Salman Khan Shares Powerful ‘Maatrubhumi’ Teaser from Battle of Galwan; Patriotic Song Set to Drop on January 24
Mumbai: In a stirring pre-Republic Day move, Salman Khan Films has released the official teaser of the highly anticipated patriotic song “Maatrubhumi” from the upcoming war drama Battle of Galwan, starring Salman Khan himself. The full track is scheduled to be released on January 24, 2026, just ahead of Republic Day — a deliberate timing intended to evoke strong national pride and pay tribute to the country’s armed forces.
The 15-second teaser — shared by Salman Khan on his official Instagram handle — opens with the resonant sound of a military bugle that immediately sets a solemn, powerful tone. Moments later, visuals of the Indian tricolour standing proud against rugged terrain and symbolic shots of bravery and sacrifice appear, accompanied by a building musical score that hints at the emotional weight of the forthcoming song.
Composed by Himesh Reshammiya with heartfelt lyrics penned by Sameer Anjaan, “Maatrubhumi” will be sung by two of Bollywood’s most revered voices, Arijit Singh and Shreya Ghoshal. This creative collaboration has raised expectations that the song will not only deliver musical finesse but also an emotional depth befitting the film’s themes of courage, sacrifice and love for the motherland.
A Patriotic Anthem Ahead of Republic Day
The decision to launch the full song on January 24 — just ahead of Republic Day on January 26 — underscores the filmmakers’ intent to position Battle of Galwan as more than a commercial cinematic release; it is being framed as a musical tribute to India’s brave soldiers and a reminder of the nation’s enduring spirit. The song’s title, “Maatrubhumi” (meaning “motherland”), further highlights this emotional connection to the country and those who defend it.
The teaser’s imagery — from the bugle calls to the tricolour waving against adversity — evokes a sense of reverence and respect. Early responses on social media suggest that fans are excited not only for the song itself but also for how Battle of Galwan is positioning its music as part of a broader patriotic narrative.
From Teaser to Full Song
While the short teaser does not reveal the complete song, its carefully chosen elements — thematic visuals of soldiers, the bugle’s echoing call, and the Indian flag’s resilience — point to a musical piece designed to be both emotionally moving and musically profound. The full song’s release on January 24 is expected to give audiences a clearer sense of its lyrical depth and melodic structure.
The song will be released on the Salman Khan Films music channel, where fans can experience the complete track, accompanied by visuals from the film’s timeline or specially created music video footage. The involvement of Arijit Singh and Shreya Ghoshal — both known for their soulful and expressive voices — adds to the anticipation, as fans expect a performance that will match the film’s dramatic tone.
Battle of Galwan: A Much-Awaited War Drama
Battle of Galwan — directed by Apoorva Lakhia and produced by Salman Khan Films — dramatizes the June 2020 clash between Indian and Chinese troops in the Galwan Valley, one of the most serious and intense confrontations along the Line of Actual Control (LAC). The film stars Salman Khan as an army officer and features Chitrangda Singh in a pivotal role, promising an emotionally charged narrative of bravery, resilience and sacrifice.
The film’s theatrical release is scheduled for April 17, 2026, giving audiences several months of buildup, which the trailer and now the song teasers are helping to sustain. Earlier teasers and discussion around the film have sparked both excitement and debate online, with some global media attention and commentary on its portrayal of historical events.
Musical Legacy and Audience Expectations
Music has always played a powerful role in Bollywood’s storytelling tradition, especially in films with patriotic themes. Songs that honour the nation and its heroes often become cultural touchpoints, resonating beyond the screen and finding a place in public sentiment. With “Maatrubhumi,” the Battle of Galwan team appears to be embracing this tradition, using music to reinforce the film’s emotional and thematic core.
As Republic Day approaches, the release of this song — and the way it ties into national feelings of pride and remembrance — is likely to be watched closely by audiences across India. Whether “Maatrubhumi” becomes a lasting anthem of patriotic cinema remains to be seen, but early indicators suggest it will make a strong impression.
