Satluj
Satluj, starring Diljit Dosanjh, is a biographical drama inspired by the life of human rights activist Jaswant Singh Khalra.
Directed by Honey Trehan, the film follows Khalra’s courageous investigation into the alleged illegal cremation of thousands of unidentified bodies during Punjab’s militancy era in the 1980s and 1990s.
As he uncovers evidence and seeks justice for families of the disappeared, his work places him in grave danger, ultimately leading to his own abduction and killing.
Based on true events, Satluj is a powerful story of courage, truth and the fight for human rights.
