Punjab 95: Diljit Dosanjh’s Film Explores Brutality and Resilience

This film goes beyond a simple narrative. ‘Punjab 95’ is a stark exploration of human suffering and the abuse of power. The film, directed by Honey Trehan, steers clear of glorifying the events and instead focuses on the lasting impact of state-sanctioned violence on individuals and communities. The film’s strength lies in its casting and narrative, with Diljit Dosanjh portraying the human rights activist with profound empathy. Suvinder Vicky’s portrayal of a menacing police officer is equally compelling, driving home the film’s message about the dangers of unchecked authority. The film’s unvarnished look at the raw realities of the era, aided by strong technical execution, elevates the film.
