Diljit Dosanjh has finally confirmed the release date for his highly anticipated film Punjab 95. After months of suspense, the actor-singer took to social media on January 11, 2025, to share a major update with his fans, announcing that the film will hit screens in February 2025.
Release Update
The big reveal came in the form of a poignant still from the film, shared by Diljit on X (formerly Twitter). In the image, his character is seen with his children, sparking excitement among fans. Along with the still, Diljit simply posted the filmโs title and confirmed the release month. However, questions regarding whether Punjab 95 will be available in cinemas or on an OTT platform remain unanswered.
The announcement was met with overwhelming enthusiasm from fans, who flocked to the comments section to express their excitement and ask for more details about the release. One fan inquired, “Paji In theatres or OTT platform?” while another expressed their anticipation, writing, “This story is of a great person and first day first show for sure, love you Diljit Paji.”
Another fan reflected on the emotional weight of the story, saying, “After watching Punjab 1984, I can say only you could do justice to that character. Hopefully, it’s a good movie with good storytelling, narration, and depicting the real pain of 25,000 families. Will take my kids to watch this. We love you Paji.”
Directed by Honey Trehan, Punjab 95 is based on the life of Sikh activist Jaswant Singh Khalra, who disappeared in September 1995. Khalraโs story remains a painful chapter in the history of Punjab, and the film aims to shed light on his life and mysterious disappearance.
The film has faced significant delays, primarily due to challenges with the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). According to sources, the film was submitted to the censor board in December 2022. In a report by Mid-Day, it was revealed that the CBFC suggested over 120 cuts to the film, including a request for a title change, since the original title referred to the year of Khalraโs death. These delays have only added to the anticipation surrounding the filmโs release.
In addition to excitement over the release date, fans have also voiced their support for the filmโs portrayal of a real-life hero. Many expressed admiration for Diljitโs involvement in such an important project. โArey Waah… New movie. Congratulations!!!โ wrote one admirer, while others praised the filmโs potential to bring justice to Khalraโs story.
For many fans, Punjab 95 represents more than just a filmโitโs a chance to honor the memory of a man whose fight for justice is still felt today. The emotional connection to the subject matter has been evident in the outpouring of love and support for Diljitโs role in the film.
