Aamir armtwists exhibitors for a 2-wk uninterrupted run for P.K - Page 9

OMG was not offensive. What it showed holds true for all religions. They did not just speak about Hindus. Didn't Paresh count all candles he had lit at various churches, chaadars that he gave at mazaars?

Fact is that true values of religion are forgotten and there is over emphasis on outward customs or quick fix solutions. And it is a reality that many babas and so called godmen are fake and turned it into a business.

OMG rather reinforces that God exists and He is good. At the end it did not leave any room for atheists and skeptics.

Some sections criticised it for taking a rather safe route in the end.

I think if rumours are anything to go by then PK is a risky film in a country like India. It's subject may not be as universally appealing as Raju's previous films. Some leaked pics from shooting of PK also caused controversy.

Maybe this is also a reason why Aamir wants to play safe.

OMG also had its share of controversies. PK has bigger names involved in it, and one of them a Khan, hence increased risk.

Talking of clash, I think apart from profits the older stars are also concerned about warding off competition from younger challengers. Or else they could face embarassment the way the mighty team of Lamhe faced embarassment clashing with Phool Aur Kante whose small team beat them black and blue at ticket counters! The possibility of a BV beating PK is remote but if risk can be avoided then why won't the powers to be avoid it?

😆 jee salman bhai p bhi hujate 400 nhe to 300 he sahe 😆

@Krrish4U: Yup, only one time watch for me. I really liked the story/script of the movie. I have to like the acting too to be able to watch it a second time but like I said in my earlier posts, I don't find Aamir's acting organic and can't stand it.

Also, I had one major problem with the movie: female roles in the movie were too short, more like cameos. Either include them in the story fully (not talking about screen-time but the story-telling and the story itself) or don't include them at all. I understand that the story was about 3 guys trying to and wanting to live doing what they enjoyed but the female roles seemed like they were put in the movie just to satisfy a section of the audience. But, I did like the 'love story' in the movie. It was sweet and cute.

@Me_Anonymous: Yeah! Actress role in 3 idiots ws very less..Bt script ws such dat it ws hard to give bebo's role more screen space.

I agree with both of you.

I love 3 Idiots. But the weak roles of females struck me too. We never got to know what Pia's passion was. Did she really want to be a doctor or was only following her dad's wish?

And why was she marrying that price tag guy again after 10 years despite rejecting him earlier? Again giving in to father's diktat?

We aren't even told what Mona has studied. She's just a pregnant showpiece!

Finally I can't believe creative minds like Raju Hirani and Abhijat Joshi could come up with nothing better than balatkar and sthan jokes to convey message about hazards of rote learning! That speech was sexist, cheap and lame attempt to create humour.

As much as I love Hirani's films there's no denying he neglects females and their perspectives in his films and often caricatures all other characters except his leading men!

waiting for pk.hirani is the most talented Bollywood director.

I am with Aamir on this one.Bollywood is a cruel business at the end of the day everyone wants to get the max what they can get. Eid-Salman,Diwali-SRK, Christmas-Aamir. 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.
