The film is directed by Honey Trehan and produced by Ronnie Screwvala
Punjab 95, a much-awaited film featuring the multi-talented actor-singer Diljit Dosanjh, is ready for its global release. The movie is based on the real-life story of Jaswant Singh Khalra, a human rights activist who fearlessly exposed severe human rights violations in Punjab during a turbulent period. The film is directed by Honey Trehan and produced by Ronnie Screwvala's RSVP Movies. It is expected to be a hard-hitting narrative of bravery, justice, and resilience.
Storyline
The teaser begins with the powerful dialogue by Arjun Rampal, relating to the tumultuous history of Punjab and the river disputes, Operation Bluestar, assassination of Indira Gandhi, 1984 riots, and political disturbances. Against this dark background, hope comes alive in the character of Diljit Dosanjh, Jaswant Singh Khalra, as he fights for the disappeared people. Khalra goes through the process of investigation related to the mysterious disappearance of Sukhdev Singh and unravels a series of injustices in the story. Dosanjh is seen taking a risk with his life, tracking leads, and piecing together a harrowing truth while threatened by powerful forces.

Positive Points
The strongest point in this film is its powerful narrative, unveiling the courage of a man against oppression. It has the depth and emotions of Khalra's fight for justice, thanks to Diljit Dosanjh's heartbreaking performance. This is well reflected in the teaser with the sequences and dialogues, especially the monologue by Arjun Rampal, that evoke the emotional scenes across the masses. The direction by Honey Trehan ensures that this is a sensitive yet bold portrayal of this significant chapter in Punjab's history.
On the downside, there is the theme that the film's intensity can be too heavy for some to bear, with themes on politics and history that appeal to fewer and might not seek the same. Besides, some complex issues tend to get oversimplified in such narrations, creating polarisation.
