Punjab 95: Uncensored Story Hits Screens

Diljit Dosanjh's highly anticipated film, Punjab 95, is set to make its international debut on February 7, 2025, offering an unfiltered look at Punjab's tumultuous past, particularly the intense political unrest of the mid-90s. The film, based on the true story of human rights activist Jaswant Singh Khalra, delves into the socio-political issues of the time, showcasing the struggles and resilience of individuals during conflict.

The movie, directed by Honey Trehan and produced by Ronnie Screwvala, boasts a strong cast, including Diljit Dosanjh, Arjun Rampal, and Suvinder Vicky. It chronicles Khalra's courageous fight for justice, exposing over 25,000 cases of illegal killings, disappearances, and secret cremations by the Punjab Police. The film's narrative is expected to attract a significant global audience, especially in countries with a strong Punjabi diaspora, due to its raw and unfiltered portrayal of a pivotal moment in history.

Notably, the film's release was delayed due to issues with the Central Board of Film Certification, which allegedly suggested 120 cuts due to the film's sensitive subject matter. However, with the approval of Khalra's family, the film will now be released in its entirety, with Diljit Dosanjh emphasizing the importance of sharing this story without censorship. The teaser for the film, unveiled with the tagline "Full movie, no cuts," has generated considerable interest and anticipation among audiences worldwide.

As Punjab 95 prepares to hit screens globally, it promises to not only shed light on a critical period in Punjab's history but also honor the legacy of Jaswant Singh Khalra and his tireless efforts to bring justice and accountability. The film's international release without cuts is a testament to the power of storytelling and the importance of preserving historical truth, unaltered and unfiltered.
