The film premiered on Netflix on April 12, 2024 and traced Chamkila's extraordinary journey. Known for lyrics that spoke unabashedly about love, rebellion, and social realities, Chamkila's meteoric rise was cut short when he and his wife, Amarjot, were assassinated in 1988 at the young age of 27.
Parineeti Chopra played Dosanjh's wife Aamrjot in the film.
