Amidst all the confusion and speculations surrounding the release date of Love & War, Variety has reported that Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ambitious project is now slated to release on August 14, 2026, aligning perfectly with the Independence Day weekend. This strategic release window gives the film a massive advantage, promising an extended holiday run and an opportunity to dominate the box office if strong word of mouth. However, there's no official word regarding the same.
If news is anything to go by, this will mark Bhansali’s first-ever Independence Day release, and now, all eyes are on it. With the filmmaker’s record of movies, vision, and a powerful star cast, Love & War is poised to be one of the biggest cinematic events of 2026.
