After Shah Rukh Khan’s Raees got banned what could be seen as another setback in the renewed release of Indian films in Pakistan, another film has now been banned too.
Subhash Kapoor’s Jolly LLB 2 has been banned by the Examining Committee of the Pakistan Censor Board, reportedly because the film addresses the sensitive Kashmir issue.
According to sources “In the movie, Akshay Kumar plays a lawyer who treats his profession casually until he comes across the case of an innocent man who is killed and declared a Kashmiri militant, while the real Kashmiri militant goes into hiding in Uttar Pradesh. Bringing up the issue has not gone down well with the Pakistani censor board. They’ve banned the film, as they intend to ban all Indian films that bring up the Kashmir issue.”
However, the Pakistani distributors of the film have decided to appeal to the ‘Full Board’ which is the equivalent of the Indian censor board’s Revising Committee. Seems like there’s still hope that the movie will release in Pakistan.
