To du ppl knw pk ws 1st titled as Hey bhagwan.. it is story abt alien(aamir khan) who comes down on earth & try to undertsand the various cultures & religions..in this he question on why do ppl worships bhagwan,christ, allah & other gods.. Questing them that he hsn't seen any of them even though he hs come frm heaven to earth.. There r other things as well to the story.. Can't reveal it.. Just hope raju hirani doesn't go overboard & hurt sentiments of ppl & religions.. If it does than it will dent raju & aamir image among ppl..

I have been wondering what the story of the movie is and I am sort of concerned. Religion and beliefs are really important to some/majority of the people and sometimes movies/books/art etc. on religions is not handled that well and it ends up hurting people's sentiments. I really hope that's not the case with PK. I am not an Aamir fan, at all. I can't stand him but I might be watching PK because of Raju Hirani's previous movies. To me, Aamir's acting is too artificial - I don't find it organic (my opinion NOT stating a proven-fact)

I have a feeling, if that is indeed the story of the movie, that if it doesn't do well PK people are going to say 'it was a risque movie', 'people aren't ready to accept such deep movies yet', and so on. I really hope they don't come out with such statements because then it starts sounding like sour grapes - be proud of the fact that you tried something (different) even if it fails. I'd rather respect a person who tries something and fails and be able to say 'I went wrong here, I think I'll try it a different way next time' than someone who doesn't try or tries, fails and blames other people for not liking his/her work.

I was really looking forward to watching Talaash (it's not easy for me to watch any of Aamir's movie, I really can't stand his artificial acting) but after it released some statements were given along the lines of 'it was a risk, people aren't ready to watch such movies', and etc. And I don't think I'd be watching Talaash anymore even if I am in the mood for something different in terms of genre of the movies. (I might watch it in future, who knows)

I liked OMG and I believe in God. Some parts in the movie I found offensive, even being a non-hindu, and thought those could have been handled well. To handle such topics like religion, racism, etc. you need a sensitive touch/thought process. I don't know if anyone here has watched Meri Zaat Zarr-e-Benishaan (Pakistani TV Drama). The main theme in there was religion and it was handled really well (the drama is based on a book and I haven't read the book yet). So books/dramas/movies on religion are made and appreciated but only if they are handled well and a lot of thought has been put into how the final product looks like.

If they younger inspiring stars want those festivals spots they have to dare to clash if not u cant accuse Aamir for looking a better date for his movie.

Problem here is that they planned to release it in June and many other films announced their releases accordingly. Then suddenly, Aamir changes it to Christmas which result in BV, DBB and maybe Phantom having to change their dates. There'd no confusion had Aamir stuck to his "Christmas is mine" attitude from the start.

@ Krrish4U: I agree with you on the hype thing. Too much hype can be a really big turn-off/put-off people from watching movies. I won't speak for anyone else but I was only able to watch Jab We Met about 5 years of its release when all the hype had died down. Similarly, 3 Idiots I only watched last year i.e. 2013 and liked it. If I would have watched any of these movies when they were released I don't think I would have liked them as much as I do now.

I have no problem with Aamir 'arm twisting exhibitors' for two week interrupted run for PK ... Arre akhir profit ka sawaal hai but at same time Aamir should not act like saint and say 'I dont care about BO'

Be brave, say it that he cares for BO... Why such denial? Each and every star wants to have blockbuster film and there is no harm in that!

if u see the ending of OMG they showed GOD exists they pointed out how people are superstitious and how many people use religion to make money

here the problem is not clash...if the young gen want to clash, the biggies are not allowing to clash...

they are acquiring all the screens...where will others go to clash...from the ABC single screens to all multiplex will show only one movie for 2-3 weeks...

th audience dosent have another choice or option than make the khan movie hit...
