Shiv Sena got a taste of their own medicine today when a violent mob of 2000 Dilwale audience members vandalized their party office after they were denied refund by theater authorities. Their protest was against the clearance to the movie by Shiv Sena’s film certification wing, which exposed them to the traumatic experience.

However, this was not how they expected things to turn out in the morning when they thronged the theater hall humming Gerua. Smiles and joy had spread across the faces as they settled themselves for a joyous ride, assuming it was a sequel to DDLJ.

Two minutes into the movie, smiles faded from their faces after a Sumo blew up in the air. Even as audience members looked at each other nervously, another Sumo exploded in the air, and immediately each one of them had a premonition that something bad was going to happen to their 350 rupees. Yet they waited patiently. Then, Varun Dhawan made an entry on top of a monster truck for reasons best known to him, and a dance sequence followed.

Two more Sumos exploded in the air and a grave silence descended upon the hall, as well as on Ratan Tata’s office where his secretary informed him about the carnage Rohit Shetty was wreaking on his product.

“So, how many gone in this quarter?” a pensive Ratan Tata inquired.

“Half of what we had produced.”

His eyes darted towards a poster of Tata Sumo on the wall with the tagline ‘More car per car’ underneath it.

‘Soon there will be no car. Only this poster will be left,’ he thought, and ordered his team to stop production of Sumo and focus only on Nano till Mr. Shetty retires from Bollywood.

Meanwhile, the audience inside the hall turned restive as another 10 Sumos blew up, taking the total to 1000 with no trace of a storyline yet. They stormed out of the hall and demanded refund from the manager, which he declined, citing theater guidelines and requested them to enjoy the second half of the movie.

They quickly burned his effigy and marched towards Shiv Sena’s office, visibly pissed with the people who, according to them, could have saved them from the suffering if they had shown some concern and stalled the release of the movie.

When they reached the office, a Shiv Sena party worker came out with his usual swagger and threatened them with dire consequences. What he did not realize was that he was not dealing with soft targets this time. They had turned into savage warriors after being subjected to Bombay Velvet, PRDP, and now DIlwale.

They smeared his face with black ink and tickled him with a feather till he laughed, for the first time in his life. A few cricket fans joined them and threw plastic bottles in the office, and soon the office looked like a kabadi wala’s collection unit.

Similar scenes were witnessed across other cities as well, where viewers of the movie staged demonstrations outside the offices of concerned moral policing authorities of their respective cities and asked them to apologize for their inaction.
