It's really sad that Satluj had to be removed from ZEE 5 so soon, even after getting so much love and so many positive reviews.

This movie already had a very difficult journey. It was delayed for years because of censorship issues, its title was changed from Punjab '95 to Satluj, and it finally released on ZEE 5 in its original uncut version after a long wait.

Many people had just started watching it, and now it's gone.

Still, credit to everyone who worked hard to bring this film to the audience. It was a brave attempt to tell an important story, and I hope Satluj returns so more people can watch it.

After years of delays, censorship issues, and endless waiting, Satluj finally found its way to ZEE5. It felt like justice had finally been done for the film and everyone who had waited so long to watch it.

And now, if the reports are true, it's getting removed in sometime today!

It's genuinely sad. A film that struggled for years to reach audiences deserved a proper run, not a blink-and-you'll-miss-it release. Many people probably haven't even had the chance to watch it yet.

Whatever your views on the film or its subject, this isn't how a movie with such a long and difficult journey should be treated.

Did anyone else manage to watch it before it disappears?

this movie could have been so good I love the restaurant scene sita was expecting a cake from the one she calls Baba instead he just tells her to kill a bunch of men and her expression omg was so sad I cried a little bit

and the close up shots were so unnecessary I do like the fight scenes they were good

and sita&durga's mother is a scientist but doesn't. know that there are many ways to have children without carrying them in your womb Surrogacy adoption ivf the test tube baby this movie could have been so good cause the actors have proved that they can act every single one this is so definitely a 4

cause I have watched other movies and shows that are 10/10 like obsession don't click Clairebell love you teacher like all of them were made in 2026 and they are wonderful everything made me cry like a baby

I wish it was a wonderful movie

next time 🛑 stop focusing on there body's only who does that

The Vidya Balan-starrer was a historic commercial hit because its bold theme heavily penetrated tier-2 and tier-3 markets. Here is a breakdown of the metrics:

• Budget: ₹28.00 Cr (including marketing and prints)
• India Net Collection: ₹79.75 Cr
• India Gross Collection: ₹107.66 Cr
• Overseas Collection: ₹8.89 Cr
• Worldwide Gross Collection: ₹116.55 Cr
• Verdict: Blockbuster

In mass-market B and C centres (smaller towns and single-screen cinemas), the film enjoyed record-breaking footfall. Historically, adult-rated or bold content in India struggles outside of major metropolitan cities, but the rural and semi-urban audience heavily consumed its mass entertainers and catchy music.

I genuinely didn't expect this film to ever see the light of day after years of reports about the CBFC asking for 120+ cuts. Seeing it quietly drop on a Friday without much promotion was a bold move.

The film follows the journey of human rights activist Jaswant Singh Khalra and also features Arjun Rampal, Suvinder Vicky, Geetanjali Kulkarni, and Jagjeet Sandhu in important roles. It's powerful, emotional, and easily one of Diljit Dosanjh's best performances.

From whatever I have watched, it doesn't feel like the heavily altered version many feared, which makes the release even more surprising.

Has anyone else watching Satluj yet? What do you think?

Malayalam superstar Dulquer Salmaan has made headlines after being questioned by customs officials in connection with an ongoing investigation into luxury vehicle smuggling. The actor appeared before the Customs Preventive Department as part of a broader probe into the alleged illegal importation of high-end vehicles into India through the Bhutan border. The investigation is still underway, and no charges have been announced against Salmaan at this time.

Reports indicate that Salmaan was questioned for several hours by customs officials, who sought details regarding multiple luxury vehicles linked to him. Officials have also requested the actor to submit additional documents related to the vehicles under scrutiny. It is suggested that he may be summoned again as the investigation progresses. This probe is part of a nationwide crackdown known as Operation Namkhor, launched by the Customs Preventive Commissionerate, which is investigating an alleged network involved in smuggling luxury SUVs from Bhutan and evading customs duties and taxes through forged or irregular documentation.

Line producer Sumit Tyagi alleged that Shahid refused to step out of his vanity van during the Delhi schedule because of the city's hazardous AQI. Despite the shoot being entirely outdoors, the production reportedly rushed to arrange 5–6 air purifiers.

Tyagi claimed the air purifiers were practically useless in an open location and were brought in merely to satisfy the actor's demand.

He also described Shahid as "temperamental," saying shahid is kind of Person who will say " I want to do this now, so I will do this. Now I want to leave so I will leave". Even if it has been decided that he has to stay. He further added, he is the kind of person who believes, ‘I won’t think much about you, and you don’t think much about me. Even if you are thinking, I won’t think about you’."

These claims were made by the line producer on a podcast and have not been publicly addressed by Shahid Kapoor.

I recently came across a screenshot on another subreddit claiming that Taran Adarsh charges ₹50K for a review post. And it made me curious enough to go through his past reviews.

Some of his ratings genuinely left me scratching my head.

The Vaccine War – 4/5

Badass Ravi Kumar – 3.5/5

Peddi – 3.5/5, calling it "powerful."

Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai – 3.5/5

Meanwhile, there are plenty of films that many audiences enjoyed but he rated much lower. That kind of inconsistency makes it difficult for me to rely on his reviews anymore.

I also noticed he barely posted about Main Wapis Aayunga, which I personally felt deserved more attention. It made me wonder how critics decide which films to cover extensively and which ones to barely mention.

I'm not saying the ₹50K screenshot is real—I haven't verified it. But when I keep seeing ratings that feel completely disconnected from my own experience and what many moviegoers seem to think, I naturally start questioning how much weight I should give these reviews.

Am I the only one who feels it's becoming harder to trust film critics these days, or do you still rely on them before watching a movie?

Who is your fav and why ?
