Dum Maro Dum: Objectionable dialogue deleted from trailer

TNN | Apr 13, 2011, 01.20am IST
PANAJI: Bowing to increasing pressure, the producers of the film Dum Maro Dum have said that they have deleted an objectionable dialogue against Goan women from the movie trailers.

An official statement from the movie producers states, "The film has officially been certified by the censor board with a certificate A rating. We were made aware in the past few days that there were some women's organizations that had complained about one dialogue in our trailers which they found offensive. As responsible filmmakers we have changed the same to address their concerns."

It may be recalled that TOI in its April 5 edition first reported that the movie's trailor contained a dialogue, where actress Bipasha Basu says "Over here (in Goa), liquor is cheap, and the women are cheaper." This was followed by a public outcry, which saw journalist Savio Rodrigues file a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) seeking a ban or restraint on the release and exhibition of the controversial film. The respondents in the petition are the Union of India, the government of Goa, Ramesh Sippy Entertainment and Fox Star Studios.

On April 8, the Goa State Women's Commission (GSWC) lodged a police complaint against the defamation of Goan women by the movie.
