Controversy

Khalid Youssef alleged that there was a dirty plot to limit the film's financial success. Despite getting a good revenue from the theaters, many of them pulled out Dokkan Shihata, supposedly to let other films such as “Al-Farah” (The Wedding Party) and “Bobbos”. He alleges theatrical distribution tycoons are responsible for "killing" it.^[1]
