Zeenat Aman on Alia Bhatt’s Love & War Look: ‘SLB Has Unleashed a Showgirl’
Ranbir’s posters came first.
Alia’s came the next day and did the louder job.
Two frames from Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Love & War. Feathered headdress. Crop. Skirt with a thigh-high slit. Boots. She is on a stage, not in a drawing room. The film is a period piece. The look is cabaret. The internet did not need a press note to decide what it was looking at.
Then Zeenat Aman opened the comments.
What Zeenat Wrote
Well, well… SLB has unleashed a showgirl.
She put one of the posters on her own story: The 70s are back and cabaret never looked this good.
That is not a courtesy like. That is the woman who owned this register in Hindi cinema telling the new one the costume landed.
Alia answered fast. Thank you, Zeenat Ma’am. We have spoken about you countless times on set, so this feels extra special.
So the reference was not an accident. The set had already been using Zeenat as the compass. The veteran just made it public.
Why the Look Is Doing Numbers
Bhansali does jewellery and silence. This time he sent Alia out as a dancer who takes the floor.
The slit is the sentence. The feathers are the lighting. The crop is the dare. People who spent two years arguing about Alia’s “safe” choices now have a poster that does not look safe.
Love & War also has Ranbir and Vicky Kaushal. The triangle will get the think-pieces. The first thing the timeline kept was her leg line under the lights.
Release is now January 21, 2027. The look did not wait.
The Question
If Zeenat is the blessing and the slit is the headline —
is this Alia doing cabaret, or Bhansali finally letting her look like she wants to be watched?
