After the film was shown in Utrecht, the Utrecht faction of the political party Denk aan asked the college to ensure that no more "hate-mongering and provocative films" are shown in Utrecht cinemas in the future... LAB-1 shows Indian films almost every week and wanted to show the film despite all the fuss. "We do this because of the international character of our audience."

"Art and culture sometimes lead to controversial dilemmas. That is also part of culture and should be a reason for dialogue and discussion. Not for threats and intimidation.""
