Now, after two week of film’s release, a PIL has been filed against in the Kolkata High Court. On August 23, the case will be heard in the court of Chief Justice Prakash Srivastava. The PIL demands that the film be completely banned in Bengal. At the same time, there has been a demand that, even if the ban is not implemented, a police officer be stationed outside each theatre because what is shown in LSC has the potential to disrupt Bengal’s peace and order. The PIL was filed by advocate Nazia Elahi Khan. According to her, the Army is not properly represented in the film.
