Salman’s Matrubhoomi trailer released, shows Galwan conflict and Bihari spirit
CNN Central News & Networks / ITDC India ePress / ITDC News / Agencies, Bhopal:
The trailer of Salman Khan’s much-awaited film ‘Matrubhoomi: May War Rest in Peace’ has been released. In the film, Salman is seen playing an officer of the Indian Army’s 16 Bihar Regiment. The story is inspired by the 2020 Galwan Valley conflict, in which a violent clash took place between Indian and Chinese soldiers. The trailer gives prominence to patriotism, the sacrifice of soldiers, family emotions and the human impact of war.
The trailer opens with snow-covered mountainous terrain and Indian soldiers deployed at the border. Salman’s character steps forward for duty at the border despite his family’s concerns. Actress Chitrangda Singh plays his wife. Scenes centred on family emotions between the two give the story an emotional base. The trailer also presents the spirit of the Bihar Regiment through dialogue such as “One Bihari is equal to a hundred.”
The film’s story does not appear to be limited only to the India-China confrontation. It also gives space to the need for peace amid war and to the impact on the soldiers of both countries and their families. In one dialogue, Salman’s character says patriotism and humanity lie not in eliminating the enemy, but in ending enmity.
On questions raised about the film’s approach towards China, Salman has already clarified that this is not a film against any country, but the story of the struggles of soldiers and their families. Directed by Apoorva Lakhia, the film will be released in cinemas on December 4, 2026.
Audience reactions to the trailer have been mixed. Some people have praised Salman’s action and patriotic style, while others have questioned the visual effects and the lengthy trailer.
