🔥 Trending Diljit Dosanjh's Film 'Satluj' Removed From Streaming: What You Need to Know

Satluj, starring Diljit Dosanjh, is a 2026 Indian biographical drama film directed by Honey Trehan ¹. The movie, which premiered on July 3, 2026, is based on the real-life story of human rights activist Jaswant Singh Khalra ²³. Khalra's work exposed the alleged abduction and killing of approximately 25,000 unidentified individuals during the Punjab insurgency in the 1990s, a period marked by police brutality and disappearances ²⁵⁸. The film portrays Khalra's journey as he battles systemic challenges and personal sacrifices while uncovering these grim realities ⁴.

Despite its release, Satluj faced significant controversy and was removed from the ZEE5 streaming platform in India just two days after its digital debut ⁸⁹. This removal followed years of delays, 127 cuts requested by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), and title changes (it was originally titled Punjab '95) ⁹. Authorities flagged the film as politically sensitive, expressing concerns that its raw portrayal of police brutality could be misused by "anti-India forces" ⁸¹⁰. Government pressure and IT Rules were cited as reasons for its sudden removal from the platform ¹⁰.
