- Narayan Subramaniyam ?@yesitsnarayan: #BoycottPK once again confirms that religion is so fragile that people start over-reacting to no end. Jobless bhakts at work again.
- Tinu Cherian Abraham ?@tinucherian: Bhakts are trending #BoycottPK. Then it must be a sensible film. Now planning to watch it. Had no plans earlier.
- Suman Gangopadhyay ?@sgangopadhyay: So, the movie of Amir Khan insults #Hindu religion. This is secularism which means insulting Hinduism in India. Well Done !
- Saffronizer ?@a_sdeo: Hindus are the soft target for movies because we may get angry, encourage boycotts, hold protests but we rarely threaten violence. #BoycottPK

- 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!
Looser indian hindu public.Looser aamir. If u have guts make film on anti islam. Now anti islam movie called baby is coming. It wont earn more than 110 cr coz of our looser public. Anti hindu earns more in india than anti islam.
All these people doing these kind of things are fools . They are the biggest losers in the world . Whenever we say why India is still not a developed country there are many reasons for it – Corruption, Black Money, Cleanliness etc. One of the most important reasons according to me is the regressive mentality of Indian people . Indians are less educated as compared to western countries . Agar yeh log padhe likhe bhi hai toh main inhe kahoongaa – Paddhe Likhe Gavaar . If they do not like the movie they can tweet that PK is a bad movie and they should not recommend this movie to their friends . But there is no need to do all this bullshit . Even in the case of Haider they said it is an Anti- Indian Movie . I agree some scenes in Haider were bold and brutal but the plot is shown in 1995 and that time Kashmir was really unsafe and there was political insurgency . But now in 2014 J&K is safe . I agree there have been many instances where there have been attacks . When Haider ended they also thanked the Indian Army for their fighting spirit and dedication they showed while rescuing people . All this is nothing but ‘Chutzpah’ .

But we got no problem with making Gadar the huge blockbuster it was when its storyline was of a muslim boy falling in love with a sikh girl or was it the other way round…? That kind of love n struggle excites the audience hence rich boy falls in love with poor girl or vice versa were successful formulaes for romcom stories for decades- its better than knowing of a boy n girl from middle class backgrounds from liberal families falling in love n nothing goes wrong in their preparations for their wedding- that would be a real entertainer no doubt in your household right…?
This trend if silly- bollywood is often accused of being anti islam by portraying muslims as mafioso n terrorists but now its being accused by the hardliners of being anti hindu- when will the madness end and when will the loons migrate to Paglapur where backward thinking is the norm
@hindustani
Another duplicate ID- you hide behind that ID bcoz you ashamed to come out n tell us what your real identity is- stop spreading nonsense/ negativity when you dont have the guts to put a name next to your opinion- you deserve no explanation as you are a nobody just a made up ID of a hater/ coward…!
I support #boycottpk.
Pakistani hockey players came here,showed middle finger to the crowd.
But we fool indians give lot of respect to these moron pakistanis.
Why has hirani casted Sushant as pakistani muslim?
He could have shown him as an indian muslim.
Raanjhana was not released in pakistan just becoz a hindu guy loved a muslim girl in it,even though that was shot very well.
Ett was banned in pak when ind guy loved a pak girl,why???
Here we have kissing scenes,but we poor indians tolerate all this.
@syed 8:36pm
Your point being what….
Its best if we end this discussion right here n now or else PKs message will get lost and we all once again start quibbling over who’s God was hurt in the movie and who’s spiritual leaders were made to look fraudulent- its best if we all heed Gods words that you can speak directly to him through prayer so lets do that in the comfort of our own home with our dearest and loved ones without telling others how best to do it or going to a middle man- we have been given this power by God so lets utilise it for ourself. Peace to everyone
@dynamic aka the daddy of duplication….
Forget pakistan as our movies earn so little from there and remember Gadar which was a record breaking movie or Border which was full of patriotism that made every indian smile ear to ear…. We have had our fair share of anti pakistan sentimental movies to last a lifetime so lets not get touchy over a film here there that come around once a yr- we are bigger than this but not sure if the paglapurians are as to them veer zaara was acceptable but not pk as roles were switched of girl being indian and boy pakistani- grow up baby dynamic
i am srk fan but support aamir on this topic,these idiots don’t know any standard…they can live without breathing but they can’t survive even 24hrs widout abusing someone.They also boycotted mnik for no reason
GOD SAKE stop it friends because in Myanmar so many people die in 2013 about religion clashes. Who want watch pk then watch pk. Who don’t want to watch pk then no watch. Please don’t fight each other. I already face in myanmar. I’m Hindu Buddhist but i respect all religion. I live in street 90th in Yangon. Last month fight about religion in Tea shop in 93rd street (near police station) but small issue. Please don’t fight each other.
It’s.a shameful thing they insulted THE ALMIGHTY LORD SHIVA.shame on an actor like amir khan.bigger shame on raju hirani/vvc who are HINDUS.
Today I ashamed of myself as an HINDU,because I couldn’t stand against my relegion and such disgusting things are happening in this country.shame on every HINDU who are ignoring it.where is that dhongi shove senas,why they are not stopping this film that they did before many years ago with MNIK which has no relation hurt scenes.though I watched this in film still I have tortured with in myself as no one puts dig against it.they have no rights to play sentiments of HINDUS.boycott pk.

@sss : wud you have said same if Srk had done PK ???? Be honest !!!!!!!!!
With due respect all my Hindu brothers, Any true Hindu will say n accept that idols are just the way to worship to accept God in some form n for concentration reason. In reality, they also worship the lone super power who created this universe. As Aamir says in PK climax, now there are 2 kinds of God. One who is a real God who created all of us n another who is created by some Sadhus n Babas for their own benefits. In Islam, we have been taught to respect other religions even if we dont believein it. Because if we insult other religions they will insult our religion. Its a mutual world. Islam doesnt teach extremism or violence but it also teaches us not be cowards when the tolerance is beyond limit. Personally, I think PK was slightly over line n little bias against one religion but again thats the reality, Islam & Christianity doesnt believe in multiple Gods. In India Religion is very sensitive subject hence this why we have such negative reactions. PK gives message about humanity, love n equality why cant such people see the other side of coin ?? Finally, the negative opinions are individuals n not as a community or group. One minister claims on National news channels that his party will turn whole India into Hindu Rashtra by 2012 & they will eradicate other religions from India. Why cant we have a trend #Banbiasminister on Social networking ?? Why my fellow Indians ? why my compatriots or countrymen ? Why ??
– From an Indian
Correction : sorry by year 2021
@syed is a loser and people like him spread hatred
The plot of Pakistan angel was unnecessary and they could have done without it. The actress in love with Pakistani boy .And AK tries to prove and say “Muslim are not untrustworthy etc but why try to bring Pakistan?? Just to have collection in Pakistan. Also Why not show reverse: Hindu Guy and muslim girl from Pakistan?
PK FRIST TEN DAYS 200CR AFTER 20 DAYS 300 THAT SURE MOVIE JUMP 300.
AND ALSO NO ANY MOVIE RELESE BEFORE 9JAN SO MOVIE GO WITHOUT STOP.
@hrithik 12:14am
Welcome back buddy…
No ofcourse sss khan (when did this loon become a hindu- if he is then I as a part hindu want him exiled as he brings shame upon us) will support Sarkar as PK bcoz Sarkar as PK will claim he is God to all humans and our sss complan boy khan will kneel down n bow to his king sarook forsaking all other gods be it hindu, muslim, christian Gods….!
@viv there were many movie before times gadar ,veer zaara etc Pakistani woman n Indian guy ..it is cinema everything will happen in this
India is the only country where you can make movies criticizing cultural and traditional practices of 90% of the population and still the citizens of this country will pay to watch your movie and say -“what a movie…4 stars….5 stars…what a brilliant piece of acting!!!” and even after watching this shit shown to them will continue to remain indulge in the same activities which the movie makes fun of. HATS OFF to the tolerance (or stupidity ) of this country…
Naveen if hindustani is not a identity then who is Naveen. even you are no guts to write your full name.i thik you are not read my comment properly. where are I ‘m say bad about pk. I say if some seen are controversial so why not cut those seen. if less then 1 or 2 % Muslim people[not every Muslim brother] are thik vishwarupam is anti islam and some state are ban it till cut the controversial seen. then why not pk producer cut controversial seen if [I think up to 5%] hundu want same things. and I am not spear negativity about pk . if indicine or other site fully post not spear negativity then only my one comment kya ukhad lega. and do’nt bash any write their name. this is not your facebook page. this is a open site and everyone is free to write their own comment.
Aamir is promoting the film way out of the normal ways.
As the film was not trending on itself, another marketing gimmick.
if the film is good. people will go watch it.
other wise its gonna suck.
so stop these fooling around.
PK has had a huge weekend of around 92.50 crore nett. The film had a start which was not up to the mark at places but on Sunday it had extraordinary numbers all over with all circuits at record levels or close to record levels.
The film grossed 26 crore nett on Friday, 29.50 crore nett on Saturday and 37 crore nett on Sunday. The business is being driven by multiplexes with multiplex to single screen ratio much higher when compared to other big blockbusters. The trend of the film is phenomenal with a 11 crore nett gain on Sunday from Friday.
This can happen when a film is very lopsided towards multiplex collections as Saturday and Sunday are best days for multiplex collections. The mass centres were excellent on Sunday and if this continues it will post a huge lifetime total, possibly the biggest ever.THIS A BIG SLAP TO HATERS.
The people who are trending boycott pk are worthless scumbags . Pk is an epic movie and nothing is going to stop it.
@indicine : There was no need for indicine to propagate this nonsense. Indicine i request you to kindly remove this horrible post. We support pk completely.
I like pk. Pk is good film. But a problem is there that i notice. I noticed that pk is targetting mainly hindu religion.
If you have this king of story then you should target all religion, not one.
Otherwise don’t make this kind of movie that targetting any religion.
According to me, OMG oh my god is far better than PK. Becouse of omg’s ending or climax is very good ( god is everywhere at end of omg )
@navin,I told earlier also ,I know you want to know my full name so that you can bash me.but your treachery behind associating my name with khan was known by me from the very 1st time when you did I that.so indulged that surname khan with pleasure and said you once I do r expect every religion for what reason I didn’t force muself to go against in that topic.BTW my surname existed in the last S of my short form name-SSS .In relegion BTW my relegion is HINDU and caste is BRAHMIN.
another thing this overrated retake-tionist half actor couldn’t even come.HF closer to KING KHAN’S Acting Intensity.so don’t cry,this year’s best performance is HAIDER and Best actor is Shahid rather than your alien tingu you classless movie watcher.
