‘Don’t watch PK if you don’t like’: Supreme Court rejects ban

The Supreme Court of India has rejected a plea to ban the film, asking the viewers not to watch the film if they don’t like it.

The Aamir Khan and Anushka Sharma starrer has always been surrounded by controversies. The first nude poster, where PK was seen holding a transistor to cover his private parts, was accused of being vulgar.

Later, when the film hit theatres, an NGO called All India Human Rights and Social Justice Front, stated that the film contains certain sequences which are bound to hurt religious and spiritual sentiments of the people, and hence should be banned.

This incident was followed by an F.I.R being lodged against the producers of the film Rajkumar Hirani, Vidhu Vinod Chopra and Sidharth Roy Kapur. There were reports that the F.I.R was filed because the makers have portrayed Lord Shiva in a negative way.

But the supreme court has rejected the ban saying “If you don’t like it, don’t watch the film. Don’t bring religious facets here. These are matters of entertainment. If you restrict it, it will affect others’ rights. Everything is on the internet. What will you hide?” said Chief Justice Of India RM Lodha.

  • @sem yes I didn’t seen hny in theatre, because I don’t got the positive review of my friends who seen the film in diwali weekend, also from the trailer itself I don’t have feel that its a good film.
    Last year when CE released I liked its trailer, film appreciated but I couldn’t get a chance to watch the movie in first weekend, and because of office I can’t see the film on weekdays.I still feel whenever I see CE in TV that if I seen this movie in theatre how much I entertained.Undoubtly its been srk most entertaining film for me since rbndj,talking about insecurity there was a time when I used to watch avg one movie of srk in a year but in recent time he is not making any film which can worth my ticket price.That’s all.And if fan got great reviews specially from my friends than I definitely see that movie.
    But yes I spend money of films which either stars my fav actors or got good appreciation.

  • When WE believed in law?1st salman and now amir’s movie.this is India,here is the place where any thing can can be happened.

    @sky,as expected .you are also nothing from those similar kind of typical Indian masala wannabe classic movie watcher.if a movie has entertainment then only deserve to get huge money otherwise not.it is the same country where people like you loves to watch wannabe classic movies like lagaan/rdb/3i/pk rather than TRUE CLASSIC FILMS LIKE —-MNIK/PAHELI/SWADES/JTHJ.non of those kind of yournamir movies deals with real life situations rather than made in a hapazard illogical way only to entertain the audience.but all of those KING SRK’S movie represents real life situations and deserves to represent actually what THE CLASS is?yes amir has only 2 true classic—-DCH,RDB.rest of all are crap for me.I’m so glad this industry is still making true classic like HAIDER and LUNCH BOX.that’s the real difference between Bollywood and Hollywood.bollywood likes to remain in dream world and Hollywood shows the reality.watch 2013 oscar—-12 years a slave,2012 oscar—-the artist.they will make you realise aboutvTHE CLASS.but you’ll ask about what’s my problem?the thing do celebrate whatever but don’t tell anyone that those movies are classic.amir is a wannabe classic actor.TRUE CLASSIC ACTOR IS ONLY KING SRK.
