As per this post, Honey Trehan’s Panjab ’95 will not be releasing in India for now. The film’s release was delayed for over two years after running into trouble with the Central Board of Film Certification. As per reports, the CBFC had suggested over 120 cuts in the film owing to its sensitive subject matter.

As seen in the trailer, Diljit essayed the role of activist Jaswant Singh Kalra. The film sheds light on Kalra’s relentless pursuit of justice during Punjab’s tumultuous militancy period and highlights his investigations into human rights violations and the disappearances of Sikhs.

Panjab ’95 is directed by Honey Trehan, shot by cinematographer KU Mohanan and edited by A Sreekar Prasad. Ronnie Screwvala, Honey Trehan and Abhishek Chaubey have jointly produced the film. Aside from Dosanjh, the film also stars Arjun Rampal and Suvinder Vicky.
