First Day First Show: Good opening for MNIK in Bangalore

King Khan has won the battle. Bangalore movie-goers walking out of multiplex halls and showering praises on `My Name is Khan' (MNIK)

MNIK, which stirred up a controversy in Maharashtra and elsewhere, drew no such flak in Bangalore. Shah Rukh Khan surely won the hearts of viewers here.

In a twist, the crowd seemed to be thanking Shiv Sena for making people more than eager to watch the movie. A Khan fan said the film was so touching that Shiv Sena members should watch it instead of creating trouble.

Sonal Maheshwari, another fan, said, "I love SRK movies. His performance in MNIK is mind-blowing. His act as an Asperger's syndrome patient deserves standing applause."

According to Roshni Safir, a homemaker, the rocking `jodi' of Bollywood is back with a bang. "It will be on the top slot in the box office. Kajol is one of the best actresses in the industry, and after seeing SRK's performance in MNIK, I feel no one can take away King Khan's throne," she added.

Shabaz Mumtaz and Abid Khan, students of CMR Group of Institutions, said, "Our only concern was the ticket being priced at Rs 350. But after watching MNIK, we were more than satisfied."

Nadeem Ahmed, an accountant, said every person should watch MNIK. "It's a touching movie. I am disappointed such a brilliant film has been dragged into controversy. Shiv Sena should watch it; they will learn a lot from it," Ahmed added.

Satish M R, duty manager, Inox, said the movie had a great opening for all nine shows. "We even had a full-house board put up and we had no security concerns," Satish added.

According to Bijan Bose, manager in-charge, PVR, the problems in Maharashtra didn't affect the Bangalore crowd. "The movie had a fantastic opening and the first day was full house," he added.

Being SRK: The ultimate reality TV show

It's a job most Indians would die for — shadowing Shah Rukh Khan wherever he goes. For the last two months, that's exactly what a TV crew has been doing, following the country's biggest star from South Africa to America to London to Mumbai — all for the making of a unique six-part series on the actor, to be telecast on lifestyle channel Discovery Travel & Living. "It's an inner world-outer world kind of documentary," said Khan, speaking exclusively to HT. "Hopefully, the parts that people will get to see of me — at work and at other places — will shed some light on how films and film stars work and offer an insight into how I do things." Khan said he has got to know the crew quite well ("They have been very unobtrusive"). For Discovery Travel & Living, this series will be one of the biggest global productions to come out of India and will be shown all over the world. "We haven't yet decided when we're going to telec...
