Harbhajan Singh Hails Diljit’s Satluj: 9.4 IMDB, 41K Reviews

Studio CarryOnHarry Entertainment Desk | 8 July 2026

Cricket icon Harbhajan Singh has added his powerful voice to the growing chorus of praise surrounding Diljit Dosanjh’s deeply moving film Satluj, calling it a cinematic achievement that left him profoundly shaken and reflective.

Taking to his verified social media handle, the former Indian spin bowling legend penned a heartfelt note after watching the biographical drama, which chronicles the extraordinary bravery of Punjab-based human rights activist Jaswant Singh Khalra. Harbhajan drew a striking comparison between the horrors of the historic Jallianwala Bagh massacre — carried out under colonial rule — and what he described as an arguably deeper wound: the alleged abuse of power by those very institutions entrusted to protect innocent citizens.

In his emotional post, Harbhajan Singh wrote about the haunting reality of state-sanctioned alleged disappearances and clandestine cremations that Khalra risked — and ultimately sacrificed — his life to expose. He stressed that Punjab’s grieving mothers and countless families continue to await truth and justice, decades later.

The cricketer-turned-commentator reserved special praise for director Honey Trehan and lead actor Diljit Dosanjh, applauding both for bringing this largely unsung chapter of Punjab’s history to global audiences with sensitivity and courage.

On the numbers front, Satluj is making waves on the ratings circuit, having secured an enviable 9.4 score on IMDB backed by over 41,000 viewer reviews — a benchmark that eclipses other widely celebrated recent releases including Dhurandhar and Main Vaapas Aaunga.

The film’s remarkable reception underscores a growing audience appetite for courageous, issue-driven storytelling that goes beyond mainstream entertainment. With endorsements pouring in from cultural icons across India, Satluj is firmly cementing its place as one of the most significant Punjabi-language cinematic offerings in recent memory.
