House full: SRK fans defeat Shiv Sena plans
NDTV Correspondent, Friday February 12, 2010, New Delhi

After much negotiation and a meeting on Friday morning, multiplexes in Mumbai have decided they will have limited screenings of Shah Rukh Khan's new film, My Name is Khan.  Most single-screen cinemas, however, have ruled against the film for security reasons. (Watch: Bollywood for SRK)

Here's how other cities across India greeted the film:

Delhi:
Shiv Sainiks attacked the Satyam cinema hall in Janakpuri in Thursday night. Some hoardings of Shah Rukh Khan were burnt at Nizamuddin also last night. Bookings for the film, though, have been good in Delhi and it released per schedule.

Kolkata, Bangalore: In cities like Kolkata and Bangalore, fans have ensured packed shows, stressing that they want to support Shah Rukh Khan for having the courage of his convictions, and for refusing to apologize to the Shiv Sena. (Watch)

Ahmedabad: In Ahmedabad, there was a brief scare after the Vishwa Hindu Parishad threatened to attack cinemas showing the film. The first show at all theatres was cancelled, but after reassurances by the state government, the second show rolled out on schedule.
 
Gurgaon: The first show of My Name is Khan began at 10 am Gurgaon's Ambience Mall. (Watch)

Chandigarh: The film is running to packed houses in the city though multiplexes have increased security.
