Dubai: Salman Khan is back in an Army uniform, leading from the front in Maatrubhumi: May War Rest in Peace. But the film's newly released trailer suggests there is more to this war drama than battlefield action, placing equal emphasis on courage, sacrifice, and the human cost of conflict.
The trailer, unveiled by the makers on November 11, offers a glimpse into the film inspired by the 2020 Galwan Valley clash between Indian and Chinese troops.
Salman plays Colonel Bikkumalla Santosh Babu, the officer who led the 16 Bihar Regiment during the confrontation. Sporting a rugged look, the actor is seen commanding his troops through tense border sequences, engaging in intense combat and standing firm amid the chaos.
However, the preview also moves beyond the battlefield to explore the emotional lives of soldiers and their families.
Alongside scenes of military action, viewers get glimpses of the personal sacrifices made by those in uniform, the uncertainty surrounding every goodbye and the families left waiting for their loved ones.
The film also appears to take a broader view of conflict, highlighting how war affects ordinary people on both sides. Its central message, reflected in the subtitle May War Rest in Peace, points towards the lasting pain of violence and the value of peace.
