The Superstar Rajinikanth starrer Kaala has released today worldwide. While there was much opposition by fringe elements in Karnataka who demanded a ban of the movie due to several statements by Superstar on the Cauvery water issue, the court had ordered the government to offer police protection to the theaters playing Kaala.
However, the movie faced lots of struggles before finally releasing in Karnataka. Now, finally, bookings have begun in several theaters of Karnataka for Kaala. Kaala has been generally receiving mixed to average reviews all over, but the opposition against Kaala in Karnataka has not reduced a bit.
Yesterday, several Kannada outfits
protested against some theaters that had planned to exhibit Kaala, and had
planned to indulge in violence. However, the police intervened on a timely
manner, and had arrested the protesters, and from noon show, the
movie has started to release in several theaters in Bangalore and other main
cities of Karnataka. The fringe elements have been arrested and extra police
forces are currently deployed to protect theaters.
