Diljit Dosanjh: Satluj, starring Diljit Dosanjh, has been removed from ZEE5 just two days after its release, and the film is now being screened for a new audience through community screenings.
Why Is Satluj Screened in Gurudwaras?
The decision was taken after the movie was pulled down from ZEE5 just two days after its release. Sikh groups think that a very significant story should be available for their community members, regardless of whether the movie is on a streaming platform or not. They said that the screenings would ensure that everyone gets to know about the life of human rights activist Jaswant Singh Khalra.
