The only place 'Aligarh', the film on the tragic life of gay AMU professor Srinivas Ramchandra Siras, will not open in is Aligarh.

Movie-goers in Aligarh, who had been waiting excitedly to see the Manoj Bajpai starer that has received heady acclaim in India and abroad, were a bit surprised when they realised on Friday that no theater was playing it though the film had hit screens across the country that very day. They, however, didn't read much into it, thinking their "tier-2 city" would get the biopic on Saturday instead.
