A festive release has quickly turned into a major music moment for Maatrubhumi: May War Rest in Peace. The film’s latest song, Chand Dekh Lena, has crossed 25 million views across platforms within just 24 hours, giving Salman Khan Films another strong promotional high point as the war drama builds toward its theatrical release.
Released around Eid, the track has struck a tender emotional note with viewers through its blend of longing, romance, and separation. Set against the backdrop of a soldier’s life and the quiet resilience of the family left waiting at home, the song leans into feeling rather than spectacle, and that seems to be exactly what connected with audiences so quickly.
Chand Dekh Lena Turns Eid Release Into A Major Music Win
The makers celebrated the feat with a social media message that read, “A melody that found its way to your hearts. #ChandDekhLena crosses 25 Million+ views across platforms! Thank you for the love.” That response has made the song one of the film’s fastest-rising music assets so far.
Chand Dekh Lena features Salman Khan and Chitrangada Singh, and presents an intimate, emotionally charged glimpse into the personal cost of military duty. The song was sung by Nihal Tauro and Ankona Mukherjee, with its soft, yearning mood adding another layer to the film’s increasingly successful music campaign.
Its performance also continues a noticeable trend for the film’s soundtrack. Ahead of this, the Maatrubhumi title track had crossed 50 million views across platforms, while the Valentine’s Day single Main Hoon added to the film’s growing musical recall. With Chand Dekh Lena now posting a 25 million-plus opening day across platforms, the soundtrack has clearly become one of the film’s strongest talking points. That sustained musical traction has also sharpened attention on the film itself, moving the conversation from individual songs to the larger scale of the project.
Apoorva Lakhia’s War Drama Builds Momentum Beyond Its Soundtrack
Directed by Apoorva Lakhia and produced by Salma Khan under the Salman Khan Films banner, Maatrubhumi: May War Rest in Peace stars Salman Khan and Chitrangada Singh in the lead. The film was previously known as Battle of Galwan before being retitled. Its story is inspired by the 2020 Galwan Valley clash and frames the subject through both battlefield courage and the emotional burden carried by loved ones at home.
The film’s promotional material has consistently foregrounded themes of bravery, sacrifice, and peace, while the songs have added a softer emotional counterpoint to that larger war drama setting. That combination is helping the film stand out early.
Maatrubhumi: May War Rest in Peace has emerged as one of Salman Khan Films’ most closely watched projects of 2026, and the music is doing heavy lifting in shaping audience anticipation. The response to Chand Dekh Lena confirms that the film has already found a strong emotional bridge with listeners well before release day.
