Amid the growing buzz around Border 2, the creators of Battle of Galwan unveiled the first song of the Salman Khan starrer ahead of Republic Day. Titled “Maatrubhumi”, the song offers a poignant look at the emotional and patriotic core of the film, which stars Salman Khan alongside Chitrangada Singh. The video shows Salman singing a patriotic song to his wife and children, and then the footage switches to the battlefield.
Composed by Salman Khan’s long-time collaborator Himesh Reshammiya, the song is composed by Arijit Singh, Shreya Ghoshal and Master Mani Dharamkot. The lyrics are written by Sameer Anjaan, adding emotional weight to the visuals.
The song begins with wide shots of the Galwan Valley, followed by the Indian tricolor flag and a platoon of Indian Army soldiers. The narrative then moves to Salman Khan’s personal life, showing moments with his wife and children as he lends vocals to the song. As the track progresses, it cuts to battlefield scenes.
Watch the song here:
One sequence that stood out shows a symbolic gesture of peace, with Salman’s character offering a namaste as a Chinese commander bows in recognition. The images also hint at a turning point in the conflict, showing Chinese troops waving the white flag, while a bruised but determined Salman remains adamant. The song concludes with a powerful image of the platoon forming the Indian flag.
Shortly after its release, the song’s comments section was flooded with reactions. While many celebrated the much-loved collaboration between Salman Khan and Arijit Singh, others compared the Salman Khan starrer to Dhurandhar and Border 2. One fan wrote, “Yeh gaana sirf 2:24 minutes ka nahi, poor ek ghante ka hona chahiye,” while another commented, “Iss baar Bajrangi Bhaijaan wali feeling a rahi hai. Blockbuster.” However, there were some who were disappointed with the song. A user shared on
