Actor-singer Diljit Dosanjh’s long-delayed film ‘Punjab ’95’ has finally become available for viewing in India with its premiere on streaming service ZEE5 under a new title ‘Satluj’, more than three years after it ran into censorship issues.

According to a PTI report from Mumbai, the streaming service yesterday announced that the movie, directed by Honey Trehan and based on the life of human rights activist Jaswant Singh Khalra, is now available on its platform.

In the movie, Dosanjh essays the role of Khalra, who investigated the cremation of thousands of unidentified bodies in Punjab during a 10-year period from 1984 to 1994, before disappearing in 1995.

The ensemble cast includes Kanwaljit Singh, Suvinder Vicky and Geetika Vidya Ohlyan and the film is positioned as a hard-hitting social drama exploring courage, accountability and the human cost of conflict.

The film is backed by RSVP and MacGuffin Pictures and is co-produced by Ronnie Screwvala, Trehan and Abhishek Chaubey.

According to a report in the entertainment news outlet Variety, the project had carried three names on its way to final release. (https://variety.com/2026/tv/news/diljit-dosanjh-satluj-punjab-95-uncut-zee5-global-1236801418/)

It was originally titled ‘Ghallughara’, a historic term for the massacres of Sikhs in 1746, 1762 and 1984. When RSVP applied for certification from India’s Central Board of Film Certification in late 2022, the six-month process ended with the film cleared for 21 cuts and a mandated title change to ‘Punjab ’95’, Variety stated.

RSVP, as per the Variety report, appealed that ruling in the Bombay High Court.

“We could not get the previous title of the film. The title is now ‘Satluj’, ” Trehan said in a statement to Variety, adding, “This is the complete film, without any cuts or compromises, in its original form as we always intended.”
