While some of the Goan creative intellectuals (residents and non-residents) argued and even labelled Goan protester as extremists elements for protesting , the official spokesperson for Sippy's have this to say. "We were made aware that some women's organisations had complained about a dialogue in our film's trailers, which they found offensive to women. As responsible filmmakers, we have changed the same to address their concerns."
This was not the only controversy surrounding Dum Maro Dum, Mr Shippy has unethically remixed the hugely popular song (from Hare Krishna Hare Ram, 1971) without the original artist permission by circumventing copyright laws. http://www.hindustantimes.com/Dum-Maaro-Dum-row-Objectionable-dialogue-removed/Article1-684150.aspx http://www.hindustantimes.com/Dev-Anand-slams-the-revamped-Dum-Maro-Dum/Article1-667083.aspx I wonder if the creative intellectuals be it, writers, painters, actors, etc live on a different planet hence deserve preferential laws to protect their work.
