Why is Diljit Dosanjh's Panjab 95 Postponing?
The film Panjab 95 featuring Diljit Dosanjh as Jaswant Singh Khalra, is postponing again. Originally set to release on 7th February, the film is no longer hitting the theaters on the same day. As per reports, the Central Board of Film Certification is not approving of Panjab 95's uncut version. According to Indiatimes CBFC has asked for a total of 120 Cuts in the film, which is way more than usual.
Previous Controversies Related to Panjab 95
Diljit Dosanjh's film has faced some of the extremes. Panjab 95 was set to showcase in one of the most popular film festivals, the Toronto International Film Festival in 2023. However, it was pulled out. Following this Diljit Dosanjh released the Panjab 95 teaser saying the movie will hit theaters internationally without any cuts. But, in the twist of turns, YouTube removed the trailer within a day, leaving fans puzzled about the situation. The film has been postponed previously as well but Diljit Dosanjh's active promotion on his Instagram seemed like a new start for Ronnie Screwwala's film. However, it is once again under scrutiny.
How Are Fans Reacting to the Latest Postponement?
Diljit Dosanjh's fans are absolutely disheartened seeing the announcement. However, some are supporting the musical magician by saying that they'll wait. On the other hand, some fans are suggesting different methods to release Panjab 95.
They said, 'I reallly hope it gets right platform and release soon, we will wait!' 'Netflix tay krdo release.' 'All this definitely means that this movie shows 100% truth about those events that the govt. doesn't want it to come to light & let be know the reality of that dark time... Hope it gets a right platform to realise without any cuts soon...' and 'he movie was finally going to be released at least somewhere but it’s okay Waheguru kirpa kare and the movie gets released.'
Will CBFC allow Panjab 95 uncut release, is the question now.
