- Francois Gautier ?@fgautier26: #BoycottPK for promoting love jihad in name of secularism, while a Hindu boy loving a Muslim girl would have been blasphemy for #Islam
- Vineet Upreti ?@upretivineet: #boycottPK if u want Pakistani son-in-laws for your Hindu daughters then PK is a must watch
- Ravi @iamravii: #BoycottPK is trending. The worse part is that the trend didn’t come out of fanwars but from extremists who live far away from reality.
- Francois Gautier ?@fgautier26: #BoycottPK, It is clear that Aamir Khan and the crew of PK thought nothing about insulting Hindu Gods in the most derogatory fashion
- Jayesh #HDL ?@jayeshdewana12: PK ridicules every aspect of Hinduism , this movie must be banned , Hindus too have sentiments , don`t we ? #boycottPK
- Ritu4India ?@RITURATHAUR: #boycottPK Yet another bollywood anti Hindu movie . Its getting disgusting day by day!
Why do people always bring religion in maximum topic?
Fools are trending it, but it’s not gonna affect pk. PK is a nice movie and it deserves to be watched.
I watched the movie.. It was against Hindu religion. My problem is with PK is.. if they are showing the flaws of religion and beliefs, they should give equal screen time to all religions.
Do they have the guts to show Aamir entering the mosque with wine / alcohol bottles? They cut that scene. Because they knew it would be controversial.
But when it comes to showing anything against Hinduism. They go all out.
The media too.. in the name of secularism.. is anti-hindi.. anything against the minority is bad, anything against hinduism should be tolerated.
Double standard hypocrites!!
This trend is creating more curiosity and excitement fot the film. Sorry for those who are trying to trend it, it will not affect its box office by even 0.001 percent.
Masala films like [HNY/Kick]: Cheap entertainment!
Critically acclaimed art house films[Lunch box]: Boring. No entertainment
Satires [OMG/PK]: Hurts sentiments
Slapstick comedies[Entertainment]: Brainless movies
Superhero films [K3, Ra 1]: Ripoffs!
South remakes: Writers have no talent. No creative thinking
Haters gonna hate. Keep calm, and enjoy the movies you like :)
Bjp is ruling so pk wil b convertd to hinduism:)
just chill buddies itz just a movie
tweets r mainly targetd twrds amir more than writer director raj kumar hirani
Yes, the film must be boycotted. Even though the film is good, it cannot be tolerated. Why we Indians are so eager to accept Pakistani actors in our films? Do Pakistanis allow Indian actors in their films?
Also why must the love story always be ‘pakistani muslim’ boy with ‘Indian hindu’ girl? This is love jihad. The film mocks hinduism. Will Hirani have the guts to mock Islam? No he won’t. Else he will be killed. Hindus are too soft thats why they tolerate this all the time. Mocking religion as a whole would have been acceptable. Mocking a particular religion is ‘secularism’.
Negative publicity will help pk to get more attention now
i dont underestand the point of worshiping statues or demi gods
but i do believe there is a super natural power beyond our imaginations
very happy that this controversy has happened.it will only create more buzz around the already loved movie.nw 2nd weekend is ready to b record breaking.
thanku all d idiots for trending #boycott pk
surprisingly there was similar #boycotthaider done by some regressive ppl.
this stupid boycott trends of hugely popular mvz dealing with religion indicates that despite all the modernisation and progress of india there r still some fools existing in our country.
lagta hai inke dimaagma kono ne wrong no. wala kila mar diya hai
These fake Hindus will never realize it’s a straight defamation against “HINDU” community. Shame on you. guys who believe themselves to be a true Hindu and still watching this pathetic movie!!! It’s an anti hindu agenda going on in bollywood for a long time. Stop this bs,WAKE UP!!!! #rejectPK #BANPK #STOPPK #BoycottPK
PK depicted fraudulent people who sell deceit dressed as religion. Those who think otherwise, are the audience of those cons.
Hey, by going against this movie you are going against Vedas which says you will enter into more darkness when you worship idols. Also what is there to show against Islam???. Islam says there is only one God who created all human beings and it is not present in idols. God sees and listen every one….he doesn’t requires human like ears or eyes to understand his creatures.
@Syed, god doesn’t have any form, Hindus just use idols to worship the supreme being. Idols are nothing but a symbol, a form, for the mind to connect and concentrate on.
There are so many flaws in Islam, I don’t even want to go there because it will be too controversial for this page.
Hindus and Muslims just have different ways of praying to the same supreme being. What exactly is your problem if we worship a idol??
This controversy won’t do anything, but will strengthen PK even more.
These jobless people have nothing else to do. Whenever they see they are losing the plot they will forcibly insert the religion in between. God/Allah/Bhagwan should give some sense to them.
Coming to PK, I went for the afternoon show in a fully packed multiplex (Thanks god, had booked the tickets in advance) and I completely loved the movie. Though the concept is more of an upgraded version of OMG but Hirani has added his own twists and turns in that, Thus making it a complete entertainment package. I’m going with 4/5 stars and I must say, that PK has repeat value and this will definitely help it in long run.
@indicine why you didn’t add my review on the reader review page.
Are these people don’t have time for good thing rather than bashing a well made film.In pk there wasn’t any seen where they insult Hinduism, Aamir didn’t done anything wrong in temple,or he didn’t said anything against them. even he was entered in church with Coconut and pooja ki thali.Hindu is only a religion where we believes in many god avatars,and in India there is more godmen who fooling people,that’s why they focus more in Hindu.Being a Hindu I don’t have any issue and its not because that I am Aamir fan, I don’t have any problem with omg where Paresh rawal distribute wine in name of gangajal.It was just for fun and eye opener in blind worship.As simple as that.God us one which have different name and different avtars.
@syed In Geeta there is also written that there is only One Bhagwan,who is Nirakar and you can follow him any role. Whether its kuran,Greta or bible has clearly mention that there is one god.PK showed all religions in good ways but its attacking people wrong mentality about God.
PK has also shown about the unpriviledged muslim girls(that scene was acted by Singer Monali Thakur) and the christian guru who was trying to convert hindus into christians. I am also against superstitions. PK mocks the unnecessary division of GOD by certain group of people( hindus,muslims and Christians etc). It never doesn’t mock hinduism,bt mocks the dongi babas and the rules created by human over different religions.
i also believe in god 90% do bt who r against pk didnt watch pk in pk criticise the people who r using religion as their advantage and do dirty politics and earn crores of rupees this is malfunction and according to pk there is 2 kind of god 1.actual god and other one which is made by this godmen and recently mny godmen has arrested fr their bad work so it is pure truth nthng wrong in it
@syed is indirectly mocking hinduism. At least, we hindus are taught to respect other religions unlike this loser @syed.
raj thakrey was one of the 1st to watch and liked it he also said it is must watch he is very conservative hindu politician if any bad thing of hinduism was there he would hv banned it 1st place bt he is intelligent and know the actual fact nt like this stupid illetarate selfish people who r spreading negativity
This site so called indicine trying to run down pk frm before it release they r so jealous but i m hindu i have no problen indicine u nd aamir hater will cry after it will create record hope u publish my comment show some guts
cheap kuddos created trend just bcz they think pk gonna shatterd all previous records so bullshit things see in movie but whoevr watched this movie they knw truth. pk has good msg bt didnt against hindusm. watch it guys really after Barfi this movie had good script. Hats Off to Rajkumar saab
actually movies and religious things don’t be interpretation in it . but some film makers dosent understand like aamir khan .
oh my god was best example .
but Pk failed complete the lord Shiva scene is complete disappointed .
.
I am avoiding this film because I am not favouring and not against any religion .
#boycottPk
So, showing the reality of all these baba’s etc who are selling Hinduism in the name of god is anti Hindu ??
This movie has shown the reality of religion and how it had created wars and endless hate between communities.
India and Pakistan hate each other because of religion. Still to this day, so many danga’s happen in India and innocent people die in it everyday. All in the name of religion.
This is what the real message of the movie. To live and love all people. God is one. He does not need religion to get recognized.
These people are the reason why India is still in dark ages. Religion has not given us anything but hate. These type of examples prove the same thing.
And whT’s this love zihad nonsense. We are all humans . I seriously loved the way they show how beautiful love could be between a pakistani guy and indian girl. Afterall we are all human beings with same red colour blood flowing in our veins.
PK is one of the best film bollywood has ever produced.
PK has a message all Indians should follow.. Love all human beings for who they are irrespective of religion.
A big salute to Rajkumar Hirani from my side.
Only god cam understand PK rancho English…
But he does say something useful…by confirming that he hasn’t watched the movie but already formed an opinion about it…
No body will claim movie to be anti Hindu after watching it….unless of course they r from the army of ram pal, ram ra him, etc…
Btw I m equally against all religions…..
all khan, Hritik, Ajay, Akshay, Ranbir and bollywood fans should come together to protest against such kind of trending……its very unfortunate how some people want to make an issue out of everything…..even muslims have been shown in the film hitting themselves, PK also does that in search of God…..
this is so silly…..all industry , all star fans must jointly ridicule such an act arising out of the imagination of a few jerks!!!!
“Now India is threat for Hindus”-my aunt, who has been living in Mumbai since 2008. She sent me some SMS after watching PK.
why vishwarupam ban at it realese time ?because it hurt islam and then makers cut the controversial part. so why not same for pk?
WTF is this #BoycottPK
bhai ab to thoda insaan ban jao.
aur insaniyat ko samjho aur uski kadar karo.
koi kuch bolta hai aur yeh log suru ho jate hai bina kuch dekhe bina kuch pade bina kuch soche.
get well soon brothers.
PK Review:
After watching PK…one must say that Raj Kumar Hirani without any doubts is No.1 director in the Bollywood Today. A 4 movie old director takes Bollywood movies to such an standard that puts all big names in Bollywood into shame. Why does Bollywood takes so long to produce a good entertainer. This is something because we never push them to do so. Doing action masala movies repeatedly is denting the Bollywood standards big time. However who cares about them unless you get your money back.
Coming to PK: It is not the best movie of Aamir Khan or Raj Kummar Hirani, but it is far by the best movie this year. A big star cast with good message and entertainer is all that is expected and you get it.
The first half of the movie reminds you of Terminator, Koi Mil Gaya but with never seen avatar of human minded alien who loses his signal transmitting device that communicates with his spaceship. Rest of first half deals with how he goes on searching for it. He ends up praying to all GODS to get the device back. When he fails, he tries to convey an message in society that you need to get your logic’s right while executing any activity instead of praying to GODS.To support this, the movie has a love story that has Anushka and Sushant. Sanjay Dutt was good in his supporting role. This movie has its part of let downs as well in terms of entertainment. But strong content takes it to a safe level…
Coming to positives and negatives:
Positives:
1) Raj Kumar Hirani Direction/Execution – He is the ultimate Hero of the movie, who tries to bring a strong message through a never seen before story. Hats off…
2) Aamir Khan: No one can be so perfectionist in executing any role as he does. His was a top-notch performance…
3) Story – I always like to see never seen before things. I am totally against those routine action masala’s. PK’s story is very good..
Negatives:
1) Songs are big letdown. Not even one song is catchy on which you can go gaga.
2) Sushant wasted. Hardly in movie for 10 minutes. After Kai Po Che expectations from him is more.
3) 2nd half should have been more entertaining.
Over and over the movie is good interesting watch with strong content and strong performances… A must see…I go with a rating of 3.5 stars of 5.
#WeSupportPK trending now!
