In India, Its OK for a movie to make fun of Hindu religion but its not ok to make fun of any other religion?

Nobody dare make a single scene in a movie that does satire on Islam or Christianity but its "OK" to do anything that hurt Hindu sentiments.

Movie "madras cafe" faced huge protests from some groups as people of certain religion followers are shown as terrorists. duh!

Movie "davinci code" is banned in certain parts of India as it hurt sentiments of Christians.duh!!

Movie "Bombay" faced a lot of hardships in showing for certain theaters as they are burnt as the movie hurt the sentiments of Muslims as the story is about a muslim girl falling in love with a hindu. duh !!!!

But everything ok with the movie PK. Whoever raised their voice against it are now "nonsecular" and "narrow minded"

Double standard, eh?????

its an awesome film. I loved it.

Highly recommends it. Its on the lines of OH MY GOD movie.

It's Aamir Khan movie, so I expect it to be good.

Will definitely watch it some time.

What a horrible title, PK. Not watching it just cuz of the name.

what are you talking about?

Christianity is satirised and attacked by the media on a daily basis.
We take it in our stride.

Based on the WillowTV commercials for PK I'd say it looks like the stupidest movie I can imagine. Some mix of Mr. Bean and a Cameron Diaz movie.

scud · Postby **scud** » Tue Dec 23, 2014 2:05 am

I am hearing about this movie for the first time. No clue what it is all about. The title sounds funny. For us Canadians, PK stands for penalty kill. Lol. Bollywood has run out of good names.

Have you never been asked by your parents after a wild night out " Pee Ke aye ho kya"?

in western world you can make fun of any religion including Christianity. India is different. People can openly make fun of Hinduism but it's taboo to ridicule Islam or Christianity. That's different version of affirmative action where minorities are given more insane lawlessness than majority in the guise of secularism.

I watched this movie second day second show- after reading good review of it in the local newspaper. And I loved the movie.

It must be said that this movie has come out unscathed despite being critical of various religious practices. The makers of this movie, and Raju Hirani in particular deserves great kudos for pulling this feat off. It in a nice movie to watch. No doubt there is some elements of ET in it, but considerable portion of the movie is quite original in its storyline. And there is good dose of subtle humour in the movie throughtout that keeps one amused.

Watched the movie.

Really liked it. I rated it 10/10 on Imdb.

Entertaining move throughout.

Much better then all the Salman-ShahRukh crap of last 4-5 years.

Credit goes to RajKumar Hirani too.

He has directed 4 film. 2*Munna bhai, 3 idiot and now PK. All 4 brilliant films.

I did not like the female Lead Anushka aka Virat ki Girlfriend. After her plastic operation she looks totally different.

PK is a wonderful movie. Raises a lot of valid questions about religion.

True the director did go a little overboard on Hinduism while barely mentioning other religions.. but nothing that should not have been raised.

All the ruckus about the movie kind of validates the messages of the movie itself.

Look at the pics she have had lipjob and maybe something with the nose too.

scud · Postby **scud** » Wed Dec 31, 2014 2:19 pm

No way she is 26. Auntie looks already. Bollywood actresses and Pakistani cricketers are known to shed a year or 5 off their ages. Madhuri is still not in her mid 40s for crying out loud which means Vinod Khanna banged a teen in Dayavan. He was around 50 with a hairy chest back then.

scud · Postby **scud** » Wed Dec 31, 2014 3:13 pm

I cant watch a movie at home from start to finish. With so many channels available, the itch to change the channel is always there. Looks like theatre jana padayga.

Asim · Postby **Asim** » Wed Dec 31, 2014 3:17 pm

Even with no channels 3+ hours is a bit too much, unless it's a great movie how can one afford to give 3 and a half hours to a movie at one go.

scud · Postby **scud** » Wed Dec 31, 2014 3:22 pm

3 and a half hours? This is a long one then. I can always take a nap during songs.

Don't know about this one, but isn't that the length of most Indian movies?

afghankhan · Postby **afghankhan** » Wed Dec 31, 2014 5:20 pm

It's not 3 and half.

Around 2 and half hours entertainment.

scud · Postby **scud** » Wed Dec 31, 2014 6:14 pm

How many songs in it? I bet a good 30 minutes worth of naach gaana.

Get a life folks.. it is an AMIR KHAN movie.. that itself means it is gonna suck harder than a black hole.. I mean he lost it after lagan and hasn't found it yet.

Bugger gets jealous of other khans out there and comes out with some crap of this type or other.

P.S I have not watched it nor intend to.

P.P.S Afgan khan you have lost it (your signature!!!).

Wah! Mard ho tu aisa. Whats ur opinion on the dayavan famous kissing scene? Vinod khanna was around 48 and Madhuri 19. Osho ne yahi sikhaya tha khanna ko? Saala candy ki tarha choos raha tha.

Hi,

I really love this movie. This movie is based on Hindu religion. I am big fan of Aamir Khan. I have watched this movie with my family members in North Country Mall (Mohali). We all have enjoyed this movie.

Thanks

Going South · Postby **Going South** » Tue May 12, 2015 7:23 pm

It's no different from KP LIFE story

An extraterrestrial alien comes to earth, losses his remote control that calls his spaceship and get stranded on earth living in an adopted country following its customs, traditions & tattoos. In the end he gets justice and return back to his planet but teaches all other future aliens on how to survive on the alien planet called earth
