My Name Is Khan Watched by Mumbaiker
My Name Is Khan got full house in two Mumbai theatres—the Shiv Sena’s protests against the movie’s actor Shah Rukh Khan didn’t scare fans.
Fun Cinemas was the first multiplex in Mumbai to announce that it will not screen the movie on Friday, but later made a turnaround and decided to go ahead with the shows. Inox too screened the film. The movie was sold out at both the theatres.
Fame is expected to start at 2.30 p.m., but other multiplexes like fame Adlabs and Big Cinemas are not following suit. Morning shows across 63 theatres in Mumbai were cancelled though there was extra security around the multiplexes in this financial and entertainment capital of India.
Actress Pooja Bedi who came to Fun Cinemas with her father Kabir Bedi couldn't get tickets. All they saw was a House Full sign.
"I am certainly disappointed for not getting tickets but very happy that the film is going House Full. Police are doing a fabulous job. People need not fear at all. I walked down the street, there were no one with lathi (stick) and stones," Bedi told reporters outside the Fun Cinemas multiplex in Andheri West.
The movie was originally scheduled to hit 63 cinema halls in Mumbai. It ran into trouble as Shiv Sainiks started going on the rampage Tuesday, to protest Shah Rukh Khan's statement that Pakistani cricketers should have been included in this year's edition of the Indian Premier League.
Early afternoon, other multiplexes and major cinema owners were still closeted in a meeting with the movie's distributors and producers to sort out the issue of adequate security if they did decide to screen the film. Their decision is expected to be known later this afternoon.
The no-show in the morning came despite assurance of adequate security for the movie screening by Chief Minister Ashok Chavan, Home Minister R R Patil, Minister of State for Home Ramesh Bagwe and Police Commissioner D. Shivanandhan.
Patil called the movie’s screening a success for the government.
Halls that did not screen the film include the G-7 cinemas, Apsara, Maratha Mandir, Dadar Plaza, Broadway and other single-screen halls.
In a related development, Revenue Minister Narayan Rane demanded that the registration of Shiv Sena as a political party be cancelled.
