Such fanaticism could have proved disastrous, don't you agree?
The bursting of crackers during the 9 pm show at the Upkar theatre in Malegaon triggered panic and 400 among the 900 people walked out of the theatre after parts of the theatre caught fire, reported Huffington Post India.
The website quoted the theatre owner Vijay Bhuse saying that the screening was interrupted for 10 minutes to extinguish the fire.
"We re-started the film in 10 minutes. But by then, out of fear, nearly 400 people had left the theatre. Many were also angrily asking for refunds," Bhuse told the website.
Five youths were arrested in connection with the incident, the report said.
"We plan to charge them with causing riots," Bhuse told the website.
