Battle of Galwan: Salman Khan’s 60th birthday celebrating the milestone with a discreet party is release the teaser of Battle of Galwan, a movie which has found inspiration in one of the most challenging military experiences in recent Indian history.
Salman Khan decided to join the cast of a movie where the action does not have to do with mere entertainment but with restraint and reality. This was a move that surprised people since most other stars in his conditions would have preferred to focus on slowing down the pace of their careers.
Battle of Galwan: A Teaser That Sets the Tone
The preview in one minute does not feature unnecessary extravagance. Filmed on extreme landscapes, Khan begins to speak to his troops. There is determination, not anger and one instance where he troops hold on to stones and trees to demonstrate that this was a battle fought without weapons.
The muscle structure of Khan becomes recognizable, however, the mood here seems somewhat subdued, realizing that this film may resort to emotion rather than bravado.
What is the Battle of Galwan
Battle of Galwan is inspired by the June 2020 clash between Indian and Chinese soldiers in Ladakh’s Galwan River valley. The clash took place along the Line of Actual Control, where both countries function in line with an understanding that does not allow weapons.

This is followed by a hand to hand combat fight that involves sticks, stones and endurance. The Indian military suffered deaths and the Chinese later reported their deaths months later.
Battle of Galwan: From Tension to Tragedy
The escalation of events to the final clash was characterized by a degree of distrust and an increased presence of troops. Following negotiations between local military commanders in early June, a buffer zone was established.
But in an incident triggered by the detection of a Chinese camp inside the zone by an Indian patrol team, a routine check turned violent. It resulted in the deadliest India-China border clash in over four decades.

Salman Khan as Colonel Santosh Babu
In the teaser, Khan is seen playing Colonel Bikkumalla Santosh Babu, who led from the front during the encounter. His demeanor is tough, with his looks etched by the vagaries of nature. There is no dramatic heroism, just his authority. The last shots, where he locks his eyes with that of the camera, reinforce this impression that his performance is driven by his resolve.
Battle of Galwan Release
Bollywood film Battle of Galwan, directed by Apoorva Lakhia and produced by the label Salman Khan Films, will also feature the likes of Chitrangada Singh.
