The Battle of Galwan teaser opens at a windswept valley—verdant slopes, rugged rises, and a river shifting its way through the rocks. As the teaser unfolds on the battleground, we hear Salman Khan’s sonorous voice reverberating, bathed with ferocity that could wipe out foes and a calm that embraces death. The narrative roots in an instinctive, impassioned battle cry that rechoes through the country’s soul and spirit.
“Jawan-o yaad rahe, zakhm lage toh medal samajhna, aur maut dikhe toh salaam karna”—it follows by hailing India. Soon, that fades, and we see a wounded Salman Khan, who plays Colonel Bikkumalla Santosh Babu, gripping a thick bole in his hand, with his eyes blazing with fury, and summoning the menace to unleash by the foes, while he remains unflinching to fight it back with his army rallying behind.
The Battle of Galwan builds on true events. The narrative sets out the events that took place between the Indian and Chinese troops at the Galwan region back in 2020—at that time, only 200 soldiers bravely defended the territory against a force of 1200 Chinese Liberation Army soldiers. It etches as a moment of pride for India—prompting a toast to the sacrifices of those soldiers who refused to step back, holding their ground against all the overwhelming odds in the valley. And now, what glory that The Battle of Galwan film breathes life into the colossal annals left behind, giving us a chance to witness the bravery our soldiers exemplified at the borders.
Written by Shiv Aroor, Chintan Gandhi, and Suresh Nair, Battle of Galwan is directed by Apoorva Lakhia and produced by Salman Khan Films. The film features Salman Khan in the lead role, followed by Chitrangada Singh and others. All set to hit the theatres on 17th April, 2026, the film summons love for the nation, India. Jai Hind.
