When I first saw Sarfarosh when I was young, I was immensely thrilled and started liking Aamir Khan. Known as Mr. Perfect in making his films. Whether it be Lagaan, Taare Jameen par, 3Idiots.. liked his every movie and one can say he is best of Khans in choosing the scripts. At the same time was in awe for the Rajkumar Hirani’s Munnabhai series. Naturally had lot of expectations when the duo are coming back as PK.
Story: An alien (Aamir) is dropped in the desert by a spaceship to research the life on earth. But immediately his valuable transmitter is being snatched by a thief. Now he has no way to call back his spaceship. So he goes in search of it. People suggest that, only God could save him. And now this alien known as PK, starts searching God. He gets confused with several religions and keeps questioning the Rituals mostly of Hindus. Good thing he exposes a fake sadhu in his journey. And finally somehow connects this to a love story of a Hindu girl(Anushka) and a Pakistani Muslim boy(Sushanth).
Why PK not OK…
Rituals in a religion has their significance and few date back to the social events in the past.
When PK questions why people pray to idols. I remember one thing. On Independence Day and Republic day, we do Flag hoisting and salute to the Indian Flag. Are we saluting to a Pole and a cloth or are we saluting to our motherland? He makes all fuss in temple and breaks coconut in a church.. But why is he stopped on streets itself, before he entering into mosque with the wine bottles?
Is there no better place for the director to showcase the encounter of PK with Lord Shiva than a restroom? And after the famous chasing of Lord shiva on streets, he announces on stage that he met the God in the Restroom. In a country, where many throw money on lavish parties, I could not first comment on few pints of milk used for Abhishekam and I neither support it too.
Questioning the fake sadhu and the concept of “Wrong Numbers” is perfect and had the entire movie on same lines, I would have filled all these paragraphs with praises on Aamir’s acting. But Atleast Sadhus don’t preach on killing innocent in the name of Religion.
The same questioning in OMG was never falsified... the intent of questioning is wrong here.
After watching all this, the enlightenment via a love story where the Boy calls the embassy every day at 9 for this girl too had some wrong signals and felt funnier than the gravity defying fight sequences in Dhoom3.
Powerful yet dumb Alien!!
PK represents a powerful alien, who can grab the entire language and read the mind by holding the hands of a person. And he comes in a space ship. So as we know the potential of his race, Can he not understand the significance of currency? As he foolishly brings in all notebooks, posters printed with Gandhi’s image for buying vegetables!!!! I really wonder how could a planet which had spaceships had no clothes??
Problem one has with PK is its partiality and mockery of ones belief without complete knowledge. There are many ways of enlightening people and PK took the wrong way. There are several other ways a movie on integrity of nation can be made. Doesn’t we love Maniratnam’s “Mumbai” ? While Kamal hassan had so many troubles bringing out Viswaroopam, Aamir cleared the censor simple and minting crores.
By the way .pk is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Pakistan. Like we use .in for some of our websites, edu.pk, org.pk are used by educational institutes/ non-profit organizations in Pakistan (Please refer to the Wiki of PK). Whatever it is Aamir lost a fan with his PK is what all I could say.
