Satluj, starring Diljit Dosanjh and directed by Honey Trehan, finally released on ZEE5 on Friday, July 3, 2026, but in less than two days, the film was pulled down by the streaming platform. The film, which was previously known as Punjab 95 had been stuck with the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) for almost four years and could not secure a release. In the film, Diljit plays the role of Jaswant Singh Khalra, a human rights activist who questioned the Punjab government over extra-judicial killings of thousands of people at the height of militancy. Like those he championed, Khalra went missing in September 1995 and was apparently killed soon after. In the months before he went missing, Khalra addressed many local meetings and even travelled to Canada to convey the injustice that was being carried out by the government in Punjab. In April 1995, Khalra travelled to Canada where he put forth his findings and demanded answers from the authorities back in India. ALSO READ | Diljit Dosanjh Satluj row: Why CBFC held up …
