Diljit Dosanjh’s much-awaited film Satluj has encountered another unexpected setback, disappearing from ZEE5 in India less than a day after its digital release. The sudden removal has surprised audiences, particularly those who had been waiting for the film after its prolonged journey to the screen.
Originally announced as Punjab ’95, the film is based on the life of human rights activist Jaswant Singh Khalra. Following a title change, it was finally released on ZEE5, bringing an end to months of anticipation. However, its availability proved to be short-lived, as Indian subscribers soon found that the title had been taken down from the platform.
The streaming service has not yet shared any official reason for the film’s removal. Likewise, the filmmakers and lead actor Diljit Dosanjh have not commented on the development, leaving viewers speculating about the circumstances behind the decision.
The latest turn of events adds another chapter to the film’s already eventful release journey. Having faced multiple hurdles before reaching audiences, Satluj once again finds itself at the centre of public attention, this time because of its abrupt disappearance from the OTT platform.
The removal has generated considerable discussion online, with fans expressing disappointment and seeking clarity on whether the film’s absence is temporary or permanent. Until an official statement is issued, the reasons behind the takedown remain unclear.
Industry observers are now closely watching for a response from ZEE5 or the film’s producers, as audiences hope the critically discussed title will return to streaming in India soon.
