Punjab 95 First Look: Diljit Dosanjh's highly anticipated movie, Punjab '95, which has been plagued by censorship issues since 2022, may finally see the light of day in February, if a recent hint by the Punjabi singer-actor is anything to go by. Diljit took to his social media accounts to share a powerful first look of his character from the film, which is based on the life of renowned human rights activist Jaswant Singh Khalra. 

The gripping poster has generated immense excitement among fans, who have been eagerly awaiting the film's release. Meanwhile, Diljit posted a story on his Facebook account that simply read, "Punjab '95. In February," leaving fans wondering if this is indeed a confirmation of the film's release date. As the news spreads like wildfire, fans are keeping their fingers crossed that Punjab '95 will finally hit the screens in February, bringing an end to the long wait.

Diljit Dosanjh shared the first look of his character from 'Punjab 95' on Instagram, posting three pictures. The first two show him in a rugged avatar, with a bloodied and bruised face, wearing a simple kurta pajama and turban. The third picture depicts him as Jaswant Singh Khalra, posing with two children.

The biographical drama, Punjab '95, which tells the story of the life of renowned human rights activist Jaswant Singh Khalra, has been mired in controversy since its submission to the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). The film's journey to clearance has been marked by a series of contentious developments, with the CBFC repeatedly proposing an unusually high number of cuts. In a shocking move, it was reported in September 2024 that the CBFC had suggested a whopping 120 cuts to the film, sparking widespread outrage and concern among the filmmaking community and fans alike.

This development came on the heels of an earlier report in July, which stated that the CBFC had initially proposed 85 cuts, a number that was already considered excessive by many. The repeated attempts to censor the film have raised questions about artistic freedom and the role of the CBFC in regulating content.
