Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s upcoming period drama Love & War has its first-look poster released, featuring Ranbir Kapoor in a vintage-themed avatar. The image shows Kapoor seated in a classic blue convertible, wearing a white T-shirt, dark sunglasses and a retro hairstyle with a moustache, while his right arm appears bloodied and injured.
The makers share the poster via social media, with co-stars Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal also posting it. Outlets describe the first look as striking and focused on Kapoor’s character while not revealing plot details. Love & War stars Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal, and is scheduled for a theatrical release on 21 January 2027. Times of India and The Hindu highlight the first look and its release date, while Free Press Journal adds more detail about the poster’s visual elements, public reactions, and distribution notes, including a multi-language release and IMAX mention, plus Netflix listed as a streaming partner.
Across coverage, the main differences are emphasis: some outlets focus on Kapoor’s “first look” framing and the film’s release timeline, while others foreground the poster’s graphic hint of violence and the online responses it draws.
