A few unidentified men threw hand grenades at a Karachi theatre in Pakistan which was screening Salman Khan’s latest blockbuster ‘Kick’. The bomb blast injured 2 people, one of them is reportedly battling for his life.
The cinema on the MA Jinnah road has been running to packed houses ever since Kick released in theatres last week. Police said the motive behind the attack was similar to those who use grenades to damage property and spread fear.
“Two men on a motorcycle threw the hand grenade at the entrance of Capri cinema and fled from the scene. Two persons were injured,” senior police official Imran Shaukat said.
Due to Eid holidays, both single-screens and multiplexes in Karachi were witnessing record crowds. The film has collected INR 5 crore approx in the country so far.
In the past, militants have attacked cinemas in other parts of Pakistan. Few years back, protest rallies against a anti-Islam film turned violent and protesters tried to burn down two other cinema halls on the Jinnah road.
I feel very sad for this.god bless all of us.
i hope one day every person becomes an atheist & there won’t be any crime in the name of religion or nationalism. it may take 1000 years but it will happen as i see more & more younger generation becoming atheists.

Very sad news
My condolence to the victims and family of kick grenade blast.
2 pages of comments and tragically noone has left a prayer for the injured in as many words- (my apologies if you have but I just read too many disturbing comments for my liking.) Tragic- cmon guys- this attack was indiscriminate and these so called bravado attackers did not care who they attacked as it could be sunni, shia, atheists, christians patrins inside the theatre…! I work with afew guys with pakistani roots and they are sad with each pasding day due the destruction of Karachi by its very own residents- its true certain ppl do not want Karachi n by default Pakistan to prosper…! We should offer a prayer to those injured n battling for their lives rather than trying to score afew points for ourselves/ our fav stars…! Such attacks are cowardice n such behaviours should not be tolerated..! Hope justice previals n these cowards are under arrest asap…! May God help the victims recover in a timely fashion n may God help the city overcome their recent problems with such anti democratic anti peace movement anrachists…! We all deserve the right to move forward so lets pray that is the case n the barbaric believers never succeed whereever they hide in the world…!
Pak is a place of peace loving peoples.. These gangs operating in karachi are mostly afghans.. Anyway deepest smpathies with family of injured peoples and lots of prayers for their gud speedy recovery..
