My Name Is Khan release today all over india.
Shah Rukh Khan starrer film My Name Is Khan, facing the Shiv Sena’s ire, got off to a smooth screening in the cinemas and multiplexes in Delhi.
Isolated cases of protest against screening of the film were, however, reported last night when persons claimed to be Shiv Sainiks tore posters of the movie and damaged window panes of Satyam cinema hall in west Delhi. All the five persons were detained by the police.
The film, which is banking on the chemistry of Shah Rukh and Kajol, has recieved a good response in theatres here.
Sena had yesterday threatened that it will not allow the screening of the film in cinemas and multiplexes in the national capital region. The party is protesting against Khan’s remarks favouring inclusion of Pakistani players in the IPL.
In another incident, an advertising hoarding of Amul, featuring Shah Rukh Khan was set on fire by some people, police said. Some posters of the movie were also damaged by a some people in Nizamuddin area of the city.
The financial loss for the film is likely to be around Rs 40-45 cr for producers, distributors and film exhibitors. The Shiv Sena and Shahrukh Khan’s tussle result for the huge financial loss. Shahrukh Khan’s favoring the inclusion of Pakistani players in the IPL has agitated the Shiv Sena activist and they banned the screening of ‘My Name Is Khan’ across Mumbai. Made on a budget of 40 cr, the film has been sold to Fox Star Studios for Rs 85 crore. Many theatres refused for advance booking and the few theatres that were opened for advance booking could not continue with the process.
Over 2000 prints of the film has been released and 300 was released alone for Mumbai theatre. The film could easily gross 100 crore in the first week but the present scenario will badly hampered the box office collection.
