Looks worthwhile watching and promoting. Are the character's fictional?

Characters are based on real life people. The characters featured in the film are based on:

Bhai Jagtar Singh Hawara.

Bhai Jagtar Singh Tara.

Shaheed Bhai Jaswant Singh Ji Khalara.

Bhai Balwant Singh Ji Rajoana.

Shaheed Bhai Dilawer Singh Ji.

Bhai Paramjit Singh Bheora.

K.P.S Gill.

Beant Singh (not sure about this one).

etc.

Who's distributing the film in then UK? Not seen any local publicity yet.

If u go on their facebook page u will see they are looking for distributors overseas.

this movie is still not approved by censor according to saadaa haq facebook page.

its a brave effort to make movies like this though.

What happened to that documentary "Martyrs" did India release it? I know a few Islamic extremists, especially that website run by dear Abu Adeeba had a big spaz about it but that did not stop it from being presented to Sikhs overseas.

Ban on 'Sadda Haq' lifted, to be released on Apr 5

Hindustan Times
Chandigarh, January 31, 2013

Sadda Haq', a much-awaited Punjabi film dealing with the days of terrorism in Punjab, will witness a worldwide release in theatres on April 5 as the censor board has lifted its ban on the movie.
The Film Certification Appellate Tribunal (FCAT) of the censor board gave the green

signal to the film after four-month-long deliberations with the film production team and legal luminaries, the film's producer-cum-writer Kuljinder Singh Sidhu said at a press conference here on Thursday.

"FCAT chairman Lalit Basin, in the presence of various members of the review committee, notified the censor board through a written notice that the film is based on facts and gives a good social message, so there is nothing objectionable in it," said Sidhu.

The Mumbai censor board had imposed a ban on the film, which was submitted to the board for its release on October 20, 2012. The ban was imposed without any particular reason being cited, Sidhu said.

On November 14, 2012, the film producer appealed to the review committee of the board, but the panel also banned the film, mentioning in its report that it presented a wrong picture of the police and the government of that time.

Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) president Avtar Singh Makkar had also taken up the matter with the board after watching the film, Sidhu said.

"We have finally got the certification after minor changes dealing with the role of the police during that period," he said.

The murder of human rights activist Jaswant Singh Khalra, the mass cremations of unclaimed bodies for which the National Human Rights Commission directed financial compensation for the bereaved families shady encounters and the cases in which certain cops were even convicted by courts are dealt with in the film.

"'Sadda Haq' endeavours to narrate the disruptive and excruciating history of Punjab to the public so that they get to know what actually happened in Punjab," he said.

Many other political Sikh organisations, religious congregations and cultural organisations had also appealed to lift the ban on the film's release, he added.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
