Chitrangada Singh makes a strong impression in ‘Maatrubhumi’, the first song released from Salman Khan’s upcoming film Battle of Galwan. While the track carries patriotic undertones, it is Chitrangada’s composed and understated screen presence that lends it emotional depth, positioning her as a key emotional anchor in the narrative.

Battle of Galwan: Chitrangada Singh emerges as the emotional core of the film’s first song ‘Maatrubhumi’

In the song, Chitrangada is seen embodying quiet strength and dignity, reflecting the inner world of those whose lives are shaped by duty and sacrifice away from the battlefield. Styled in simple sarees and minimal makeup, her look stays rooted in tradition, reinforcing a sense of realism and cultural grounding rather than visual spectacle. The restraint in her portrayal allows the emotion to unfold subtly, making her performance resonate without overt dramatics.

Rather than serving as a peripheral presence, her character contributes meaningfully to the film’s emotional landscape. ‘Maatrubhumi’ highlights the human cost of conflict beyond frontline action, drawing attention to the resilience of families who live with uncertainty and loss. Through Chitrangada’s performance, the song underscores that patriotism is not limited to acts of bravery in combat but is equally reflected in endurance, patience and emotional strength at home.

Battle of Galwan is directed by Apoorva Lakhia and produced by Salman Khan under the banner of Salman Khan Films. The film stars Salman Khan and Chitrangada Singh in lead roles and is based on a chapter from Shiv Aroor’s non-fiction book India’s Most Fearless. It depicts the 2020 China–India skirmishes at the Line of Actual Control, involving soldiers of the Indian Army’s 16 Bihar Regiment led by Colonel B. Santosh Babu.

Scheduled for a worldwide theatrical release on April 17, 2026, Battle of Galwan aims to balance large-scale war drama with personal, emotional storytelling. With ‘Maatrubhumi’, the film offers an early glimpse into that approach, positioning Chitrangada Singh’s role as an integral part of the narrative rather than a symbolic add-on.

The song sets the tone for a story that seeks to explore not just courage on the battlefield, but also the quieter sacrifices that shape the lives of those connected to it.
