<p>Despite a box office clash with Kangana Ranaut's Bharat Bhagya Vidhata, Main Vaapas Aaunga performed well in theatres. All credit goes to the strong word-of-mouth around its story, performances, and music.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Set against the backdrop of the 1947 Partition, the film presents a dual-timeline love story that explores themes of love, longing as it traces the story of a couple, separated by Partition of India and Pakistan.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The theme of memory, trauma, and choices from the past continues to haunt the present. The movie features a stellar cast comprising Naseeruddin Shah, Diljit Dosanjh, Vedang Raina, Rajat Kapoor, and Sharvari.</p><h3>Main Vaapas Aaunga review: Imtiaz Ali crafts a hauntingly beautiful tale of partition trauma, love, and longing</h3><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Film critic Shomini Sen wrote,''The film is hauntingly beautiful. Written by Ali and Nayanika Mehtani, Main Vaapas Aaunga takes an interfaith love story to tell a story about belonging and about homecoming. It comes at a time when headlines all over are dominated by news of conflict and war. But the film, instead of pointing fingers at a community in particular, tries to look at the larger picture of loved lost, of passing on trauma through generations due to one tragic incident and blaming circumstances over the community.''</p>

Released on June 12, the movie has won the hearts of both audiences and critics. It made people relive the era of Partition in a way that was both love-worthy and heart-wrenching. Now, the movie is set to premiere on Netflix, so those who haven’t watched it in theatres can catch it this weekend.

<p><h2>Prakash Raj</h2><p>A few days back, veteran actor Prakash Raj also spent a day at the Jantar Mantar protest site, showing his solidarity to the protestors and supporting Cockroach Janta Party.</p><p> </p><h2>Huma Qureshi</h2><p>After Monday's action against the protesters, a growing number of celebrities have spoken out against the use of force. Actor Huma Qureshi said the visuals from the protest would stay with her "for a very long time". She said seeing peaceful protesters met with "such brute force and lathis" had left her with "a deep sense of sadness".</p><p> </p></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p><h2>Sonakshi Sinha</h2><p>Sinha had extended her support to activist Sonam Wangchuk last week. Since then Sonakshi has been actively sharing posts in support of the CJP protest. Sinha said protesters had continued to stand by their beliefs despite discomfort and challenges. She urged everyone participating in the planned Parliament march on July 20 to continue raising their voices peacefully.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Ishaan Khatter</h2><p>Khatter shared an image from the protest that read as, “Loyalty to the government is not patriotism. Loyalty to the constitution is.”</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

Ishaan Khatter's story

<p>Not just Bollywood, but several actors from south India, too have expressed concern over the violence that took place on Monday in what should have been a peaceful march. Malayalam actor Tovino Thomas took to Instagram and shared, "When the future generation of a nation speaks up, and their voices are met with repressive force, it is the future itself that is being stamped down. It is faith in democracy that is being drained away.<br><br>What did these students do wrong? Did they destroy property? Did they resort to violence? What exactly did they do to deserve this treatment?<br><br>To every person protesting for a just cause, peacefully, in any part of our country, I extend my wholehearted solidarity. The right to dissent is not a threat to democracy; in fact it is one of its foundations."</p>

<p>Parvathy Thiruvothu shared videos of police crackdown on students protesting, questioning the government's lack of apathy for dialogue.&nbsp;</p>

A growing number of celebrities from the film fraternity have been expressing support and solidarity to the CJP-led protest against the NEET paper leak controversy. From Shabana Azmi to Huma Qureshi to Diljit to Ishaan Khatter- many have spoken in support of students on social media. 

As the protest at New Delhi’s Jantar Mantar over the NEET exam paper leak rages on, many prominent film celebrities have spoken out in support of the movement led by Cockroach Janta Party and condemned the hard police crackdown on demonstrators in the capital on Monday, July 20. A day after violent confrontation on the streets of Delhi, several actors and singers have backed the students and called for dialogue. Here are some of the celebrities who have extended support to the CJP-led protest and condemned police violence. Diljit Dosanjh Punjabi actor and singer Diljit Dosanjh, who had earlier distanced himself from the protest, on Tuesday criticised the police action against students. "Whatever happened is sad. Students should not be treated like this," the singer posted on Instagram on Tuesday morning. Calling the "voice of the people" the "voice of God", Dosanjh urged authorities to "listen to the students' grievances". Pointing out that he was called "anti-national" for speaking out during the farmers' protest, the singer said he had to suffer a lot and "will again be called anti-national".

They are the heartbeat of our democracy and the true architects of our nation's future. Let us listen, support, and empower them. The energy, courage, and dreams of our young people will shape the India we aspire to build," the couple posted on X.

<p>Das called out several members of the film industry. He also slammed the action taken on the protest.</p>

<p>Taking to his Instagram, they wrote,''If you’re an Indian live artist. I hope you understand the sheer hypocrisy of not speaking up for young people, and then trying to sell them tickets later. The sheer luxury of being a silent viewer to what an Indian crowd cares about, and then expecting an Indian crowd to be loud and vocal and care about you. <i>Apna apna dekh lo, lekin mere liye pahunch jaana.</i> Doesn’t work. The concert economy in India is built on young people gathering in support. I get that ‘you’re not political’ which is subtext for ‘I’m really comfortable’. I always look at those statements and think, do you buddy. But today humbly, I’d submit to you that this issue isn’t political or partisan anymore. It’s just about the youth now. And you can support them by platforming what they care about. Beyond that, you do you.”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>Diljit Dosanjh’s citizenship has been discussed time and again. While nothing has been confirmed, reports claim that the Punjabi singer, who is hugely popular not only in his homeland but also in the US, is not an Indian citizen.

While Dosanjh has clearly said no to entering politics, his nationality is reportedly what stops him. According to The Indian Express, the Chamkila actor acquired US citizenship in 2022, and since then, he has been travelling on a US passport. &nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Sources also said that he has been travelling to India on an e-visa since September 2022. This also means that he doesn’t have an OCI Card, Overseas Citizen of India, which is like a permanent visa given by the Government of India to people of Indian origin who are citizens of another country. His last Indian passport was issued in Mumbai in 2018. Before that, his Indian passport was issued in Zambia.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Not only him, but his spouse, Sandeep Kaur, is also reportedly a US citizen.&nbsp;</p>

Diljit Dosanjh and his US citizenship have long been discussed, and now he has again caught the attention when he laughed off a green card question.

I never ask anyone for favours. If something is meant to happen, it happens. If it isn't, then it isn't." Is Diljit Dosanjh an Indian or US citizen? In May, when chatter about Dosanjh joining politics grew, his nationality became a point of discussion. While Dosanjh has clearly said no to entering politics, his nationality is reportedly what stops him. According to The Indian Express, the Chamkila actor acquired US citizenship in 2022, and since then, he has been travelling on a US passport. Sources also said that he has been travelling to India on an e-visa since September 2022. This also means that he doesn’t have an OCI Card, Overseas Citizen of India, which is like a permanent visa given by the Government of India to people of Indian origin who are citizens of another country. His last Indian passport was issued in Mumbai in 2018. Before that, his Indian passport was issued in Zambia. Not only him, but his spouse, Sandeep Kaur, is also reportedly a US citizen.

<p>Diljit Dosanjh and his US citizenship have long been discussed, and now he has again caught the attention when he laughed off a green card question.</p>

<p>After pulling the film from its platform, in a statement, they said, “The response to Satluj since its release has been truly overwhelming. We are deeply grateful to every viewer who chose to subscribe, watch and champion the film... At ZEE5, we stand firmly by Satluj and the creative vision behind it. We believe powerful storytelling can inspire, endure and leave a lasting impact."<br>&nbsp;</p><p>The movie had been in a fight with the CBFC for over three years now.</p>

Diljit Dosanjh’s Satluj is currently one of the most talked about movie on the internet after it was taken down from the streaming platform Zee5 in India. 

The Diljit Dosanjh-starrer Satluj was released on ZEE5 on July 3, and within two days, the movie was taken down. While it has now been removed, its brief release gave the streaming platform a major boost. Previously titled Punjab 95, Honey Trehan's film faced a delay of more than three years. When it was finally released in India, it was only available for two days. Satluj gives ZEE5 a major boost abroad, 374% surge in app download Starring Dosanjh in the lead, the movie is based on Sikh rights activist Jaswant Singh Khalra, a human rights activist who spoke out against the deaths of innocents during the insurgency period in Punjab in the 1980s and 90s. Since the movie was released and then taken down, there has been a lot of chatter around it. This has given a significant boost to the streaming platform ZEE5, not only in India but internationally as well. Although the movie is no longer available in India, it continues to attract audiences overseas, where viewers are downloading the ZEE5 app and purchasing subscriptions to watch it. The film has become the talk of social media. The movie is available in countries including the US, Canada, and Australia. While there is no update on when the movie will be released again in India, the streaming platform has witnessed a significant boost internationally. The platform has not released any official numbers, but a few sources told NDTV that monthly downloads of the application saw a rise of approximately 374% after the film’s release in the international market. “Although there was a clear increase in interest and traffic on ZEE5 after the release of Satluj, precise official figures showing how much app downloads increased are not publicly available,'' the source said. However, the platform has received an outstanding response. The source said,'' The platform has only stated that it received a tremendous response, but without official data, it is difficult to make any definitive comparison. However, I can say that, excluding India, monthly downloads of the app in overseas markets increased by approximately 374 per cent.” ZEE5 condemned Satluj piracy In India, ZEE5 condemned piracy after copies of the film were shared on social media following its takedown. Urging people not to watch or share pirated copies, the streaming platform said, “We are hopeful and doing everything we can. Please do not support piracy. We remain committed to exploring every possible avenue to bring Satluj back to you.” The platform shared a poster and wrote, “We are doing our bit to bring Satluj back. Please do yours; don’t support piracy.''

<p>&nbsp;</p><h2>Diljit Dosanjh asks fans to share the film</h2><p>On Sunday evening, ZEE5 had announced that the film was being taken down from India region. Hours later, the lead actor of Staluj, Diljit Dosanjh, went live on Instagram and urged everyone to share the downloaded version and watch the film. He said he was relieved that the film had finally reached viewers, even if it was available for only a short time. He added that he was happy many people had already watched and downloaded it.</p><p>Diljit said that once something is on the internet, it is almost impossible to remove it completely. He also said the film now belongs to the audience. “So now I feel a lot of relief that finally the film is with you. Now it is your film, now it cannot be stopped. This is the people's film now; you can’t stop it now. I feel those behind this are innocent or uneducated to think that once something comes online, it can just be deleted like that,” he added.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Also read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/diljit-dosanjh-s-satluj-temporarily-removed-from-zee5-ott-platform-issues-statement-1783266828512">Diljit Dosanjh's Satluj temporarily removed from Zee5; OTT platform issues statement</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The actor also urged those who had managed to download the film during its short release window to share it with others so that everyone can watch it.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>“Now you can share it among yourselves; it’s your film.

Please show it to your friends and everyone around you,” he said.</p><h2>Satluj was removed two days after release</h2><p>The film Satluj began streaming on ZEE5 India on July 3 and was taken down two days later. The film, which had been waiting for release for the last few years, had already faced censorship issues last year. The version that was released on OTT was the uncut one, approved by the family of Jaswant Singh Khalra, on whom the film is based.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>After pulling the film from its platform, ZEE5 shared a statement backing both the film and the people behind it. “The response to Satluj since its release has been truly overwhelming.

We believe powerful storytelling can inspire, endure and leave a lasting impact," the statement released on Sunday read.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The streaming platform also said that the film will remain unavailable in India for now. “In light of the current developments, Satluj will be unavailable in India until further notice. We remain committed to exploring every appropriate avenue through due process to bring the film back to our audiences at the earliest opportunity,” they concluded.</p><h2>About Satluj</h2><p>Directed by Honey Trehan, Satluj is based on the life of human rights activist Jaswant Singh Khalra. The film follows his fight to uncover the alleged disappearance of thousands of Sikh youths during Punjab's militancy period in the 1980s and 1990s. By examining records from cremation grounds across the state, Khalra brought to light evidence of alleged illegal cremations and fake encounters, drawing global attention to the issue.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>On September 6, 1995, Khalra was reportedly abducted from outside his home in Amritsar's Kabir Park. He never returned, nor was his body found. In 2005, several Punjab Police officers were convicted in the case by a Patiala court. The Punjab and Haryana High Court later upheld the convictions and increased their sentences to life imprisonment.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

Hours after ZEE5 pulled Honey Trehan's film Satluj from its streaming platform, the film's pirated version found its way to social media with many downloading the film. The platform has now condemned the move urging people to not encourage piracy.

But if you try to come inside and harass my fans, that will not be tolerated. If someone brings a banner or a flag, it usually means they want to show where they’ve come from and that they support me. But if you’re standing outside with the same banner abusing my fans, and then try to come inside and do the same thing, that will not be tolerated."</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>He further added, "This is not about any banner or flag — the real issue is your intention behind it. I told security that anyone trying to disrupt the program should be picked up and thrown out. I never said anything against any banner, so don’t spread fake narratives. I’ve been avoiding this issue since last year, but not anymore). Thank you. Love &amp; peace."</p>

<p><br>Imtiaz Ali's film opened with modest numbers at the box office. Set across two timelines, the film explores themes of memory, displacement, loss and enduring love. The cast features Diljit Dosanjh, Naseeruddin Shah, Sharvari and Vedang Raina.</p>

Main Vaapas Aaunga box office collection Day 1: Diljit Dosanjh, Imtiaz Ali film opens with THIS much

<p>No one depicts love and longing as beautifully as Imtiaz Ali does. His coming-of-age dramas like Rockstar, Cocktail, Jab We Met, and even Jab Harry Met Sejal have had these two as central themes in the plot. In Amar Singh Chamkeela, Ali’s most political film to date, love made the two lead characters brave even as they longed to belong. His latest, Main Vapas Aaunga, is based on a similar theme, but Ali goes a step forward and talks of man-made borders, refugee crisis world over and how no particular community should be held responsible for the trauma that came with the partition of India in 1947. Featuring a stellar cast comprising Naseeruddin Shah, Diljit Dosanjh, Vedang Raina, Rajat Kapoor, and Sharvari, Main Vaapas Aaunga speaks the language of love in a polarised world.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Main Vaapas Aaunga marks Dosanjh’s second collaboration with Imtiaz Ali, and while the actor is effortlessly charming as Nirvair Grewal, a man who has commitment phobia but is a sensitive man deeply connected to his grandfather, Main Vaapas Aaunga belongs to the veteran Naseeruddin Shah, who is stunning in the film as the ailing man yearning to go back to the land that he called his home, at the fag end of his life.</p><h2>What’s the story of Main Vapas Aaunga</h2><p>Shah plays 95-year-old Ishar Singh Grewal, who is desperate to go to Sargodha. His age and health have made him delirious and he has forgotten that now Sargodha, where he grew up, and Chandigarh, where he now lives with his family, are separated by international borders. As he slips in and out of consciousness and is restricted to a hospital bed, he keeps wanting to go to Sargodha to meet someone. He is incoherent, and only his UK-returned grandson, Dosanjh, can understand his language.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>What many deem as gibberish turns out to be a story from the past involving the family’s migration to India, facing rioters on the way, losing their loved ones and leaving behind home and love. The narrative flip-flops from past and present and depicts an inter-religion love story featuring Vedang Raina (as the young Ishar) and Sharvari, a spirited young Afsana or Jiya, who are well aware of the growing tensions between the two communities but keep wanting to be together. Their story is juxtaposed with Niravir’s on-and-off relationship with his girlfriend (Banita Sandhu), a stark contrast from other love stories.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As Nirvair makes his way home, he realises he is unknown to a lot of family secrets and his father (Rajat Kapoor) is not willing to tell the full story. Kapoor’s character is shown to have a lot of resentment towards his own father (Shah), who has been a completely different man post partition, a phase that is not only mentioned but never shown on screen.</p><h2>What works</h2><p>The film is hauntingly beautiful. Written by Ali and Nayanika Mehtani, Main Vaapas Aaunga takes an interfaith love story to tell a story about belonging and about homecoming. It comes at a time when headlines all over are dominated by news of conflict and war. &nbsp;But the film, instead of pointing fingers at a community in particular, tries to look at the larger picture of loved lost, of passing on trauma through generations due to one tragic incident and blaming circumstances over the community.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The film’s cast is superb. Actors like Sanjay Suri, Dolly Ahluwalia, Vinod Nagpal, Mashhoor Amrohi and Manish Chaudhary play important characters which have limited screen time. You almost cannot recognise half of them, because they are there on screen but never in focus untill the climax. Dosanjh has always been easy on the eyes and likeable with his effortless charm and acting skills. It is always a treat to watch him on screen and this one is no different.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As Niravair, Dosanjh plays a sensitive man who can never settle and only finds answers when he starts digging deep into his grandfather’s history. Young on-screen pair Vedang Raina and Sharvari deliver to their part well. Sharvari, with her character, lights up the screen with grace and the right amount of naivety that her character requires. Raina, on the other hand, truly comes on his own. He shares screen space with some veteran faces but never slips and holds his own as the shy, loyal lover who is foolish to believe he will come back to take his love with him and in later years is riddled by guilt when he is unable to.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The star of the film, however, is Naseeruddin Shah, who is stunning as the ageing, delirious old man desperate to go back to Sargodha one last time. Shah balances his performance, as a man often speaking gibberish, but never overdoes it, making his performance truly stand out.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>AR Rahman and Imtiaz Ali, along with Irshad Kamil, are known for creating splendid musicals in the past, and this one is no different.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h2>What does not work</h2><p>The film hints at subplots but never gets into the details, leaving them slightly unfinished. There is a portion where Dosnajh is shown to help build something that can help the farmers, giving a hat tip to the actor’s personal support to the farmers’ movement in the past, but there is only one scene that shows him working on a technology to support them, but it doesn't dig deeper.

Main Vaapas Aunga, Imtiaz Ali's latest film, tells a beautiful love story based in the troubled times of India's partition. Veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah delivers a masterclass in acting as an ageing man longing to go back to his motherland and meet the love of his life. 

No one depicts love and longing as beautifully as Imtiaz Ali does. His coming-of-age dramas like Rockstar, Cocktail, Jab We Met, and even Jab Harry Met Sejal have had these two as central themes in the plot. In Amar Singh Chamkeela, Ali’s most political film to date, love made the two lead characters brave even as they longed to belong. His latest, Main Vapas Aaunga, is based on a similar theme, but Ali goes a step forward and talks of man-made borders, refugee crisis world over and how no particular community should be held responsible for the trauma that came with the partition of India in 1947. Featuring a stellar cast comprising Naseeruddin Shah, Diljit Dosanjh, Vedang Raina, Rajat Kapoor, and Sharvari, Main Vaapas Aaunga speaks the language of love in a polarised world. Main Vaapas Aaunga marks Dosanjh’s second collaboration with Imtiaz Ali, and while the actor is effortlessly charming as Nirvair Grewal, a man who has commitment phobia but is a sensitive man deeply connected to his grandfather, Main Vaapas Aaunga belongs to the veteran Naseeruddin Shah, who is stunning in the film as the ailing man yearning to go back to the land that he called his home, at the fag end of his life. What’s the story of Main Vapas Aaunga Shah plays 95-year-old Ishar Singh Grewal, who is desperate to go to Sargodha. His age and health have made him delirious and he has forgotten that now Sargodha, where he grew up, and Chandigarh, where he now lives with his family, are separated by international borders. As he slips in and out of consciousness and is restricted to a hospital bed, he keeps wanting to go to Sargodha to meet someone. He is incoherent, and only his UK-returned grandson, Dosanjh, can understand his language. What many deem as gibberish turns out to be a story from the past involving the family’s migration to India, facing rioters on the way, losing their loved ones and leaving behind home and love. The narrative flip-flops from past and present and depicts an inter-religion love story featuring Vedang Raina (as the young Ishar) and Sharvari, a spirited young Afsana or Jiya, who are well aware of the growing tensions between the two communities but keep wanting to be together. Their story is juxtaposed with Niravir’s on-and-off relationship with his girlfriend (Banita Sandhu), a stark contrast from other love stories. As Nirvair makes his way home, he realises he is unknown to a lot of family secrets and his father (Rajat Kapoor) is not willing to tell the full story. Kapoor’s character is shown to have a lot of resentment towards his own father (Shah), who has been a completely different man post partition, a phase that is not only mentioned but never shown on screen. What works The film is hauntingly beautiful. Written by Ali and Nayanika Mehtani, Main Vaapas Aaunga takes an interfaith love story to tell a story about belonging and about homecoming. It comes at a time when headlines all over are dominated by news of conflict and war. But the film, instead of pointing fingers at a community in particular, tries to look at the larger picture of loved lost, of passing on trauma through generations due to one tragic incident and blaming circumstances over the community. The film’s cast is superb. Actors like Sanjay Suri, Dolly Ahluwalia, Vinod Nagpal, Mashhoor Amrohi and Manish Chaudhary play important characters which have limited screen time. You almost cannot recognise half of them, because they are there on screen but never in focus untill the climax. Dosanjh has always been easy on the eyes and likeable with his effortless charm and acting skills. It is always a treat to watch him on screen and this one is no different. As Niravair, Dosanjh plays a sensitive man who can never settle and only finds answers when he starts digging deep into his grandfather’s history. Young on-screen pair Vedang Raina and Sharvari deliver to their part well. Sharvari, with her character, lights up the screen with grace and the right amount of naivety that her character requires. Raina, on the other hand, truly comes on his own. He shares screen space with some veteran faces but never slips and holds his own as the shy, loyal lover who is foolish to believe he will come back to take his love with him and in later years is riddled by guilt when he is unable to. The star of the film, however, is Naseeruddin Shah, who is stunning as the ageing, delirious old man desperate to go back to Sargodha one last time. Shah balances his performance, as a man often speaking gibberish, but never overdoes it, making his performance truly stand out. AR Rahman and Imtiaz Ali, along with Irshad Kamil, are known for creating splendid musicals in the past, and this one is no different. What does not work The film hints at subplots but never gets into the details, leaving them slightly unfinished. There is a portion where Dosnajh is shown to help build something that can help the farmers, giving a hat tip to the actor’s personal support to the farmers’ movement in the past, but there is only one scene that shows him working on a technology to support them, but it doesn't dig deeper. I wish they had explored Rajat Kapoor and Shah’s strained relationship a bit more or given a conclusion to Dosanjh and Banita Sandhu’s relationship. The film is also uneven, and drags especially when Ali goes too much into detail to describe Shah’s outlandish descriptions. Final Verdict Main Vaapas Aaunga, despite its slightly uneven narrative, delivers and tugs at one’s heartstrings. It makes you wonder if the trauma of partition would ever go away because the generation which faced it buried it in their conscience and lived silently with trauma. And then later passed it on to the next generation. The hatred towards a certain community stems from the same incident. And thus, it is rather bold for Imtiaz Ali to talk of peace, healing and love on both sides of the border in a year like 2026 when the biggest hit has been based on anti-Pakistan views. Main Vaapas Aaunga makes you tear up and reflect. It makes you believe in forever love in the age of dating apps and quick swipes and makes you yearn to go home.

<p>Main Vaapas Aaunga, Imtiaz Ali's latest film, tells a beautiful love story based in the troubled times of India's partition. Veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah delivers a masterclass in acting as an ageing man longing to go back to his motherland and meet the love of his life.&nbsp;</p>
