Diljit Dosanjh’s Punjab 95 to release globally without any cuts, skips India release
Entertainment Bollywood Diljit Dosanjh’s Punjab 95 is based on the true story of human rights activist Jaswant Singh Khalra, who was kidnapped and subsequently murdered in 1995.
Diljit Donsajh's highly-talked-about movie Punjab 95 is set to hit the theatre, but not in India. After a long delay, the makers decided to release the movie internationally, skipping the film release in India.
Based on the true story of human rights activist Jaswant Singh Khalra, the movie has been a subject of controversy for several months now. Several reports state that CBFC has asked to make around 120 cuts along with a title change. However, now the movie is set to be released globally, and that too without any cuts.

Due to the sensitive matter, the film has been facing several delays with the censor board reportedly suggesting several cuts in the movie.

Who was Jaswant Singh Khalra?
The movie is based on the true story of Jaswant Singh Khalra, a human rights activist, who was kidnapped and subsequently murdered in 1995.
During the insurgency period in Punjab, Khalra bravely fought against human rights abuses, when several armed campaigns took place by the militants of the Khalistan Movement.
