Human rights activist Jaswant Singh Khalra's wife, Paramjit Kaur Khalra, approved of 'Satluj', based on Jaswant's life, which released on OTT. "This is the same original version that was first screened for our family," Paramjit wrote, adding, "Despite...repeated attempts to make changes, the film's original spirit and truth have been preserved." The film faced 3-year delay over CBFC certification.
