Amazing film.

No doubt Guruji will shower Bhai Kuljinder Singh Ji with many blessings for this mahan seva.

The state of institutions like the SGPC and the politics they are playing is sickening.

May Maharaj do kirpa on his beloved Khalsa

We need more films like this. The more the merrier. This film has set off a trend we need to exploit. Today it is from a civilian/militant perspective. Tomorrow it can be from a conscientious cop perspective. The next day from a victim's perspective. We can also expand our domains to other eras of Sikh history and depict those rather than relying on "oh my Sikhs are Hindus. Hindus did this for Sikhs bla bla bla. Shoot me in the foot if you say otherwise." This might be controversial but if anyone deserves an award from Akal Takhat for seva of the panth than Kuljinder Singh Sidhu is the man.

If people can inbox me their opinions of the film it would be great. I am doing a post on my blog about the ban and I can quote you.

Interview with family of Shaheed Bhai Arvinderjit Singh Goldy, very moving. How dare Makkar insult this family on behalf of Badal and their Delhi masters.

ntire Sikh Quam is Supporting Sadda haq, But Not Our Political or Panthic Leaders.

Kuljinder Sidhu, Producer of Sadda Haq Demands Resignation of SGPC Head Makkar

“If the president of Supreme Religious Body of Sikhs behaves in such a manner, it does not reflect positively on the community. Either his decision to support the film was wrong or he is doing wrong now by defending the ban on the film. It shows that he is not capable of taking right decisions at the right time. I doubt whether such a person deserves to hold such a high post as a representative of the entire community”, he said.

When the bullets stop the bandars come out and sing "apna Punjab." However when that same Punjab is subjugated to torture they hide in their holes.

The recent ban on "Sadda Haq" in India, and K.P.S Gill's subsequent death threats to the cast and crew, have exposed the totalitarian mindset of the Indian state. Now that finally someone has stepped forward to challenge the status quo and expose it's extensive hand in the Sikh militancy and the contemporary genocide of 1984 it hides behind the false pretenses of secularity and anti-communalism. "Sadda Haq" which has already set a new milestone for Punjabi cinema, in it's first running week, is not a typical-run-of-the-mill militancy film unlike Maan's "Hawayein." It adopts a hard-core militant perspective on the militancy and why they (the militants) did what they did and how subsequently the state maligned their images. Already the film has elicited a great outcry from many regions of the media. It's ban illustrates the death of liberalism and free speech in India. If the film however had depicted Sikhs as terrorists and/or clowns, it would reputedly have made a fortune and been extensively promoted nationwide. Now however that the Indian machinery is being criticised it has been labelled as being nothing short of a war-mongering and heavily one-sided missive, seeking to vilify Indian democracy globally.

"Sadda Haq" however is not an unique case of India's firebrand political censorship. Films which followed the same trend of mentality, that is criticising Indian society, have followed suite in earning the nation's cynicism. "Amu", "The Bandit Queen" and "Kuttrapathirikai" are only few of the films which have fallen prey to the Indian censoring utility. In the name of the common good, and preserving the peace, it seems, that the Indian state can renegade on it's oath of freedom of speech. Unsurprisingly, and possibly ironically, if the film had depicted the nationalist perspective on the militancy that is a terrorist movement funded by neighboring nations than it would have been declared an all-time blockbuster by now. But because it breaks away from the nationalist camp and derives its basis from a civilian and militant perspective it has now become the scapegoat for Punjab's secessionist troubles. And in a gesture, which proved to be unsurprising for many Sikhs worldwide, the SGPC, the central advocacy for the Sikh faith, has now withdrawn its support for the film on insistence of their political master; Parkash Singh Badal. Not only does the central government stand to lose its nose if the film is released in India, but so does the Punjab government. It is no hidden fact that the Sikh polity, the Akali Dal, played an extensively "Macchevilian" role in maligning the actions and images of firebrand activists like Sant Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale in order to hold on to their state granted privileges.

Kuljinder Sidhu, a central actor in the film and also an associate producer, is the man of the moment presently. He is one of the nerve cells behind the film and also one Punjabi cinema's leading patrons. He has reiterated countless times on the social media and otherwise that his film does not seek to indulge in ethnic differences. Instead it tends to focus on the past in order to better the future. His statement though has fallen on deaf ears it seems, especially with Hindu extremists calling for his death. Sidhu, now, is fighting openly with the state forces and his critics. After five long ears of back breaking labour his film, which was banned by the censor board in 2012 and than given permission to be released by it's tribunal, aims to weed out the state's disparity and inconsistencies orbiting the militancy. He aims to glorify the militants in the same vein as the Indian nation glorifies its militants, who aimed a bloody struggle against colonialism for independence. The film is not a homage to the politics of the time but the common individuals, who as per basic democratic conventions fought for their lives and the protection of others. Even now protests are underway nationwide as the demand for the film quickly grows. International audiences have awarded the film with the rare 5/5 stars already adding to its commercial appeal, especially in the aftermath of the anti-liberal ban. "Sadda Haq" is succeeding above expectations and its magnetic pull lies in the fact that it sets out to achieve what hitherto was thought impossible, to openly criticise and subjugate a corrupt government of a diverse nation.

It is already evident that in the long run the film will change and transform many opinions long held on the militancy. Sidhu, and his associates lived through the militancy and have reasonably brought their experiences onto the silver-screen. The film is not pure entertainment, but an education, a catalyst for an individual to stand up and question whether he is truly fed the truth by his leaders, or only fallacies? Nor does the film, as is being claimed by the Hindu extremist camp, nullify or cause tensions between Sikhs and Hindus. It only aims to create more awareness about the Sikh perspective on the militancy and why the nation's patriarchal guard renegaded on it. The financial situation of the film, worldwide, has gone from satisfactory to excellence. Although not a blockbuster in the Western sense it has already picked up financial accolades for it's houseful runs. This is in part due to the ban imposed upon it in India, due to it's extensive commercialization and above all its reliance on the truth. "Hawayein" ended on a sore note with the protagonist being murdered in spite of his pleas for unity. "Sadda Haq" features protagonists and antagonists who are alive even in the present day and the influence they exert over historical events, and modern day collisions between the state and faith. For now, however, the film is enjoying huge success and building an extensively weighty fan base. The ban imposed upon it has only added to its sheen and what remains to be seen is the Indian populace's reaction after watching it.

Kyrle once described a Hitler Rally he witnessed.

'The people seemed gradually to lose their individuality and become fused into a not very intelligent but immensely powerful monster, which was not quite sane and therefore capable of anything. Moreover, it was an elementary monster... with no judgement and few, but very violent, passions....[W]e heard for ten minutes about the growth of the Nazi party, and how from small beginnings it had now become an overpowering force. The monster became self-conscious of its size and intoxicated by the belief in its own omnipotence.'

During the militancy it was such a monster which wrecked havoc upon the Sikh nation. Now that finally the collar of truth has descended upon it, it fears for its safety. "Sadda Haq" has lived up to the expectations of the Sikh nation and it is now up to Sikhs themselves, to support the film especially in face of their own leadership betraying it!

Will be good if you guys can click on this link and type your opinion of the film in the comments section below.
