Diljit Dosanjh's Satluj: Blocked OTT Film To Be Screened Across Gurudwaras in Five States

The biographical movie Satluj is based entirely on the life and dangerous investigations of legendary Punjabi human rights activist Jaswant Singh Khalra . In the early 1990s, Khalra uncovered evidence showing that local authorities had illegally cremated nearly 25,000 unidentified Sikh youths without ever informing their grieving families. Because of this heavy historical subject matter, the film faced a brutal four-year censorship battle. When it finally dropped uncut on ZEE5, the Central Government stepped in within two days and ordered its immediate removal under the Information Technology (IT) Rules, citing national security concerns and public order fears.
