Film Banned in India Now Screening Globally | Canada News

A controversial film pulled from Indian streaming platforms just two days after release—citing security concerns—has instead ignited global Sikh community interest, sparking massive community screenings across Canada, including in Surrey this weekend. The film chronicles Jaswant Singh Khalra, a human rights activist abducted and murdered in 1995 after returning from Canada, where he spoke out against injustice; six Indian police officers were later convicted. Demand is soaring, with hundreds attending screenings in Brampton and Edmonton, and crowds expected in Surrey at Khalsa Schools and Gurdwara Nanaksar. Non-Sikh audiences are also flocking to learn about Khalra’s legacy, requesting subtitles and showing deep engagement with themes of justice and advocacy. The film’s resurgence, amplified by Punjabi artist Dosanjh’s popularity, proves that censorship can backfire—turning silence into curiosity and global attention.
