Its true no one supported SRK. Instead most of BW laughed at him or mocked him. I remember his so called friend Juhi made some statements saying she heard DW is a bad film hence she hasnt seen it. All this hurt SRK's reputation. SRK later even returned distributors money. But its also true that some protests were there. Akshay guy had indirectly spoken about no producer taking the hit during the ADHM controversy and exhibitors having to pay the price and he gave example of DW. But I am not sure if something happened to his cinema during DW times or not.
I think overall this whole releasing movies in cinemas must stop in India till cinema owners, governments and radical elements learn a lesson. Better release movies directly on the net(anyways most watch on net itself) or DTH.
