After awaiting release for a long time, Diljit Dosanjh’s Punjab ’95 has finally released on OTT. However, the Honey Trehan directorial has released with a new title – Satluj.
Inspired by the life of human rights activist Jaswant Singh, Satluj is an unflinching account of one man’s relentless pursuit of truth in the face of fear, power and silence. Set during a time marked by conflict and unrest, the film exposes the haunting reality of thousands of unexplained disappearances and the devastating human cost borne by families searching for justice. At its heart, Satluj is a powerful reminder that the greatest acts of courage are often those that challenge systems determined to bury the truth.
Besides Diljit Dosanjh, the film also stars Arjun Rampal, Kanwaljit Singh, Suvinder Vicky, and Geetika Vidya Ohlyan among others. Earlier titled Punjab ’95, the film was stuck with the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) for three years. The film has reportedly faced demands for extensive cuts and changes, preventing its domestic release for almost 36 months.
After it’s OTT release, Diljit Dosanjh said, “Bhai Jaswant Singh Khalra ji’s martyrdom and his contribution to humanity were the primary reasons I chose to be a part of this film. When I first heard the script, it moved me deeply, as it is rooted in the lived experiences, struggles, and sacrifices of real people. As an artist, opportunities to be part of such meaningful stories are rare. From the moment I heard the script, I felt a strong sense of responsibility towards the film and was committed to portraying such an inspiring character with truth, honesty, and utmost respect. Our film, Satluj, is a story of conviction, courage, and humanity, and portraying this character has been one of the most meaningful experiences of my career. I’m grateful that audiences across the world can finally watch the film on Zee 5 and connect with a story that is both deeply personal and truly a must-watch for all.”
Director, Honey Trehan added, “From the very beginning, our intention was to tell this story with honesty, sensitivity, and without compromise. After a long wait, audiences will finally witness our labour of love and hard work. Satluj is not just the story of one individual; it is a tribute to the strength of human spirit in the face of adversity. Everyone associated with the film deeply believed in the importance of this narrative, as it draws inspiration from the life of the great martyr Jaswant Singh. I am delighted that it is now reaching audiences on Zee 5.”
Produced by RSVP and MacGuffin Pictures, and headlined by Diljit Dosanjh alongside Arjun Rampal, Kanwaljit Singh, Suvinder Vicky, and Geetika Vidya Ohlyan, the film is now streaming exclusively on Hindi Zee 5.
