‘Punjab 95’ Starring Diljit Dosanjh Set To Release In February 2025
The biopic ‘Punjab 95‘, which showcases the life of human rights activist Jaswant Singh Khalra, is finally set to release in February after a year-long delay caused by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). The film, starring Diljit Dosanjh, has faced issues in securing clearance due to objections from the CBFC, which proposed as many as 120 cuts to the film. However, following intervention from the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC), the film has now received clearance and is expected to be released in its original form, without any cuts.

About Jaswant Singh Khalra
The movie portrays the life of Jaswant Singh Khalra, a prominent activist who exposed the extrajudicial killings of Sikh youth by the Punjab Police during the state’s militant insurgency in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Khalra’s relentless pursuit of justice ultimately led to his abduction by the police in 1995, and he was later found murdered. The case gained national and international attention, and six Punjab Police officials were eventually convicted for their involvement in his kidnapping and murder.
