Salman Khan & Chitrangda Singh’s Romantic Track ‘Main Hoon’ from Battle of Galwan Divides the Internet on Valentine’s Day

Adding a touch of romance to his high-octane war drama, Salman Khan released the second track, ‘Main Hoon’, from Battle of Galwan today, February 14, 2026. Directed by Apoorva Lakhia, the film features Salman as Colonel Bikkumalla Santosh Babu, and this Valentine’s special song pivots from the battlefield to offer a tender glimpse into the personal life and sacrifices of a soldier.

Composed by Ayaan Lall (son of veteran actress Kunickaa Sadanand), the song features the soulful vocals of Shreya Ghoshal alongside Lall himself. While the music video, shot against breathtaking Himalayan landscapes, showcases a fresh and elegant chemistry between Salman and Chitrangda Singh, the audio has met with a polarized reception on social media.

Netizens’ Verdict: Visuals over Vocals?

While many fans praised the “breathtaking visuals” and Salman’s “restrained, intense look,” others were less impressed with the track’s composition and the male vocals.

• The Praise: Some users called it a “heartfelt anthem” and praised Shreya Ghoshal for “carrying the emotional weight of the song.”
• The Critique: Critics on X (formerly Twitter) labeled the song “unmemorable,” with one viral comment stating, “Bhai sahi lag rahe hai, baaki male singer aur lyrics bekaar hain” (Salman looks good, but the male singer and lyrics are poor).

Release Date Update

Although initially slated for an April 17 release, trade buzz suggests a significant shift. Due to ongoing reshoots at Mumbai’s Golden Tobacco Factory and the mandatory screening for the Ministry of Defence, the film is now reportedly eyeing an Independence Day release (August 14, 2026) to capitalize on the patriotic fervor.
