nitin Kumar Gupta. Based on the 2020 Galwan Valley clash between India and China at the Line of Actual Control (L.A.C.), it is notable for being India's first single-shot war film, filmed in one continuous 83-minute take. The film stars Rahul Roy, Nishant Singh Malkani, and Vishal Sharma.

Production

Following the Galwan Valley clash in June 2020, director Nitin Kumar Gupta decided to create a tribute to the 20 soldiers who died in the conflict. The film was conceived as a single-shot feature to reflect the continuous nature of the actual combat.

Principal photography took place in November 2020 in Kargil, Ladakh, at temperatures of minus 14°C. The entire film was shot in one continuous take without cuts or edits. During production, lead actor Rahul Roy suffered a brain stroke due to the extreme weather conditions and had to be airlifted first to Srinagar and then to Nanavati Hospital in Mumbai.
