About the Film
Directed and written by Honey Trehan, the social drama is inspired by the real-life sacrifices of human rights activist Jaswant Singh Khalra.
Khalra investigated thousands of unexplained disappearances during a period of intense militancy and political violence in Punjab.
The film, previously titled 'Punjab 95,' was produced by RSVP and MacGuffin Pictures.
It features a supporting cast that includes Arjun Rampal, Kanwaljit Singh, Suvinder Vicky, and Geetika Vidya Ohlyan.
Director's Insights
Director Honey Trehan shared insights regarding the profound emotional impact the film had on Jaswant Singh's surviving family members after hosting a private screening for them.
"When Mrs. Paramjit Kaur watched the film, she told me everything was exactly as they had read in the script but said she would speak to me later," Trehan said.
"The following day, she called and told me that after watching the film, she hadn't been able to eat for more than 36 hours.
She said the day Jaswant Singh was abducted was the last time they had seen him, and everything that happened afterwards had only existed in their minds."
Trehan noted that adapting historical events carries an immense emotional weight, especially when depicting real experiences for the people directly connected to those traumatic memories.
