Mumbai fans disappointed over `Kaminey`, Life Partner` no-show

Mumbai: Fans in Mumbai were in for a huge disappointment as one of the most-awaited movies of the year, `Kaminey` could not be released in the metropolis today.Vishal Bhardwaj`s `Kaminey` and Rumi Jafrrey`s `Life Partner` were released elsewhere in the country except Mumbai, Navi Mumbai and neighbouring Thane district, following government`s directive on Wednesday to shut down the cinema houses for three days in wake of Swine Flu threat.

"I had planned to go for `Kaminey` with my friends this weekend," 19-year-old Shyamalee said adding `but health concerns too are important.` Shekhar Chavan, a businessman, said, "I hope that the stalled release of the movie in the megapolis does not spur the sale of pirated DVDs." Schools and colleges in Mumbai have also been closed for a week because of the viral infection which has claimed 24 lives nationwide, with 15 alone in Pune. Bureau Report
