NEW DELHI: The lights dimmed and India's national anthem drew patriotic cheers before the audience settled down to an action-packed Bollywood movie that has helped fuel a nationalist frenzy as a new cross-border conflict simmers.
Economics student Shailaja Kumar was overcome seeing Uri for a second time Wednesday, just as India and Pakistan announced they had shot down each other's jets."I could not stop crying during the film while following news on the attacks at the same time," she told AFP at a multiplex cinema in New Delhi's upmarket Chanakyapuri neighbourhood.
Jain said Uri, which reportedly earned US$50 million in less than eight weeks,"deserves to be exempted from the entertainment tax".
