Watching a Salman Khan film for just ₹11? Moviegoers above the age of 75 have a special reason to look forward to the actor’s upcoming war drama, Maatrubhumi: May War Rest in Peace. At the film’s trailer launch in Mumbai on November 6, Salman announced that senior citizens above 75 years of age would be able to watch the film by purchasing tickets for just ₹11.
The announcement came as a special gesture towards elderly audiences, particularly those who may find increasingly expensive cinema tickets a barrier to watching films in theatres. Sharing the news with the media, Salman said, “Humne 75 ke upar ke logon ka ticket rakha hai 11 rupaye.”
The announcement quickly became one of the talking points from the trailer launch, which also saw Salman address questions surrounding the film’s repeated release delays, reported reshoots and speculation about government-related interference.
Who can watch Maatrubhumi for ₹11?
Salman’s special ticket announcement is specifically for people above the age of 75. Eligible senior citizens will be able to watch Maatrubhumi: May War Rest in Peace for a ticket price of ₹11.
The announcement was made during the film’s trailer launch event in Mumbai on Friday, November 6. However, the makers have not yet publicly detailed the booking procedure, participating cinema chains, identification requirements or whether the offer will be available for every show.
Senior citizens interested in using the offer should therefore look out for the official booking announcement closer to the film’s theatrical release.
The initiative stands out at a time when movie ticket prices can vary considerably across theatres, locations and show timings. By announcing a special price for elderly viewers, Salman has brought attention to an audience that does not always receive dedicated cinema-ticket offers.
Salman Khan addresses Maatrubhumi controversy and rumours
The trailer launch also gave Salman an opportunity to respond to speculation surrounding the film’s production and release. Maatrubhumi has been in the news for months because of its changing release schedule, reported reshoots and alleged concerns surrounding its subject.
Dismissing claims that the makers faced pressure to alter the film, Salman called the reports “bakwas”. He explained that the story focuses on the experiences of soldiers serving the country and the difficulties their families face while their loved ones are away on duty.
“Bakwas hai. It’s not true at all. Humne picture banayi hai soldiers ke upar, on what they go through, what their families go through. Isme koi negative forces nahi hai. Bas haalaat hai negative,” the actor said.
His comments offered an insight into the emotional direction of the film. According to Salman, the story is not simply about a military confrontation but also about the human circumstances surrounding soldiers and their families.
What is Maatrubhumi about?
Initially announced under the title Battle of Galwan, the film draws inspiration from the June 2020 clash between Indian and Chinese troops in the Galwan Valley in eastern Ladakh.
Salman plays Colonel Bikkumalla Santosh Babu, the commanding officer of the 16 Bihar Regiment who led Indian troops during the confrontation. He was posthumously awarded the Maha Vir Chakra for his bravery.
The film aims to explore the experiences of military personnel, their sacrifices and the emotional challenges faced by their families. Salman’s comments at the trailer launch also suggested that the makers want audiences to look beyond the battlefield and understand the human cost of conflict.
When will Maatrubhumi release in theatres?
Directed by Apoorva Lakhia, Maatrubhumi: May War Rest in Peace will release in cinemas on December 4, 2026. The film was earlier scheduled for November 20 before the makers announced a change in the release plan.
The cast includes Salman Khan, Chitrangda Singh, Abhilash Chaudhary and Ankur Bhatia, among others. The film’s journey to theatres has involved multiple schedule changes, with the actor recently explaining that the team needed additional time to complete the visual effects and that Chitrangda Singh’s injury also affected the production timeline.
With the trailer now unveiled and the December 4 release date confirmed, the film is preparing for its theatrical debut.
Salman’s ₹11 ticket announcement has added another talking point to the film’s promotional campaign. While the special price is aimed at senior citizens above 75, further details about how eligible viewers can book these tickets are still awaited. For now, the announcement offers elderly fans an opportunity to watch the actor’s upcoming film at a significantly reduced price.
