Despite being pulled from the streaming platform within just 48 hours of its release, ‘Satluj’ is still reaching viewers through unconventional channels. Suvinder Vicky, who portrays SSP Surjit Singh Sugga, the film's antagonist, says communities across Punjab have taken to organising group screenings, approaching the film almost as an act of "seva." Even as the Honey Trehan-directed film continues to be embroiled in the controversy over its takedown, Suvinder notes that this groundswell of public support has turned out to be the project's greatest reward.
