Indian authorities delay the release of “Satluj,” a film featuring Diljit Dosanjh, after extensive censor edits are requested, according to reporting. The filmmakers say the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) and other officials have demanded large changes to the movie, including 127 cuts. The film is described as exploring a dark period in Punjab that includes allegations of police brutality. The disputes over the film’s content and the certification process have stretched over years, with the production team arguing that the repeated blocking of release reflects entrenched censorship. Sources describe the controversy as part of a broader pattern in which films are required to be altered before they can be publicly screened, and in which content related to sensitive political or social issues faces scrutiny. The filmmakers continue to seek approval for the film, while the certification process remains unresolved, leaving the movie’s public release uncertain.
