Goa Home Minister Ravi Naik, who claims to be a die-hard fan of comedy film 'Lage Rahe Munna Bhai', has now decided to watch Rohan Sippy's much-hyped controversial forthcoming flick 'Dum Maaro Dum' (DMD).

The recent controversy hovering around the movie has evoked curiosity to such an extent that Naik decided to watch the movie along with State Chief Secretary Sanjay Srivastava, once the film hits theatres on April 22.

"Once the film is released, chief secretary and myself will watch the film in the theatre..." he told reporters today.

In the same breath, Naik said that the movie should first obtain clearances as the state-committee formed by chief minister Digambar Kamat has been asked to give its opinion and recommendations to the Central Board of Film Certificate after watching the movie.

The committee headed by information and broadcasting secretary Rajiv Verma will be viewing the movie in Mumbai this weekend. The committee has been formed after the Goa State Women's Commission filed a police complaint alleging DMD makers for projecting women in a bad light in the movie.

The film starring Abhishek Bachchan, Deepika Paduko, Bipasha Basu and others revolves around drug-laced parties, sex, prostitution and Goa's dark underbelly. The film trailers and publicity materials have come under heavy criticism for depicting the State in negative manner.

Bipasha Basu's dialogue 'Here in Goa, liquor is cheap but girls are cheaper' has drawn criticism along with the alleged depiction of Goa as a drug-infested state.

While the issue was debated in the recently concluded budget session of the Goa Legislative Assembly, the High Court is hearing public interest litigation filed by Savio Rodrigues demanding the ban on the movie.

The bench on Wednesday watched the film promos in the Court hall on the laptop of one of the lawyers, before fixing the matter for argument on Monday.

The counsel representing the distributer for the movie Fox Star Studios India Private Limited informed the Court that the objectionable dialogue from the movie has been deleted.

Both the old promos with objectionable remarks and new edited promos were shown to the bench.
