    Well, the conclusion from Microsoft on above issue :
    "What we understand as 119 data points is actually 119 series (lines) with many more data points in total—around 115,000 rows. Our system can display up to 60 series, so selection is also limited to 60 series. In reality, there are about 3,500 data points in the chart based on the series that can be shown, which is close to the data point selection limits as mentioned in the documentation: Multi-select data elements, data points, and visuals - Power BI | Microsoft Learn ."

     

    Future scope: For such cases, either the limit of datapoints recognised by the tool needs to be expanded in future releases, or provide enable/disable option for lasso select.
