The teaser of Battle of Galwan has drawn heavy criticism on social media. Salman Khan’s looks and expressions disappointed many viewers. The response has been largely negative across platforms.
Salman Khan plays real-life hero Colonel B. Santosh Babu in the film. Many users felt his performance was underwhelming. They claimed it disrespects the legacy of the fallen soldier.
Fans had hoped the first single would change opinions. However, expectations were not met. The song Maatrubhumi failed to create a strong positive impact.
The early reaction focused mainly on Salman Khan’s body language. While he appears decent in the family portions of the song, his expressions during battle preparation came under scrutiny. Viewers felt the intensity was missing.
Throughout the music video, Salman Khan appeared low on energy. Though marginally better than the teaser, the overall impression remained dull. This further weakened confidence in the film.
With expectations already lowered, fans and followers of Colonel Santosh Babu expressed concern. Many stated the film might end up being a disservice to his legacy. Several also said the portrayal lacks seriousness.
There were hopes that Battle of Galwan could mark a box office comeback for Salman Khan. At present, that belief seems uncertain. Audience confidence remains shaky based on the promotional material released so far.
