played at a nearby gurdwara after being pulled out of ZEE5. In Punjabi villages, Diljits Satluj is given a second chance at life.

Diljit Dosanjh's film Satluj has received a new life in Punjab, even after being removed from the OTT platform ZEE5 in India. The film was taken down just two days after its release, leading to disappointment among fans who were eager to watch it online. However, instead of allowing the film to disappear, people in Punjab have started organizing public screenings in villages, gurdwaras, school grounds, and community halls. These screenings are being arranged by local sports clubs, youth groups, and Sikh organizations, which are using projectors, LED screens, and sound systems so that everyone can watch the film together.Many people believe that Satluj tells an important chapter of Punjab's history and should be available for the public to watch. Because of this, the community has come together to ensure that the film reaches as many people as possible. In several villages, volunteers have donated money, equipment, and their time to organize these events. Families, young people, and elderly residents have gathered in large numbers to watch the movie, turning the screenings into community events. Some participants have even described these efforts as a form of "seva" (selfless service) because they feel they are helping preserve an important story.The Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC) has also announced that it will hold public screenings of the film in gurdwaras and organize educational seminars about the life of Jaswant Singh Khalra, whose story inspired the movie.

The committee believes that people should have the opportunity to learn about this part of history despite the film's removal from the streaming platform. Similar screenings are now being planned in several states, including Punjab, Delhi, Haryana, Rajasthan, and Jammu, showing the strong public support for the film.The controversy over Satluj has also sparked legal and public debate. A Public Interest Litigation (PIL) has been filed in the Punjab and Haryana High Court, asking for the film to be restored on ZEE5. The petition argues that removing the film without a clear public explanation raises concerns about freedom of expression and transparency. Meanwhile, Diljit Dosanjh has said that he was not surprised by the film's removal, as it had already faced several delays and challenges before its release. Despite these obstacles, the overwhelming support from local communities has given Satluj a second life, proving that audiences are determined to keep its story alive.
