Producer
Ramesh
Sippy
is
all
set
to
release
Dum
Maaro
Dum
this
Friday
(April
22)
amidst
controversies.
The
film
might
enjoy
monopoly
at
the
box
office
this
weekend,
as
Zokkomon
and
Me
Mamu
&
7
are
lesser
known
films.
But
unfortunately,
its
release
date
falls
on
Good
Friday.
So,
doubt
arises
if
it
will
make
a
good
opening.
Dum
Maaro
Dum,
which
is
made
with
a
budget
of
Rs.20
crore,
is
releasing
in
20
countries
at
350
international
locations
and
at
1,000
theatres
throughout
India.
But
sadly,
Good
Friday
could
affect
its
box
office
collection
on
the
opening
day,
as
it
is
a
day
of
penance,
mourning
and
fasting
for
the
Christians
because
Jesus
Christ
died
on
this
day.
So,
it
is
very
unlikely
that
Christians
in
India
and
abroad
alike
will
watch
the
film
this
Friday.
This
will
certainly
affect
its
opening
especially
abroad,
where
Christian
population
is
more.
However,
the
film
could
rake
in
revenue
on
Easter
Sunday
(April
24),
as
people
may
flood
to
the
theatres
in
festive
mood
in
spite
of
the
on-going
IPL
tournament.
May
be
the
makers
of
the
film
have
taken
calculated
risk,
keeping
in
mind
the
festive
weekend
and
no
big
film
to
compete
it.
Dum
Maaro
Dum
is
a
thriller
that
revolves
around
drugs,
sex
and
violence
in
Goa.
It
has
three
stories
revolving
around
lead
actors
Abhishek
Bachchan,
Bipasha
Basu,
Prateik
Babbar,
Aditya
Pancholi
and
Rana
Daggubati.
It
was
also
in
the
news
after
a
petition
was
filed
before
the
Goa
Bench
of
Bombay
High
Court
for
showing
Goa
in
a
bad
light,
but
the
court
has
cleared
its
release.
Now,
the
big
question
is
–
will
Dum
Maaro
Dum
make
a
good
opening?
We
will
come
to
know
its
fate
this
Friday!
