Rohan Sippy's film 'Dum Maaro Dum' is being hit by controversies. This time Goa State Women's Commission (GSWC) has protested taking cognizance of the alleged derogatory references to Goan women in the forthcoming movie. GSWC Chairman Ezilda Sapeco filed a complaint with the local police urging them to inquire into the complaint. She has said that the movie might result in breach of peace in the state. Sippy's flick, which depicts the drug underbelly of the tourist state, has raised a stink in Goa with lawmakers, social activists, women welfare groups and now GSWC expressing their reservation on the movie. However, director Rohan Sippy is unperturbed and says he has not done anything wrong and has made the film responsibly. After watching it, the people's misunderstanding will be removed, he adds.
The Panaji bench of the Bombay High Court has issued notices to the director and producers of the film over a petition seeking a ban on the film scheduled to be released April 22. Rodrigues alleged that the film featuring Abhishek Bachchan and Deepika Padukone portrayed Goa and its women in bad light. He said the film would have an adverse impact on the state`s tourism industry. Meanwhile, Goa Tourism Minister Nilkanth Halarnkar has said that he would be taking up the issue with its director.
