History reviewed
Sadda Haq is a dream project for Kuljinder Sidhu, writer, actor and producer, as well as his team! Only it ran into a deadlock with the censor board.
A story that captures the other side of the separatist movement of Punjab during the 80s and 90s, Kuljinder wrote it in 2007. Realising the sensitivity of the subject, they did not make it then, but are ready for the challenge now.

For a healthy bloom
