Sanjay Gupta Slams IMDb After Satluj's 9.5 Rating Disappears: “This Proves How Bogus They Are”

Sanjay Gupta said the vanished 9.5 IMDb rating shows the platform is unreliable as Satluj faces a prolonged certification dispute and a brief ZEE5 release.

  • On Wednesday, Filmmaker Sanjay Gupta criticized IMDb after the 9.5 rating for Satluj vanished from the platform, shortly after the film was removed from streaming service ZEE5.
  • ZEE5 pulled the film from India on July 5, citing "current developments," following a prolonged battle with the CBFC, which demanded over 120 cuts in the project.
  • Writer Niren Bhatt expressed confusion over the missing rating, stating, "Film kab aane wali thi, kab chali gayi humein pata nahi chala. Ab yeh IMDb rating ka& kisko problem tha, kya problem tha, koi communication hi nahi tha."
  • Actor Kanwaljit Singh questioned the removal, saying, "No one retaliates after so long," while ZEE5 stated it is pursuing legal avenues to restore the film.
  • Directed by Honey Trehan and starring Diljit Dosanjh, the project is based on the life of human rights activist Jaswant Singh Khalra, who exposed the extra-judicial killing of about 25,000 people.
