Satluj Review
The Free Press Journal reviewer gave Satluj three stars and wrote, "Overall, Satluj is an important film with a conscience and enough craft to avoid becoming a sermon. It is sincere, unsettling, and necessary. By remembering the disappeared, it refuses the comfort of neat closure. That may not be easy viewing, but it is certainly worthwhile cinema."

Talking about the movie, Diljit said in a statement, “Bhai Jaswant Singh Khalra ji’s martyrdom and his contribution to humanity were the primary reasons I chose to be a part of this film. When I first heard the script, it moved me deeply, as it is rooted in the lived experiences, struggles, and sacrifices of real people. As an artist, opportunities to be part of such meaningful stories are rare. From the moment I heard the script, I felt a strong sense of responsibility towards the film and was committed to portraying such an inspiring character with truth, honesty, and utmost respect.”
