Do You Support PK Or Boycott PK?

Do You Support PK Or Boycott PK?


The much-hyped movie PK has performed well on box office in last three days. However, the movie has also attracted controversies as it happens when anyone in India touches a sensitive topic like religion. Just like all the other participants, the social media world is also divided into two parts. There are two hashtags trending on Twitter, the first one is #WeSupportPK and the second one is #BoycottPK. So, which category do you belong to? Would you Support PK Or Boycott PK?

Support PK

• The movie is not against religion, God or its existence. The movie just wants people to know that God exists and therefore, God men shouldn’t.

• The movie talks about the most important principle of love and that is sacrifice and happiness of other person. It teaches that letting go your love is the toughest thing but then it is the form of true love.

• The so-called managers of God use the fear of people to sell their marketing gimmicks and make money. The people blindly follow these people.

• The message is clear, it is essential to have faith in God who created us, not in the God created by people to fulfill their personal motives.

• The movie highlights the hypocrisy of people where everyone claims the fallen money but everyone avoids to claim the condoms fallen out of their pockets.

• The movie focuses on prejudices where the likings for a person suddenly convert into hatred as soon as he comes to know about the caste or nationality of other person.

• The movie is made from an alien’s point of view and therefore, it was justified to question the beliefs and values of religion.

• The movie has a scientific aspect which states that aliens exist and even they like to challenge every concept and question everything.

• The movie doesn’t mock religion but only tries to remove cover from hidden religious conservatism.

Boycott PK

• There are many scenes in the movie that clearly mock the Hindu traditions and ceremonies hurting the sentiments of people.

• Secularism doesn’t give right to abuse majority. The right thing is to abuse unjustified dogmas irrespective of religion.

• The movie states that the person who is coward or harbors fear goes to religious places. Well, the maker of movie has really not done his homework before stating the concept in movie. The half truth is nothing but a lie.

• Director Rajkumar Hirani has always made fun of system. He mocked at education system in Munna Bhai MBBS and even did the same in 3 Idiots.

• The movie has mixed the two terms religion and superstition. It failed to highlight the difference between faith in religion and blind faith in superstition.

• The movie has just focused on one religion Hinduism. It has given rise to unwanted religious controversies across the nation.

• The movie 'Oh My God' was well directed as it questioned the God Men of the religions and their unjustified activities. The movie didn’t question the religion.

Conclusion

It is the high time people should figure out the flaws that they conceive and not enter into arguments based on indifferences in ideologies. There are many flaws and drawbacks in the system. The movie just wants to highlight them. However, there is no denying that movie mocked Hindu religion and their practices in some of the scenes which the director should take note of and apologize to the segment.

  • I support PK. And this movie doesnot hurt any religion. It simply says that dont depend on saints. If u have self confidence then no need of any one's help. Even God also says that "If you dont have self confidence then I cant do anything". Iam talking about the persons who are earning the money from innocent people. In fact there are so many people who are believe in saints. I think people should come out of this.

    If any mistakes found sorry for that.

  • Hey Friends,

    Yes, I support this movie PK as it has broken all the records and people are watching this movie repeatedly.It was directed by a well known director who has made the movie like "Munn a Bhai MBBS" and 3-Idots and acted by starrer Aamir Khan.What is projected in this movie is the real picture of what is happening in india and in our society.People are blindly believing in self made God so called "BABAs" and many times we are cheated or deceived and our faith are broken.Every year avg.2 or 3 Babas are caught and jailed because of many cases like Rape,murder,smuggling and so many heinous crimes but people are still believing in those Babas.People and any Hindu community are not standing against those people(babas),and when it is shown in this movie everyone is creating controversies and protesting against it and even those who have not seen movie yet.
    Some Hindu communities say that this movie hurt the sentiment of the hindus but I personally don't think so because this movie (PK) was projected on Alien point of view who comes to earth and is not aware of any religion and has shown how and why people believe in GOD.Many times it happens to everyone that when he/she is in difficulties only when he /she remembers God and rest of the situation he/she forgets God and commits a heinous crime.My one request to all the theist people to believe in God all the time and remember that God is watching us and avoid to do any type of heinous crime . Certainly it will reduce the crime rate in our society. There are many atheist and agnostic type are people leaving in this society so they are neutral and they don't think so .Some people say that it promotes
    "Love Jihad",and also some hindu communities appreciated this movie ,PK ,so different kind of people have different opinion ,and a single movie can not handle all these opinion.
    This movie is just delivering a message the We, people should believe in GOD who made us and don't believe in those god to whom we made.So from my point of view before making any type of controversial remark we should just grapes the message and promote such type of movies and applaud the director and actor to make many more such movies.After all if anyone having problem to any movie that his/her sentiment would be hurted then don't go to cinema to watch movie.And one last point to those who have not seen the movie yet and protesting against it , my request you to is that please watch the movie and give their own feedback.


    Thank you.............................................................................Mohit verma

  • i support pk,first things first none of us have seen gods,nor any one of us knows how does god look like but in it is the puranas or the religious texts which made us belief that there are some characters who posses some special divine powers and capabilities which differentiate from other men.we reffer these special characters to as gods,again there are some people who took advantage of the fact that a section of the population always fears power,made a lazy effort to earn money by making us afraid of these special powers,these section of the population can be reffered to as god fearing people.these ctraitors made an entire buisness where there motive is to earn money only in the name of god....pk challenges these people known as god men....

  • The much talked PK is just a movie and movies are meant for entertainment to ease out in the much stressed life. People do like to watch movies just to lighten their burden and mental pressure and take a break out of work. It is mainly an irrelevant subject to discuss whether a mo0vie needs support or to be boycotted. And in case the subject or the portrayal is so much weird which shouldn’t have been projected, then the time should have been during the censor of the movie. After the movie has passed the censor board, we should ideally criticise the censor board for not working efficiently in getting the controversial scenes removed, instead of agitating the topic in favour and against the notion.

    If we talk in respect to the movie, it is not incorrect in saying that God exists and there is no requirement of a mid-man to link with God. The true heart can get his words directly into the ears of the Supreme Power. But, the way of projection should have been taken care of. We cannot question as to why only the Hindu religion and why not others, as every movie maker tries to localise their concept in conjugation with some or the other realistic theme. It is not possible to reflect every happening in a single movie. Same is the case of religion; it is not possible to reflect every religion.

    The subject like religion always welcomes unwanted controversies even if the director and producer comes to the making of the movie with utmost precautions. It would not be very fair to boycott the movie just on the basis of religion. It would be appreciable if people take the movie in the light temper and don’t create hassles taking the theme to their heart.

  • I think this is not the matter to boycott PK fully the actual fact is now people are totally fed up with their personal beliefs and faiths in the age of inflation.No religion tells about superstitions not the blind faith unnecessary.The movie is just to entertain not to mix up the reality. The reality is to beware of middle man like swami ji.Thank u

  • PK movie is about a man who is entirely from out of our daily routine. He knows nothing of our daily actions and got outraged of the theft and ran for its recovery.At his entrance itself, we showed our great action to that student.
    We, most of us.. levy our deeds and misdeeds everything on God and so he was in search of reply from god regarding his tracking remote..
    jara socho, how our spiritualism is being converting from belief on God to blind faith on Swamiji's. We every one try to think, "ALL ARE EQUAL", but we do vary at many instances of our life. Here, he annoyed due to different opinions of the same color cloth in different religions. The questions raised here are those which most of feel some times. In my view, it doesn't hurt any of the religious feelings..
