The highly anticipated epic, Love and War, directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali and starring Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal, is set to release on March 20, 2026.
The announcement has created a massive buzz, as fans eagerly await more updates on the film. What makes this release date significant is that it coincides with a major holiday stretch, strategically chosen by the makers to maximize viewership.
The film's release will coincide with some of the biggest festivals, including Ramzan, Ram Navami, and Gudi Padwa, providing an extended holiday window.
Sources suggest that the timing is perfect, as it allows the film to benefit from the long festive season, ensuring audiences can enjoy the movie across multiple celebrations. Given the grand scale of the project, releasing it during this period is seen as a brilliant move to enhance its reach and success.
One of the reasons for the growing excitement around Love and War is the collaboration between some of the industry's biggest names. This project marks the reunion of Ranbir Kapoor and Sanjay Leela Bhansali after their fallout following Ranbir’s debut in Saawariya (2007).
