Online mafia syndicates in Bollywood

I had been researching on this topic for about a month now, but failed to come up with a safe way to expose the online syndicates that systematically sabotage big-budget Bollywood films.

I had unearthed a few startling pieces of information but was not sure how to write about it as the post would point towards a specific company or a person.

The research was also taking a lot of time. At the same time, I had a premonition that Dhoom3 will face such an online attack. Then one day, help came from an unexpected quarter.

I got a message from ‘a Salman Fan,’ which said that an online syndicate is active in full force againstDhoom3.

One day later, a Twitter follower pointed me towards an anonymous post. The faceless and nameless blogger had successfully unearthed an organised smear campaign syndicate that was working overtime to bring down Dhoom3.

Unfortunately, that blog post seemed to have lost the plot and turned out to be a smear campaign against a reigning Bollywood superstar, directly accusing him of using his PR arm to sabotage Dhoom 3 as it is a Aamir Khan film. By falsely accusing another actor of sabotage, they had unfortunately digressed from the actual issue.

The producers of Dhoom3 are busy celebrating the success of Dhoom3 and this, understandably, must have escaped their attention.

So, I decided to bring this to light. 

Dear Bollywood filmmakers, this time they might have failed against a behemoth but tomorrow they might just be successful. Their hate campaigns on social networking sites might make your film crash-land within days of its release.

If you need to protect your film, then pay attention to this smear campaign that was directed against Dhoom 3 and Aamir Khan.

The systematic sabotage against Dhoom 3

A Twitter handle @jodsou was created days before the release of Dhoom3. 

From the day of the film’s release, this Twitter handle ensured that whenever you try to look for information on Dhoom 3, his tweet which trashes the film, would always emerge on top of the stack. So, if you are looking to figure out the word-of-mouth on Dhoom 3 on Twitter, then there is a 90% chance that you will come across his tweets.

Here is the last tweet from the handle where he abuses Aamir Khan. Strangely, after Christmas there has been no tweet from this handle.
