Richa Chabbra writes: "India is a secular country and Shiv Sena is trying to divide our people on the lines of language and zone."
LYN adds: "The Sena have gone far and beyond limits. I think Bollywood celebs, cricketers etc. should come out strongly against them."
The filmmakers will definitely be hoping that the support that the film is enjoying on the Internet translates into footfalls into Mumbai's theatres on Friday.
And a final word from Shobhaa De: "Irony. To watch
Avatar, viewers needed 3-D eyewear. To watch
My Name Is Khan, we require full combat gear, bullet proof vests. Cultural terrorism. Fight back."
