The film recounts the 1995 investigation conducted by Khalra into more than 25,000 alleged secret cremations carried out by the Punjab Police during the state's insurgency following Operation Blue Star. The subject has generated intense public debate because of its focus on one of the most controversial periods in Punjab's history.
Reacting to the removal, Diljit Dosanjh said that the story had already reached audiences because copies of the film had been downloaded before its withdrawal. His remarks came as the controversy continued to escalate across social media and public forums.
Public reaction has remained sharply divided. Supporters of the film described the decision as a setback for freedom of expression, while critics accused the production of promoting a pro-Khalistani narrative. The controversy also triggered a surge in piracy, with unauthorized copies of the film spreading rapidly after its removal from the Indian platform.
The withdrawal of Satluj has intensified debate over artistic freedom, national security concerns, and the impact of politically sensitive content, making the film one of the most closely watched cultural controversies in recent days.
