PK - movie review

[sarv_shaktimaan]

I won't waste time watching this movie , or most Bolly movies for that matter.. only few movies like 4/5 a year max for me, only after hearing rave reviews.

Even that 3 idiots movie was like reading a book of jokes. I couldn't dare watch it the second time.

Haven't watched any of the Dhoom movies..

same with Talash.. it was like reading a great story and then it says this was all a dream.

P.S. Guess I'm on oldie who can't stand most of the BS lyrics songs and movies. Been a couple years I heard a decent Hindi song.

Btw,

Have we missed the outrage over sanctimonious Aamir Khan having no issues at all with Sanjay Dutt shooting for PK while on parole?

People say they are low-intelligence ordinary people and then they can't watch Dhoom 3... I am surprised as the movie was a low-intelligence ordinary movie

Anyways, watched PK. Good comedy movie... though after sometime it seems to become a one-track movie. The paki-angle was literally hilarious... and totally faked-looking. They could easily have used another Indian guy from down south or something... could have been more viable with the sensitive crowd of India. Especially when the one-track was about a big-time guru... a practical no-no, even after umpteen scandals with big-time gurus.

Back to the movie, good comedy... but that's all. They could have made it more interesting and more comic... but the director seems to have toned it down. Would never know why.

a few gems I read on twitter about this movie..

PK logic
If you feed a cow, you are an illiterate.
If you eat a cow, you are an intellect.

.pk is internet domain extension for Pakistani websites just like .in for India

He is good. He has a small role ... and a song (tharki chokro). He gets killed in a terrorist attack.

now that is irony.. for somebody behind bars in real life for knowing about terrorist attacks and getting weapons from terrorists. And then out on parole shooting a movie saying his wife is unwell.

He is a blast... or should I say, he is in a blast. Short role... maybe a total of 10 minutes, including a song.

Don't listen to the idiots here. It is a decent movie and not at all an anti-India or anti-Hindu movie. It stresses on my point... that... chewtiya toh lakhon milenge, chewtiya banane wale aur chahiye.

I found OMG way better than PK.

Unnecessary Paki angle, then appearance of dialogues like (A muslim kabhi dokha nahi de sakta) more than twice, then unnecessary love connection from amir with anushka. It is full commercial movie. People think they are getting more intellectual after watching each Amir's movie while he along with producers having fun time making mockery of Hinduism and generating huge money. Hindu religion is very easy target. No body complains as such and you earn money.

I got this on whatsapp

PK फिल्म पर एक कवि मित्र की ताजा कविता:


ना महंत हूँ न पंडा हूँ, ना ही कोई पुजारी हूँ,
निज परम्परा और धरम का ना कोई व्यापारी हूँ,

मैं बस एक सनातन धर्मी,थोडा सा झुंझलाया हूँ,
आज शाम को आमिर तेरी फिल्म देखकर आया हूँ,

सीधे सीधे कुछ सवाल है,ज़रा खोलकर कान सुनो,
सुनो हिरानी,सुनो चोपड़ा,प्यारे आमिर खान सुनो,

इस दुनिया के हर मज़हब में कहाँ नही कमियां बोलो,
और अछूती रीति रिवाजों से है कब दुनिया बोलो,

इंसानों के बने बनाये तौर तरीके शामिल हैं,
हर मज़हब को अपने किस्से अपने लहजे हासिल हैं,

धर्म सनातन आडम्बर है,और कहानी गढ़ लेते,
लेकिन चोट मारने से पहले गीता ही पढ़ लेते,

आडम्बर ही था दिखलाना,तो कुछ और बड़ा करते,
हर मज़हब के आगे,इसका मुद्दा आप खड़ा करते,

केवल धर्म सनातन ही क्यों तुमको चुभा बताओ जी,
कहाँ नही आडम्बर,कोई मज़हब तो दिखलाओ जी,

आडम्बर है यदि शिव जी को दूध चढ़ाना,मान लिया,
गौ माता को चारा देना,तिलक लगाना,मान लिया,

तो फिर सारी दुनिया आडम्बर है बस आडम्बर है,
होली ईद दीवाली वैसाखी क्रिसमस आडम्बर है,

लक्ष्मी दुर्गा शिव गणेश गर राह पड़े आडम्बर है
तो मस्जिद के पत्थर पत्थर बहुत बड़े आडम्बर हैं,

भूल गए तुम टोपी जालीदार दिखाना भूल गए,
आडम्बर नमाज़ पढना है,ये बतलाना भूल गए,

अमरनाथ पर तंज कसे पर हज का चर्चा भूल गए,
मस्जिद बनने पर मिलता सरकारी खर्चा भूल गए,

अगर लेटकर मंदिर में आना जाना आडम्बर है
तो फिर या हुसैन कहकर कोड़े खाना आडम्बर है,

नहीं दिखाए तुमने कटते गाय बैल और बकरे क्यों,
केवल हिन्दू परम्परा के तौर तरीके अखरे क्यों,

हमने तो धागे बरगद के चारों ओर बंधाएं है,
तुमने हज में जाकर बोलो किसके चक्कर खाए हैं,

तुम ज्ञानी हो अगर तुम्हे मंदिर आडम्बर लगते हैं,
हमको भी मस्जिद के सब मंज़र आडम्बर लगते हैं,

सत्यमेव जयते के नायक,आधा सत्य दिखाया क्यों,
छुपा लिया इस्लाम,सनातन धर्म मिथक बतलाया क्यों,

ये सवाल कुछ ऐसे हैं जिनका जवाब देना होगा,
कलाकार हो समानता का भी हिसाब देना होगा,

इस पीके से खूब कमा लो,मौका तुमको दिया चलो,
पक्षपात जो किया आपने,माफ़ आप को किया चलो,

शर्त यही है थोड़ी हिम्मत लानी होगी छाती में,
अगली पीके फिल्म बनाओ जाकर आप कराची में

I definitely agree that the movie has funny moments.

If I had to analyze the movie carefully, there were plenty of flaws.

Religion has been around since the dawn of human civilization. Hindu religion specifically has been the bastion for scientific and technological advancement. It is easy to overlook the positive aspects of religion, or the history and nature of the religion and focus on the fringe.

But let's give the movie-makers the benefit of doubt and stick to their theme - manipulative practices of religious leaders. They point out how college students donate money to a street-corner, makeshift idol. They show how one person was given a crazy task to help his terminally ill wife.

Well! While these examples are corny and manipulative, they are benign compared to other religions which demand their adherents to blow up buildings and airplanes, stone people for adultery or throw acid on women! Were the movie-makers too chicken to confront the rabid Islamic priests and took the easy path of attacking Hinduism? The guru had a good retort - "Bomb tum log phod rahe ho, aur jawab de hum?"

Hindu devotees flock to these Mahagurus out of their own volition. Nobody has a gun on their head. I think the guru's advice to the Hindu girl to not marry the pakistani boy was spot on. Even if the boy had good intentions, there are too many extraneous factors to deal with in Pakistan. Uski jab gaand lagegi, tab guruji yaad ayenge!

There was a certain amount of lecturing in the movie that I simply ignored. If the message was "don't lose your rationality in the name of religion", I'll accept that. Nothing more, nothing less.

Exactly. That Guru was wise enough to advice that.

I have known and maintained this for long.. most Bollywood collection records are fake.

New controversy: Aamir Khan’s ‘PK’ box office collections ‘fixed’? Trolls target scribe on Twitter

In an intriguing tweet, business journalist and Managing Editor of ‘Moneylife’ has cast aspersions on Aamir Khan’s ‘PK’ movie box office collections.
According to Dalal, a cinema in Mumbai barely had anyone watching it despite the fact that the movie is ratcheting up its box office collections and has become the highest grosser in India with over Rs 300 cr in earnings – it has also turned into the first movie in India to cross the Rs 300 cr mark and is well on its way to obliterate the all-time Bollywood record of Rs 500+cr mark set by Aamir Khan’s own movie ‘Dhoom 3′.
However, all those figures have not really impressed Dalal, who asked, ‘Who paid?’.
