Violence is definitely not okay. I agree.

Saying Aamir being a Muslim adds fuel to the fire is different from saying that all these protests are happening just because he is a muslim. Even Raju Hirani is being heavily criticized for the movie. Its not like Aamir is being banned while Raju is not receiving any flak.

All I'm saying is that there's absolutely no need to make it a Hindu-Muslim issue just because of few psychotic idiots who cant tolerate criticism.

One needs to be pretty specific while holding debates like these. Making sweeping statements won't help. It's like taking the whole issue to a different level altogether, whereas the problem lies in the narrow minds of few extremists while rest of the whole country is enjoying the movie and contributing in its record breaking success.

Aamir's SMJ had way too many sensitive and controversial topics.. India accepted it. And its not fanstasy film where alien comes...
And now the controversy is coz ppl first time knew Aamir is muslim??? Damn... Thats insulting India's secularism.

I remember ...last year Shabrukh said something about not feeling secure in India...i think he was misquoted and all hell broke loose...he was told that he is a traitor and needs to go to Pakistan...the very next week Kamalhassan who was pissed over his movie facing problems said that ...India sucks and he wants to leave India...and everyone kept quiet...

So to answer ur question...yes Aamir being a muslim is one of the reasons PK is being bashed...had their been a Hritik or Ajay in it and the response would ha e been totally different...


Hrithik and Ash was in Jodha Akbar and even then Rajput community was agianst the movie. Cant blv its coming from U BI!

Despite that there still were protests against OMG at the time of its release:

I disagree, Aamir being a muslim does make a difference. No one is pointing fingers or bashing raju or abhijat who were the ones who wrote the script.

Peaceful protest is fine, but making statements like PK is financed by ISI is and resorting to violence and vandalism is not.



Wow who said it is financed by ISI?? I showed it to a religious friend of mine who was born and raised in Saudi.. He found the bomb blasting part offensive saying why was Muslims blamed for it..The point I am trying to make is for narrow minded people who may not be smart from both sides this movie can be offensive.. But I think it is going too extreme to say it was financed by ISI..

I would say this whole movement is probably started by those pundits and mullahs who are being questioned because of the message of this movie..

Who financed the PK film? According to my sources it is traceable to Dubai and ISI. DRI must investigate

But don't you guys think its Icronic and damn funny??

These people are proving everything that was said in the movie right. How they are jumping up to voilence for personal vendattas proves to me that the film has acheived what it set out to do so. It has hit the right spots.

These idiots are showing what is exactly wrong with such beliefs and humans in general. They are unmasking themselves infront of the whole world.

In essence, speeding up exponentially what PK wanted people to see and understand. Even the average person who saw the movie and supported them,will now have second thoughts. And he is more likely to chose the alternative which is peacefull, more logical and satisfying.

That is why I said its Hirani's best work till date. Take a bow Aamir, Hirani and Abhijat for taking such a subject and handling it so well and effectivelly.

The film has achieved what it was made more. And that to me is a bigger success that critical or BO aclaim. It has sparked debate, forced people to think and more or less exposed, should I say the wrong numbers.

Very rare does a movie manage to do that so a huge thumbs up to team PK. You guys have truly made an exceptional film.👏👏
