Salman Khan's Battle Of Galwan To Arrive April 2026; Avoids Eid Release Against Dhurandhar 2 & Toxic; Alpha Postponed –

Salman Khan's Battle Of Galwan in April 2026:

The Bollywood release calendar for 2026 is slowly taking shape, and April is emerging as one of the most competitive months of the year. Salman Khan’s much-awaited film Galwan is now confirmed to arrive in April 2026, leading to several reshuffles in the industry’s release plans. The development has reportedly prompted Alia Bhatt and Sharvari’s Alpha to be postponed, with the makers choosing to avoid a direct box office clash with the Salman Khan starrer.

With Galwan locking an April release, producers of other big titles are reworking their strategies to secure a safer window. March 2026 already looks packed with two major releases — Dhurandhar 2 and Toxic. Dhurandhar Part 2 expected to command massive screen counts and audience attention, making the month highly competitive and then might even do some damage to April releases.

As a result, Bhooth Bangla, which was initially slated for early April, may see a postponement to avoid overcrowding. The horror-comedy’s makers are reportedly keen on a clearer release window to maximize box office potential. Meanwhile, Awarapan 2 is also lined up for April 2026 first week release, further intensifying competition during the month.

The arrival of Galwan adds significant weight to April’s lineup. Given Salman Khan’s strong theatrical pull, exhibitors are expected to prioritize the film with wider releases and premium screens. This has made April a tricky period for mid- and big-budget films alike. From what we have seen with Dhurandhar impacting the business of Avatar Fire and Ash and Tu Meri Main Ters Main Tera Tu Meri, Dhurandhar 2 might to the same to Awarapan 2 and Battle of Galwan.

Overall, the first half of 2026 is shaping up to be a high-stakes battleground at the box office. With back-to-back big releases across March and April, strategic scheduling will play a crucial role in determining which films emerge successful and which choose to step aside to avoid the clash.
