Shah Rukh Khan magic creates mini-riot in Ulhasnagar

Yes dear friends, only SRK's magic can make miracles happen... And this time, it's a pretty impressive feat, even by Badshah standards. He's actually made the word 'terror' disappear; from the hearts and minds of people - if not in actual terms (now wouldn't that be the day?). While each and every movie released around and after the recent terror strikes in Mumbai have all but paralyzed the movie-going junta in their home-viewership couches, it is the jadoo of the Khan that has 'un-paralyzed' them into action again. Suddenly, fear of visiting public places like multiplexes, cinema halls and malls seems to have take a backset to viewing Shah Rukh's first release in over a year (if we don't count Bhootnaath) - Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi.
The lethal combination of the DDLJ star and director Aditya Chopra, coming together after over seven years (Mohabbatein was their most recent film together) has got the audiences in a tizzy. Add to it a new girl and some dancing sequences and already the theatres are all but full. In fact, trade analysts are surprised at the incredible advance booking the movie has seen. All screens are almost full in advance in the main cities. While in places like Ulhasnagar, one theatre witnessed a mini riot as over 400 people gathered outside demanding tickets. Suddenly the buzz is the need of the audiences to watch their favourite superstar and not stay rooted in terror in the anticipation of an event.
Well, like we said, it's our stars and our movie magic that eventually unites our nation as one whole - and then any kind of 'terror' can simply disappear. Right SRK?
