After 'Satluj' Controversy, India Eyes Mandatory Film Certification for OTT Content

India's central government is now seriously considering making film certification mandatory for content released directly on Over-the-Top (OTT) platforms. This comes after the recent and swift removal of Diljit Dosanjh-starrer 'Satluj' from the Zee5 platform, which has sparked a major political uproar across Punjab and ignited debates on censorship and freedom of expression. The move signals a potential amendment to the Information Technology Act, extending the same certification requirements as traditional theatrical releases to the burgeoning digital streaming space.
