‘Maatrubhumi’, the first song from Salman Khan-headliner upcoming war-actioner Battle of Galwan, was unveiled by the makers on Saturday. The song has been sung by Arijit Singh, Shreya Ghoshal and Master Mani Dharamkot with music by Himesh Reshammiya and lyrics by Sameer Anjaan.
The song features Salman as an Indian Army officer and Chitrangada Singh plays his dutiful wife. The couple also has two young children. The visuals jump between moments of warmth within their home and stark, stirring glimpses of the Galwan battlefield. As the family is seen singing the song, these domestic frames are intercut with scenes of duty and conflict, juxtaposing love, sacrifice, and service to the nation.
Speaking about the song, Himesh said, “Composing ‘Maatrubhumi’ for Battle of Galwan was deeply emotional. Inspired by the rhythm and intensity of army beats, the song found its soul there. Collaborating with Arijit Singh and Shreya Ghoshal was special, and of course reuniting with Salman Khan, also marking the music release from Salman Khan Films Music label, makes it truly memorable.”
Battle of Galwan has been directed by Apoorva Lakhia and is scheduled to release in theatres on April 17.
