Maatrubhumi Trailer: Salman Khan’s Galwan War Drama, Release Date, Cast and Story

Salman Khan in uniform, snow-covered ridges, and a story every Indian remembers. The trailer for Maatrubhumi dropped on November 10, and fans are already calling it the most intense look at Salman in years.

At around four minutes, it’s a long trailer. It spends as much time on the soldier’s family life as on the battlefield. Here’s everything you need to know before the film’s December release.

What Is Maatrubhumi About?

The film is inspired by the June 2020 clashes between Indian and Chinese soldiers in the Galwan Valley in Ladakh, in which 20 Indian soldiers lost their lives. Salman plays a soldier from the 16 Bihar Regiment, described as a man who puts his country before everything else.

Maatrubhumi Trailer Highlights

The trailer balances two sides of its hero. On the border there’s large-scale action, freezing landscapes and the build-up to the clash. At home, there are emotional moments with his wife (Chitrangada Singh) and children. The patriotic dialogue has already become meme material, in the good way.

Not everyone is convinced, though. Some viewers have questioned the de-ageing effects used on Salman in a few shots. Expect that debate to continue until release.

Maatrubhumi Cast

Salman Khan leads as the soldier, with Chitrangada Singh as his wife. Jain Shah and Abhishri Sen play key roles. The film has also been through some cast changes; read about the Shiv Aroor and Rahul Singh exit.

Maatrubhumi Songs

The music is by Himesh Reshammiya, Ravi Basrur and Ayan Lal. The songs released so far are the title track “Maatrubhumi”, “Main Hoon”, “Chand Dekh Loon” and “Jai Hind”.

When Is Maatrubhumi Releasing?

Maatrubhumi opens worldwide in cinemas on December 4, 2026. That gives it a few clear weeks before Shah Rukh Khan’s King arrives on December 24.
