I posted my review earlier, and now people are watching this film and sharing their thoughts. Some of the stories are truly horrifying. I can't even imagine the pain those people must have endured—some wounds that can't be healed. Children going out to play and never returning. This movie has stayed in my mind, especially the character Jaswant Singh Khalra. Since I saw Honey Trhans' interview about 7-8 months ago, I've been waiting for this film to be released without cuts. When I finally watched it, I was left numb, just thinking about how we, the people, are mere puppets for the system. No matter how they force us to dance, we have no choice. They don’t care about human life or relationships, and I can’t even imagine that they did all this while wearing a pag, which is considered so sacred. I’m not from a Sikh community, but I understand the sacrifices Sikhs have made over time. I have immense respect for them, even for their langar. When I see stories like these, I feel sadness, not anger—just sadness. You go about your daily life, but somewhere inside, it gets stuck.
