Dignity of the Goan woman has been stripped in 'Dum Maaro Dum'--Shiv Sena

First, the government of Goa alleged that the movie would spoil Goa's image in the minds of the people by projecting the state in the wrong sense and now, the latest troubling factor about the movie is a dialogue that supposedly insults women.

In one of the movie trailers, Bipasha Basu says, "Over here (in Goa)....liquor is cheap, and the women are cheaper.”

And it seems that the Shiv Sena is particularly infuriated by this depiction of women in the movie.
