Mumbai, March 16

In a significant development for one of the year's most anticipated war dramas, Salman Khan Films officially announced on Monday that the film previously titled 'Battle of Galwan' has been renamed.

The project will now be titled 'Maatrubhumi: May War Rest in Peace.'

The announcement was accompanied by a striking new poster featuring the updated title and tagline, "May War Rest in Peace."

Produced by Salman Khan under the Salman Khan Films banner, the movie is being helmed by director Apoorva Lakhia.

The film is based on the 2020 Galwan Valley clash between India and China. A teaser released in December last year offered a first look at Salman Khan in the role of an Indian Army officer.

The teaser shows him with a serious and restrained expression. The visuals depict rough terrain, cold weather, and close combat, offering a preview of the challenges soldiers face at high altitudes.

The promotional rollout for the film has already highlighted its diverse emotional scale. In January, the makers released the title track, "Maatrubhumi," composed by Himesh Reshammiya with lyrics by Sameer Anjaan.

The patriotic anthem, performed by Arijit Singh and Shreya Ghoshal, was designed to showcase the emotional core of the war drama.

In contrast to the heavy themes of conflict, the production house released a romantic track titled "Main Hoon" in February.

The song features Salman Khan alongside Chitrangda Singh, offering a look at the softer side of the narrative.

With the new title now locked in, the film remains on track for its scheduled theatrical debut. 'Maatrubhumi: May War Rest in Peace' is set to hit cinemas on April 17.

I appreciate the sentiment behind "May War Rest in Peace," but I hope the film does justice to the bravery of our soldiers without unnecessary jingoism. The Galwan clash is a sensitive and recent event for many families. The makers have a big responsibility.

Salman Khan as an Army officer? After Tiger, I'm ready for this! The teaser looked intense. Hope the film has the right mix of action and emotion. The title track by Arijit and Shreya is already on my playlist 🎵

Interesting move to change the title. "Maatrubhumi" has a more poetic, lasting feel to it. The poster is striking. As someone who follows geopolitics, I'm curious to see how they handle the narrative of such a complex border situation.

The romantic track feels a bit out of place for a film on this subject, but I guess they need to attract the family audience. My main hope is that the film truly honors the sacrifice of our bravehearts in Galwan. That's the least we owe them.

Respectful criticism: I wish they had cast a slightly younger actor for a physically demanding role set in high altitudes. But Salman's star power will bring people to theatres, which is important to tell this story. The new title is perfect.
