Da Vinci releases in India on Friday

Finally, the disclaimer battle is over.

After much debate, Sony Pictures Releasing India [ Images ] has decided to give in and run the legal card provided by the Censor Board for 15 seconds before and after The Da Vinci Code. It reads: "The characters and incidents portrayed and the names herein are fictitious, and any similarity to the name, character or history of any person is entirely coincidental and unintentional".

Complete Coverage: The Da Vinci Code

The film, rated A and without any scenes cut, releases in India on Friday, May 26.

Currently enjoying a phenomenal opening worldwide, its Indian release is sure to make the other two Friday releases -- Fanaa and X-Men: The Last Stand -- considerably nervous about their multiplex hopes.

What will you watch: Fanaa or Da Vinci Code?
