Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express 3d
3.5/5
Take a bow, Honey Trehan, and Team Satluj; this is a clear win for filmmakers who want to tell the story of an actual person, time and place, with unwavering conviction. Go to Full Review
Sreeju Sudhakaran Rediff.com 3d
4/5
For a story like Satluj, this conventional structure works. It creates the necessary emotional momentum while allowing its actors ample room to shine, even though the story naturally belongs to Diljit, who more than justifies that responsibility. Go to Full Review

4/5
Parts of Satluj might feel a tad overstretched but given the urgency of its theme and the trenchant quality of the unflinching storytelling, it is always a riveting film that is both sobering and disturbing. Go to Full Review
Devesh Sharma Filmfare 3d
4/5
Satluj is not conventional entertainment, nor does it aspire to be. It is a film that educates, disturbs and moves in equal measure. It honours the memory of a man who chose truth over safety and conscience over silence. Go to Full Review
Neeshita Nyayapati Hindustan Times 3d
4/5
More than just a sharp political film, Satluj is a reminder that a lamp can vanquish darkness, a relevant message for today's world. Go to Full Review

Ahmed R @RT93334132 1d Just the cruel truth and sadly, it feels like nothing has changed in these countries. I’m from Pakistan, and I believe the system is still the same on this side of Punjab too. They removed Jaswant Singh Khalra, and now they have removed this movie. It feels like another attempt to hide the truth. This film is highly recommended for everyone, especially anyone who has a connection with Punjab. It will feel even more meaningful and powerful to them. See more Andy D @RT33059424 1d Must see - dark yet true story of injustice faced by Sikhs/Punjabis and courage shown by unsung hero activist- Jaswant Singh Khalra, who stood as a True Sikh, to seek justice for those who were slaughtered and suppressed by the administration knowing well the repercussions and making the ultimate sacrifice. Diljit Dosanjh does justice to his role and delivers a great heartfelt performance that is not to be missed. #Sikhlifematters See more Jasroop K @RT36120116 1d It is true and painful story of people of Punjab, who have faced this genocide head on. To those who have banned this movie are afraid of truth being out in public, the government the punjab police, KPS Gill are some of the many responsible for illegal and extrajudicial killings of thousands of Punjab’s youth. This movie is a true representation of the pain and endurance of people of Punjab, upon whom these crimes of humanity were committed. Make sure to watch and rate the movie, spread awareness, don’t let this ban stop the truth from shining in light of justice. Hats off to the makers, producers, actors and all the individuals involved in producing this film and making efforts for it to reach audiences across the world. You guys were phenomenal. JASWANT SINGH KHALRA was a humanitarian who fought for those who didn’t have anyone to fight for them. Let us all remember his vision and support his legacy! See more Tony D @Tonydhillon 2d Must watch! Its true story See more Vishesh S @Vmanrocks 2d Based on true events, and it earns every ounce of that weight. Diljit Dosanjh is quietly devastating as Jaswant Singh Khalra, the activist who exposed Punjab Police’s mass disappearances and illegal cremations during the insurgency. No hero posturing — just stubborn decency that gets harder to watch the longer it holds. Geetika Vidya Ohlyan grounds the film as his wife Pammi. Suvinder Vicky’s SSP Sugga is terrifying without raising his voice. Kanwaljit Singh, echoing the real-life KPS Gill, plays it with chilling calm. Arjun Rampal is excellent as the CBI officer chasing the truth. And Jagjeet Sandhu, as constable Kuljit, quietly steals the ending — the witness who turns hostile out of fear, then breaks and testifies anyway. The custody scene, scored by a devastating song, will stay with you long after. Survived 4 years of censorship, 127 cuts, and got pulled from streaming within 48 hours. Watch it anywhere you can. A must-see. Don’t look away. See more Read all reviews
