Rahul Dholakia argued that when such fates happen to films, distributors and producers have to face the losses even as audiences watch them on whatever medium they are available in. The Raees director ended his note expressing his desire to watch Anurag Kashyap’s Kennedy and Honey Trehan’s Panjab ’95.
While Kennedy has had its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival, and it has been available on Letterboxd’s latest video store over the last few days, audiences from India cannot access it on the streamer. The Anurag Kashyap directorial continues to face a delay in its India release reportedly due to financial constraints with ZEE Studios, the changing priorities of the streaming market and so forth. On the other hand, Panjab ’95starring Diljit Dosanjh, has not yet hit theatres in India reportedly because of its makers’ reluctance to accept the exorbitant number of cuts suggested by the Censor Board, among other factors. The Diljit Dosanjh starrer is inspired by Jaswant Singh Khalra, a human rights activist from Punjab.
