Namely, scenes showing freedom fighters killing Hindus on a bus, and quarreling over minute arguments, have been condemned. The movie also shows some fighters as consuming alcohol.
Sikhs saw the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), or Indian Censor Board, ban Sadda Haq and Kaum De Heere, however Punjab 1984 faced no such challenges in Punjab. There were no requests by the CBFC to remove any scenes from the movie, while it had demanded that Kuljinder Sidhu remove a bulk of scenes before Sadda Haq was finally released in India.
Diljit Dosanjh had faced anger from people for advertising for Shiromani Akali Dal (B) in the recently contested Lok Sabha elections. It has been claimed by various web portals that perhaps Dosanjh produced this movie to undermine the Sikh Freedom movement. Dosanjh is also notorious for singing immodest songs.
An in-depth review of the movie is available here.
Diljit is a sell out. This film is embarrassing for Sikhs
Look at Singers what have given Sikhs 1- they induced Sikhs to cut their hairs 2 – They induced Sikhs to take drugs 3 – They induced Sikhs girls towards Sikhs who cut their hairs….How can you trust these people that they will take efforts to show the truth….they are here to make money this way or that way ..we should be cautious in future ..Sikhi never accepts consumption of alcohol and atrocities against helpless people….
