With Pamaavat protest spreading across the nation more than 500 hundred people have been detained by Mumbai police so far. Security at all multiplexes has been beefed up, special branches team inside the theater in civil uniforms watching movies.
Sanjay Leela Bhansali's magnum opus 'Padmaavat' is releasing on Thursday. But fringe groups are hell-bent on stalling the release. Karni Sena Activists torched vehicles and ran amok in Indore, Ahmedabad, Haryana and other regions on Wednesday, defying Supreme Court's (SC) orders. After the Gurugram school bus was attacked on Wednesday, schools in Noida have closed down for students' safety. Meanwhile, the Multiplex Association of India has said that the film would not be screened in Rajasthan, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Goa. Will the states rein in these goons is the big question.
