Salman Khan’s Maatrubhumi has not confirmed its release date yet. Recent developments suggest the film will not arrive in May as planned earlier. This update has created uncertainty among fans and industry observers.
The film underwent reshoots after a request from the Ministry of Defence. The changes were made to ensure that India and China relations are not affected. Despite these revisions, the new cut is now facing fresh issues.
According to a Bollywood Hungama insider, releasing the film in May is not possible. The delay is linked to censorship concerns and approval for the film’s content. Based on the current situation, a June release is now being considered.
Repeated delays have left Salman Khan’s fans frustrated. Many have criticised the makers for not sticking to announced timelines. This has also impacted the overall buzz surrounding the film.
Trade experts have raised concerns about the rising budget due to delays. They referred to past cases where such situations affected box office recovery. Even content driven films have struggled to recover costs in similar scenarios.
Critics also pointed out that Salman Khan is going through a challenging phase. His recent films have struggled to cross Rs. 100 crores. If the budget increases further, the film may face financial risks.
There is also concern about the lack of strong promotional buzz. Songs and other promotional material have not created much impact so far. The trailer is yet to be released, which is expected to give better clarity.
Fans are now waiting for official updates from the makers. The coming weeks will be crucial for the film’s release plan. It remains to be seen if Maatrubhumi can meet expectations and perform well at the box office.
