The teaser of a romantic song from Maatrubhumi: May War Rest In Peace has triggered mixed reactions online after fans expected a more serious tone from the war-based film. Actor Salman Khan recently shared a preview of the track “Chand Dekh Lena” and many viewers said they were disappointed to see a love song in a movie inspired by a real military conflict. The film was earlier titled Battle of Galwan, but the makers changed the name shortly before the teaser release, which has added to the discussion around the project.
The short clip, released on March 17, 2026, shows Salman Khan with Chitrangda Singh in a soft romantic setting. The visuals focus on emotions and chemistry instead of action, which surprised fans who were expecting intense war scenes.
In the teaser, Chitrangda is seen in a bright pink lehenga while Salman appears near a pool, dancing in a calm and dreamy sequence. Sharing the clip on social media, the actor wrote, “Maatrubhumi ka yeh gana, Chand Dekh Lena tumhey hum nazar ayenge.”

Why Battle Of Galwan Was Renamed Maatrubhumi
The film has gone through several changes in recent months. It was earlier titled Battle of Galwan, but on March 16, Salman Khan announced the new name, Maatrubhumi: May War Rest in Peace. The new title suggests a shift from a pure war story to a more emotional and reflective narrative.
Directed by Apoorva Lakhia, the movie is inspired by the 2020 Galwan Valley clash between India and China. Salman Khan plays the role of late Colonel Bikumalla Santosh Babu, who led Indian troops during the conflict.
The film was first shot in Ladakh in September 2025, and most of the work was completed by December. However, the team later decided to make changes. Since February 2026, Salman and the director have been reshooting several scenes in Mumbai, with nearly 40 days of additional filming planned.
Reports also say that new sequences, including a Chinese song composed by Himesh Reshammiya, are being added. The makers are trying to give the film a more balanced message because of the current situation between India and China.
As per a Mid-Day report, tensions between the two countries have eased slightly in recent times. Because of this sensitive situation, the makers felt that a film focusing only on the 2020 Galwan clash could affect the delicate relationship. Salman Khan and Apoorva Lakhia therefore discussed changes in the script and decided to add themes of peace, harmony and the meaninglessness of war to the story.
