‘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.

    1) fan and raees will do 150cr-175cr which will 1st week of ranbir’s tamasha.
    2) prdp=225cr. Bb=225cr. But tamsha=350cr jagga=300cr.

    5) ajay devgn shivay lifetime will be 1st week of bombay velvet.
    6) emraan hasmi mr x and hamari adhuri kahani lifetime is weekend of 2day of bombay velvet.
    Haha.. Varun-sid,ranveer n all don’t come even in comparison.
    Thatzwhy, ranbir is undisputed ruler of box office.

  • pk… rocks….
    pk is unstoppable…..
    can’t believe…. pk is going to be all time blockbuster….
    love u aamir..

  • The only film that should have been banned is Happy New Year.
    Definition of corruption: Taking money for things you promise to do but don’t do.
    So HNY is a corrupt film, which promise entertainment, loot audience and then bore them.

  • well done by court and well said.
    not all people are the same everybody has his/her own opinion and mostly agree with the movie

  • Nice!!!

    This message should also be passed on some sarook moronic fans like romance, iamKN, sss who are hiding their faces in their undies!!

  • @ Suchit or Navin or whatever- If Dhoom 2 was a blockbuster because of John, then he should be a bigger star than Hrithik which he isn’t, which was John’s last solo hit film ???

    Before Dhoom 2 Aishwarya Rai was finished remember the disaster Umrao Jaan. Doing 2-3 low budget Hollywood films doesn’t mean global popularity.

    If Hrithik is a big star because of his father then tell me why Fardeen, Zayed, Bobby deol, Riteish Deshmukh, Tushaar Kapoor, Abhishek Bachchan, Jacky Bhagnani, etc. who had more influential fathers are not bigger stars than Hrithik ???

    Even Aamir Khan is in the industry because of his uncle Nasir Hussein, who was one of the biggest producers of Bollywood, launched him with Qayamat se qayamat tak. Just changing his last name from Hussein to Khan doesn’t mean Aamir delivered the success on his own.
    How many blockbusters (not hits) Aamir had between 1988-2008 ?
    Not even 5.

    U r right Aamir in his own league, that’s the league of MANIPULATION by hiking ticket prices of Ghajini, 3 Idiots, Dhoom 3 n PK. All these films had no competition from other big starred or critically acclaimed films.

    Even Salman is better than Aamir bcoz his said that hiking ticket prices is a BAD practice.
    Hence proved, u r a moron.

  • Some foolish people are soughting ban over such a brilliant movie like pk.Says a lot about the mental status of such people. Pk is the best movie of the year,period.

  • I have seen OMG again yesterday,that film was totally against Murti Pooja that mostly done by Hindus, That film also got troubled by Hindu well wisher but that was less,that film had hard hitting dialogue on Hindu culture than PK,but it satisfy us because Akshay shown as God Krishna.
    But PK got most threat from them only reason.
    Aamir Khan and he is Muslim and central character,99% of cast and crew was Hindu.
    Second thing film is biggest success.
    @sem follow that what sc said either watch the film or not.Why I said srk Pakistani,because as per @romance We can’t tolerate pakis as hero,srk father belong to Peshawar so he is pakistani,What is interesting Srk can say Pakistani player should play IPL,as we fan we support him,hny had abusive language and word but given U certificate,now you say Its censer duty,than its sc duty whether they ban film or not.Makers can apply for tax free status,its decision of govt.
    You had no problem with Ra1,it was shown as kid movie when promoted, hny got u certificate while pk has u/a while both film deserve only u/a but hny had u.Aamir can’t be nude or use offensive word being a alien but we have no objection of strip teasing of junior b in hny.First be nuetrul in the objective thing,I bet if it was srk film you won’t bother.OMG had more objectionable thing on Hindu religion but I don’t have against while pk had element like that than why I go against for the same, you don’t have any problem with hny,ra1 and also omg but you have against pk because its Aamir film.
    Second thing look your nos of comment on hny or other srk post and noe on pk.You hardly commented on other post but doing frequently against Aamir.Do I need to say anymore what affecting you more,its not boi or content.its Aamir.

  • @anand, all those star u mentioned don’t have the famous calculator of Rakeshji……The calculator played bigger role than his papa for hrithik’s success.

  • Kudos to the judgement.

    @ All, who thinks or who wants to deliberately give it a twist, that it hurt hinduism, here is my take.

    80% of Indians are Hindu. It is the oldgest religion in the world dating to thousands of years. It has evolved, changed and accepted new things. That is the only reason that it has survived thousands of years.

    However, many things have corrupted it, like blind faith, which only takes this school of thought viz., hindusim and its practice, to the stoneage.

    There is a need for such films, like OMG and PK to make the majority of us realise what kind of silliness are we being involved in the name of relgiion.

    India was the most developing nation until the annexure of it by moghuls and then british which led to stagnate its development in every field including – education and even its thoughts and culture. It never flourished as it was supposed to be.

    When you get stagnated for 100s of years your thoughts never develop and only dirt settles your mind.

    The new generation is taking a step forward, we should embrace new culture and development, but most importantly bring new and logical thinking in our actions and deeds.

    Nothing in this world will survive if it does not evolve, adapt or change.

    Let us not have the tribal mentality.

    Look around, population who moved from the forests and caves – made new towns and cities, they are communication from around the world, they move around in space. They progressed.

    While the ones left in the jungles are still The Tribals.

    A society or religion that stands against change will bite the dust eventually. They will be left with a measly population just like the tribals, ignored and banished from the developing world.

    Human beings have historically survived because they embraced change, they adapted to new conditions.

    These are signs of a rising young minds of India, which will take this country to new heights.

    I will not talk about the minorities here, cuz if the majority changes, the minorities will follow. If they do not, let them be the tribals of the future.

    Let us, the new generation, be the ones who start this revolution of new thinking and new thoughts.

    Let our country advance and be the best in the world.

    PK Rocks!!

  • I repeatedly saying this that pk movie can never get bannedas the theme of the moviethat idolworship is wrong and Jesus is not God is true. Pk says that God is only one who created all ofus. Remove the fakeGods who take money and meet the rich quickly but make the poor wait for hours in Queue. Amazing movie which is teaching Islam.

  • @Tiger- Even if Krrish 3 has done only 180 cr(which only the corrupt website BOI.com reported) business, it is still a huge blockbuster according to Indicine.
    Ur favourite website BOI.com reported that Besharam will open bigger than Chennai Express n it will be one of the biggest blockbuster of 2013.
    Krrish 3 was the next big release after YJHD, so it was given lower lifetime total than YJHD.
    Now u explain me who had bribed BOI to do so, of course Ranbir’s PR agents.
    If u want to compare Hrithik’s stardom with Ranbir’s then Bang Bang n Besharam are the best examples as both released on Gandhi jayanti.
    Both films had bad word of mouth, still Bang Bang managed to be a Hit while Besharam was a flop. Also keep in mind that Bang Bang competed with a critically acclaimed film Haider n it also lost some 1500 screens to Haider.
    In ur previous reply to me u pointed that Kites n Guzaarish were flops but any sensible person will tell u that both were expiremental films which were tragedies n not out n out commercial films like Besharam.
    Now if only last hope for u to prove Ranbir is a bigger star than Hrithik is that Bombay Velvet, Jagga Jasoos n Tamasha will have to do more than 26 crores business on first Friday.
    Till then keep dreaming.

  • @ sky on the name of mordanity and name of freedom of express is it right to moking on god for you?
