Dokkan Shehata (Shehata shop) is a 2009 Egyptian drama film starring Mahmoud Hemida, Amr Saad, Haifa Wehbe and Ghada Abdel Razek. The film is directed and produced by Khaled Youssef.
Controversy
Khalid Youssef alleged that there was a dirty plot to limit the film's financial success. Despite getting financial success in theatres, many of them withdrew Dokkan Shehata, supposedly to show other films such as Al-Farah (The Wedding Party) and Bobbos. He alleges theatrical distribution tycoons are responsible for "killing" it. The film also was reported by a number of commentators to have predicted the Egyptian revolution of 2011 [1]
Reception
Box office
In the first three weeks after its release, Dokkan Shehata grossed E£9 million in revenues.[1] It was second to Omar & Salma starring Tamer Hosny and Mai Ezzeddine, which grossed E£13 million.
