KnowBuddys Take
Ranbir Kapoor walked in with a bruised hand, a vintage car and absolutely zero explanations.
Classic Bhansali strategy.
Give the audience one frame, add a little mystery, and let everyone start decoding the story.
The first look of Love & War doesn’t reveal much, but it does one thing perfectly, it creates curiosity.
Ranbir. Bhansali. Alia. Vicky.
And a war backdrop.
The countdown to January 2027 officially begins.
