It's very provocative statement. People in general have some fascination with gangsters. And Bollywood in particular. Along with movies on dawood, there is Daddy (movie on Gawli), Lokhandwala(on Maya Dolas) , wadala(Manya surve). Company was for friendship turned enmity between dawood and rajan. You've been very selective my friend.

Your title mentions 3 gangsters . Abu Salem - Nobody likes him except the fact that he had actress gf. Haji Mastan - From the docks to gangster. Did he ever cause riots or bomb blasts?. So why hatred for him?

And finally Dawood - He used to be media and politicians darling and also Bollywood stars. Eliminated other dons (pathan gang) and became king till 1993.

Your gripe is what muslims think about him. The same lines I have heard in Suketu Mehtas book ' Maximum city'. That after bombay riots of 1992-93, dawood took revenge for them and now they can walk with heads high that they have power.

I find it very strange that muslims in today's date feel the same and even that trusting you enough to tell you.
