Diljit Dosanjh's 'Satluj' being screened in Punjab's gurdwaras after removal from streaming

Highlights

  • Community screenings of Satluj are being organised across Punjab after the film was removed from ZEE5 within two days of its release.
  • Villagers, sports clubs, gurdwara committees and NRIs are funding LED screens, sound systems and refreshments.
  • Families are gathering in gurdwaras, village squares and community spaces to watch the Diljit Dosanjh-starrer together.

Rather than disappearing after its brief release on ZEE5, Satluj has found an unexpected audience across Punjab, where villages are organising community screenings of the Diljit Dosanjh-starrer weeks after it was taken off the streaming platform.

From Moga and Ludhiana to Barnala, Sangrur and Amritsar, residents are gathering in gurdwara complexes, village community spaces and market areas to watch the film, which is based on the life of human rights activist Jaswant Singh Khalra. The screenings follow the film's removal from ZEE5 just two days after it became available online, ending a four-year wait for its release.
