Punjab leaders criticise removal of Satluj from ZEE5

The film has faced several hurdles over the years. It was scheduled to premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2023 but was dropped from the line-up. The makers had also claimed that the CBFC sought 127 cuts, delaying its release for several years. Originally planned for a global release as Punjab 95, the film was eventually released in India under the title Satluj before being taken down days later.
