Salman Khan Debuts ‘Maatrubhumi,’ First Song From Battle of Galwan

The patriotic track intercuts family and frontline visuals to set the film’s emotional tone ahead of an April 17 theatrical release.

Overview

  • Released on January 24, the six‑minute “Maatrubhumi” is composed by Himesh Reshammiya with lyrics by Sameer Anjaan and vocals by Arijit Singh, Shreya Ghoshal and Master Mani Dharamkot.
  • The music video presents Salman Khan’s soldier in alternating home and battlefield sequences and unveils Chitrangda Singh as his on‑screen spouse.
  • Reshammiya said composing the anthem was “deeply emotional,” describing the reunion with Khan and the collaboration with Singh and Ghoshal as special.
  • Initial online reactions note strong patriotic appeal and music alongside criticism of Khan’s lip‑sync and performance in parts of the video.
  • Produced by Salman Khan Films and directed by Apoorva Lakhia, the movie dramatizes the 2020 Galwan Valley clash with a lead inspired by Col. B. Santosh Babu, and it remains slated for April 17, 2026, after earlier scrutiny from China’s Global Times over its portrayal.
