Salman Khan’s war drama Maatrubhumi is finally heading to the CBFC this week. That’s the only confirmed detail right now. The film, once called Battle of Galwan, has been in limbo since reshoots were ordered after concerns over its original anti-China tone. Now, with the title changed and the version reworked, it’s set for certification — a step that could unlock a Diwali or Christmas release.

No date yet. Just the possibility. And the usual questions: will it be cleared? Will it land on time?

Or will the festive window slip again? The film stars Salman alongside Chitrangda Singh, directed by Apoorva Lakhia. It’s his first project since The Accidental Prime Minister. The makers say no government intervention ever halted production, though reports of clearance from the Information and Broadcasting Ministry have circulated.

A source close to the project denies any official block. So what’s next? Wait for the CBFC verdict. Then, maybe, a trailer.

Maybe not. But one thing’s certain: if it clears, the release window is already being treated like a prize. Diwali. Christmas.

Both are on the table. Neither is guaranteed. The clock’s ticking. And Salman’s last solo outing was Sikandar in 2025.

This one’s got more weight than just another action flick. It’s a comeback. A statement. A test.

The board’s about to decide if it can even speak.
