Love & War: Alia Bhatt's first look brings retro glamour to the screen
Alia Bhatt’s first look from Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Love & War has been unveiled. A day after the makers released Ranbir Kapoor’s character poster, Alia’s poster places her at the centre of a lavish retro-inspired frame.
The reveal comes ahead of the film’s worldwide release on January 21, 2027 in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu. After Ranbir’s vintage and rugged avatar, Alia now steps into focus with a look marked by bold styling, a striking headpiece and a poised expression.
In the poster, Alia is seated on a chair in a dramatic red-and-black ensemble.
The setting follows the same dramatic tone. Bathed in shades of red and gold, the backdrop features stage lights, sparkling details and a grand theatrical atmosphere.
Sharing the poster on social media, the makers wrote, "Aag bhi, dilon ki jaan bhi! (Both fire and the life of hearts) Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Love & War on 21st January 2027. See you at the movies!"
In his first look, Ranbir was shown in a distinctly vintage avatar, seated behind the wheel of a turquoise convertible. With slicked-back hair, a pencil moustache and round sunglasses, he carried an old-school charm.
The image also carried a darker detail, with Ranbir’s bruised and bloodied left arm resting outside the car, adding a gritty edge to the otherwise composed frame. His poster was set against a retro backdrop filled with vintage architecture and cars.
Sharing the first look, the makers wrote, "Woh rutba, woh raub, woh junoon!" Another post was captioned, "Ishq bhi. Jung bhi. Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Love & War on 21st January 2027 (sic)." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Bhansali Productions (@bhansaliproductions)More about the film
