Rohan Sippy’s Dum Maaro Dum is now facing another Legal action by Allahabad High Court. The Lucknow bench of Allahabad high court issued notices to Centre and Censor Board asking them to reply within three weeks on a PIL seeking ban on Abhishek Bachchan starrer Dum Maaro Dum.

A bench comprising Chief Justice FI Rebello and Justice Devendra Kumar Arora passed this order on a PIL filed by lawyers Rohit Tripathi and Tripuresh Tripathi.

The two requested the court to issue directives to the Producer and Director of the film Dum Maaro Dum to change the name of the film as it encourages drug abuse. They also want the title song to be suitably modified so that it falls under the “purview of morality and decency”.

The film, they claim was found to be inciting, an offence under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act.

Meanwhile, the Bombay high court bench in Panaji dismissed the petition filed against the release of the movie Dum Maro Dum that attracted flak for allegedly portraying Goa and its people in bad light.

Set in the backdrop of Goa and its drug underbelly, the film releases on April 22. Bipasha Basu in lead role, had evoked public protests in Goa over its negative portrayal of the tourist state. There was also controversy over the theme of the film. One particular promotional dialogue from the film “Liquor is cheap here and women are even cheaper here” caused quite a stir

Dum Maaro Dum is a movie with big star casts like Abhishek Bachchan, Rana Daggubati, Bipasha Basu, Prateik Babbar and Aditya Pancholi. Deepika Padukone will be grooving to the remix version of the hit song “Dum Maro Dum”.

No Matter good or bad, A Publicity is a Publicity.

‘Sorry y’all!’
She later tweeted, “Well the people helping me in the pix are my friend and sister, who I help often with the same! So am sorry if it hurt anyone’s sentiments!,” she tweeted.

Glad that Miss Basu realized her mistake and rectified it

Bipasha has two sisters who are grown-up, Bijoyeeta is married with a kid while Bidisha is studying abroad.
Bipasha Basu could face serious charges. The Indian Child Labour act says law breakers could face one month to 12 months in jail . According to Article 24 of the Indian constitution, “No child below the age of 14
years shall be employed to work.”

When someone tweeted the Bipasha Basu pic to Amitabh Bachchan. he replied by sayinG: “Why would you assume that these are a film stars feet ..!!”
A while back Paris Hilton was also involved in a similar situation when she had put up a tweet pic of a young girl massaging her legs. After an uproar, she had apologised.

“The picture was taken at my home. The pair of boots are a difficult pair so my sister and my friend were helping me and I thought it looked damn funny and took the picture as a joke! Don’t we girls help each other while getting ready with dress, make up, hair shoes etc? Is it something new or unheard of? A picture put for fun and humour got picked up by people as ‘child labour’ is absolutely unbelievable. Just so that all get it right: neither of the two are children. Also ‘child labour’ is a serious issue that can’t be used in such a light connotation. I wish that the ones who created such a furore and reacted immediately, actually do something worthy against child labour.”
