Salman Khan’s new song, Teri Sexy Beauty, from his upcoming film Maatrubhumi: May War Rest in Peace, has sparked a debate among viewers, with some welcoming the actor’s return to playback singing while others questioning the track’s fit in a film associated with the 2020 Galwan Valley clash.
Released on November 4, the lively romantic number features Salman alongside Chitrangda Singh. The song also marks Salman’s return to playback singing after 11 years, making its release notable beyond the film’s promotional campaign.

Salman Khan surprises fans with an early-morning release
Salman introduced the song through an Instagram post at around 5 AM on November 4. His caption referenced a 5:12 AM departure, two drinks and an uncertain landing, echoing the playful theme of the track.
The music video features Salman and Chitrangda in a romantic setting, with dancing and flirtatious moments. The release came as a surprise to followers who were not expecting the song so early in the morning.
The track features vocals by Salman Khan and Muskaan, with additional vocals by Sajid Khan. Its official video credits identify it as an Himesh Reshammiya musical, while listing Sajid Khan for music and lyrics. Caesar Gonsalves is credited with choreography.
Why are viewers divided over the song?
The response has not been entirely celebratory. While some listeners have welcomed Salman’s singing comeback and enjoyed the upbeat track, other viewers have questioned its place in Maatrubhumi.
The debate largely centres on the contrast between the song’s lighthearted romantic presentation and the serious subject associated with the film.
Maatrubhumi: May War Rest in Peace, previously titled Battle of Galwan, draws inspiration from the 2020 confrontation between Indian and Chinese troops in the Galwan Valley. Twenty Indian Army personnel, including Colonel Bikkumalla Santosh Babu, died in the clash.
Gulf News reported criticism from social media users who questioned the decision to include a playful party-style number in a film connected to such a sensitive military episode. At the same time, some viewers defended the song and welcomed Salman’s return to the microphone.
The discussion raises a question about the film’s musical direction, although the release of one romantic track alone does not establish how the entire film will balance its personal and military themes.
What is known about Maatrubhumi?
Directed by Apoorva Lakhia and produced by Salma Khan under Salman Khan Films, Maatrubhumi: May War Rest in Peace stars Salman Khan and Chitrangda Singh.
The project was previously scheduled for an April 2026 theatrical release but was postponed. The makers also rejected reports that the film had been shelved. However, no revised official release date has been announced.
For now, Teri Sexy Beauty has given audiences another glimpse of the film while bringing an unexpected discussion into its promotional campaign. Whether viewers ultimately embrace the song’s contrasting tone may become clearer as more material from Maatrubhumi is released.
