Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt are currently immersed in filming Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s highly anticipated period drama, Love & War. The film, described as a love saga set against the backdrop of war, has kept its plot and character details under wraps, but recent on-set pictures have offered fans a glimpse of the retro aesthetics the film promises.
A Retro Look for a Period Romance:
Leaked photos captured Ranbir Kapoor in a classic vintage ensemble, donning a white shirt, blue trousers, a blue tie, slicked-back hair, and a moustache. According to reports, Ranbir portrays an Air Force pilot, a role that aligns with the film’s war-time narrative.
Alia Bhatt, on the other hand, was spotted with a 1960s-inspired puff hairdo, dressed in a chic white co-ord set that exudes timeless elegance. Fans on social media platforms compared the looks to other period dramas, with some drawing parallels to Ranbir’s *Bombay Velvet* days and likening Alia’s style to Jacqueline Kennedy’s iconic fashion
Fan Reactions:
Social media is abuzz with reactions:
“Bombay Velvet vibes!” remarked a Reddit user about Ranbir’s look.
Another wrote, “Alia looks classic, Jacqueline Kennedy coded.”
While many praised the actors for embracing the retro vibe, some were less impressed, particularly about Alia’s fit in the era. Comments like, “Alia looks like a misfit,” sparked debates among fans.
About Love & War:
The film also stars Vicky Kaushal in a pivotal role, adding further intrigue to the love-triangle premise. Although initially rumored to be a remake of the iconic Sangam (starring Raj Kapoor, Vyjayanthimala, and Rajendra Kumar), Bhansali has denied such claims. However, scenes filmed at an airbase in Jodhpur have drawn comparisons to the classic, in which the leads also played Air Force pilots.
Release and Expectations:
Love & War is scheduled for release on March 20, 2026, and fans are eager to see how Bhansali, known for his opulent storytelling and grand visuals, brings this ambitious love saga to life. With a talented ensemble cast and a unique premise, the film is already generating significant buzz.
