Government to take legal action against unauthorised screenings of Satluj without CBFC certificate
The Centre is considering legal action against unauthorized screenings of Diljit Dosanjh's film 'Satluj' without a CBFC certificate.
The CBFC recommended 127 cuts for 'Satluj', but filmmakers allegedly did not implement them, and the film was not granted a certificate.
Despite lacking certification, 'Satluj' was released on Zee5 and screened publicly; state governments have been instructed to act against unauthorised screenings.
Advocate Vineet Jindal filed a letter petition in the Punjab and Haryana High Court seeking to prevent illegal streaming and public screenings of 'Satluj'.
'Satluj' was removed from Zee5 in India two days after release, prompting community organizations to plan screenings at gurdwaras across five states.
