Panjab '95 is an upcoming 2025 Indian Hindi language period drama film directed by Honey Trehan. The film is produced by Ronnie Screwvala's RSVP Movies. It is based on the life of prominent Sikh human rights activist Jaswant Singh Khalra. ^[1] The film stars Diljit Dosanjh, Arjun Rampal and Suvinder Vicky. ^{[2] [3]}

The movie was proposed to be named as Ghalughara initially, which means massacre, but after the objection of the Censor Board the movie title was renamed to Punjab 95 with 120 scene cuts. After intervention of SGPC, the movie has been decided to be released uncut, but with its new title Panjab '95 instead of Ghalughara. ^{[4] [5]} The trailer was removed from YouTube in India, a day after its release.

In January 2025, an uncut international release was announced for February 7, 2025, in multiple countries, excluding India. However, the release was postponed once again for undisclosed reasons. Lead actor Diljit Dosanjh shared the news via his Instagram story, stating, "We are sorry, and it pains us to inform you that the movie Panjab '95 will not release on February 7 due to circumstances beyond our control." ^[6]
