Salman Khan unveiled Battle of Galwan teaser on his 60th birthday as a return gift to his fans. Everyone expected a powerful glimpse. Instead, the teaser sparked a loud online debate. Well, the focus was not the scale or the subject. It was Salman Khan’s facial expression during a war scene. Read to know what online users said!
Netizens Mock Salman Khan’s Facial Expression In Battle Of Galwan Teaser
The teaser shows Salman standing at the frontline of a battlefield. He holds his ground as the enemy charges towards him. The moment is meant to feel tense and heroic. However, many viewers felt something was off. Social media users quickly compared the shot to Game of Thrones’ famous Battle of the Bastards sequence. In that episode, Jon Snow stands alone with a sword as an army rushes at him. While the visual similarity caught attention, Salman’s calm and almost relaxed expression became the main talking point.
Soon after the teaser release, Reddit and other platforms filled with reactions. Many netizens questioned the emotion on Salman’s face. Some felt it lacked urgency, while others felt it did not suit a war situation.
Read some online comments below:
“U are in the middle of a battle at the front line, not relaxing at your farmhouse. Why the fck are you giving those expressions?”
“Aap battlefield bol Rahe ho, Bhai ko footpath Nazar araha hai, is lie itni Khushi hai.”
“I’ll be honest, it looks a lot like Jon Snow in The Battle of Bastards episode.”
“Aura farming.”
“That’s not a face of someone who’s get stormed by thousands of people! I’m just a regular guy and can understand this, how come the people who spent 20+ years in filmmaking can’t understand it?”
“Even Farhan Akhtar did a better job. Doesn’t feel like a soldier is saying this. And the way he is smiling at the incoming army is so crap. What’s wrong with these film makers man.”
“Felt like some parody of a war movie! Something off and weird.”
“Same single expression acting, like in Radhe, kkbkkj, Sikandar, Race 3, Dabangg 3, etc.”
“I could have shot this on my phone. What is this? They just stood at a location and shot half a minutes worth of stuff. How is this anything, let alone a teaser?”
About This Salman Khan Starrer
Battle of Galwan carries a serious subject. The film revisits the 2020 Galwan Valley clash between Indian and Chinese troops. It was a rare and intense border conflict. No firearms were used. Soldiers fought with sticks, stones, and sheer physical strength. The incident shocked the nation and remains a sensitive chapter in recent history.
The film is directed by Apoorva Lakhia. Chitrangda Singh stars opposite Salman Khan. Earlier this year, Salman spoke to PTI about the challenges of the role. He called it one of the most physically demanding films of his career. Salman said, “It is physically demanding. Every year, every month, every day it gets more and more difficult. I’ve to give more time now. Earlier, I would do it in one or two weeks. Now I’m running, kicking, punching and all that stuff. This film demands that.”
Salman was last seen in Sikandar, alongside Rashmika Mandanna. The film failed to impress critics and did not perform well at the box office. With Battle of Galwan, expectations are high due to its subject. Whether the final film changes opinions formed by the teaser remains to be seen.
