PIL Filed In MP High Court Against Song 'Bhai Wakeel Hai' From Jolly LLB 3, Says It Ridicules Legal Profession

The Madhya Pradesh High Court is hearing a PIL against the teaser and song “Bhai Wakeel Hai” from Jolly LLB 3, alleging that it demeans the legal profession.

The petitioner, an advocate, argued that actors dancing in advocates’ attire with neck bands ridicules the dignity of lawyers.

The plea describes the lyrics as “objectionable, obscene and derogatory,” contending they harm public perception of the profession and offend youth sensibilities.

It relies on Section 5B of the Cinematograph Act, 1952, and Article 19(2) restrictions on free speech. The petition seeks a ban on the song’s release and will be heard on September 9.
