Panaji:
Goa Police said that the overall projection of the state, especially drug trade, in Rohan Sippy's Dum Maaro Dum was 'incorrect'.
"Movies are movies. They are meant for three hours of entertainment," Director General of Police Bhimsen Bassi said offering his first ever reaction to the movie which had run into controversy in the state.
"Whatever DMD may try to project, the fact remains that women can safely walk on the roads of Goa even after 10.30 in the night," he said.
Bassi stated that the women in Goa are allowed to dress the way they want. There is no societal compulsion on them, that is the best part of this state.
Speaking to reporters after commissioning 'marine commando force', Bassi said the the police have done a lot towards safety of women in the state.
DMD starring Abhishekh Bachchan, Bipasha Basu had evoked strong criticism for portraying Goa in a poor light. The movie had also highlighted policemen-drug peddler nexus.
Bassi refused to comment on whether the Police had seen the movie before its release in the state.
The state police in a letter to Sippy had requested that the movie should be screened to them before its release.
State Home Minister Ravi Naik had said that he would watch the movie with state home secretary Sanjay Srivastava. But Naik said today that he was yet to see the movie.
