The movie was proposed to be named as Ghalughara initially, which means massacre, but after the objection of the Censor Board the movie title was renamed to Punjab 95 with 120 scene cuts. After intervention of SGPC, the movie has been decided to be released uncut, but with its new title Panjab '95 instead of Ghalughara.[4][5] The trailer was removed from YouTube in India, a day after its release.
