I
watched movie PK on 23rd December 2014 on a team outing. I feel compelled to
write a review of the story and message it was conveying.
Movie
start with Amir Khan as a alien who does not know anything about this world.
His mental state is just like a 3 year old boy who believes everything he is
told by others. He is told by people that paying a Mandir will get him his
remote control back so he prayed at Mandir. He is told that praying at Gurdwara
will get him his remote control back so he prayed at Gurdwara. He is told that
paying at Masjid will get his remote control back so he prayed at Masjid.
Later
on Amir Khan became intelligent and social reformer and come to know that
praying at Mandir is wrong and no one should pray at Mandir and people
constructing temples and praying at temples are either fool or fraud. He goes
to temple to get his money back from god because god did not get his work done.
Why Amir Khan did not go to Masjid also to get his money back from Alah because
his work is not done? Why he targeted Mandirs only? Does it have something to
do with fact that Amir Khan himself is a Muslim? I think yes it have everything
to do with him being Muslim.
Amir
Khan started a TV program against construction of temples because as per him
people constructing temple are villain. There is a villain in this movie, he is
called Tapasviji. Villain Tapsviji have the following bad thing:
1. He is motivating people to
donate money for construction of a temple.
2. He is saying that producing
and consuming cigarette is bad.
3. He is saying that consuming
liquor is bad.
Amir
Khan and one other social reformer (Jaggu) is fighting against the social evil
Tapasviji is spreading. Jaggu is shown drinking a bottle of intelligence
enhancing drink (liquor) and Amir Khan who knows everything what is right and
wrong is not saying to her that instead of buying this intelligence enhancing
drink she could have donated food to some poor child and that would have be
better. Amir Khan did not leave an opportunity to say that people should donate
money to poor people instead of donating money to temples.
Why
Amir Khan (PK who is a social reformer now) did not have courage to say that
people should donate money for welfare of poor people instead of buying intelligence
enhancing drinks. 10 times more money gets spent on intelligence
enhancing drink compared to money being spent on religious purpose. Why
social reformer PK was concerned about money being spent on religious purpose
and that too only of Hindus?
I
have seen people distributing food and clothes to poor people at Temple. I have
never seen people distributing food to poor people outside shop of intelligence
enhancing drink. It shows that people who believe in god are kindhearted and
believe in giving to society. Why should a social reformer PK (Amir Khan)
direct all his energy on removing idol worship (which is evil as per Islam) and
not say anything about practice of spending money on intelligence enhancing
drink?
Another
thing which is shown in movie is that a Pakistani man is best lover that an
intelligent Indian girl can get. I don't understand how an Indian girl can
think of marrying a man for whom terrorists who kill innocent Indians are hero.
This movie says that an Indian girl should marry a Pakistani boy if he is
handsome and should not think about his Indian brothers being killed by
brothers of this Pakistani boy. It is not right.
Now
I talked about ending of the movie. In the end it is shown that father of the
girl stops worshiping god and start drinking intelligence enhancing drink and
it is happy ending as per Amir Khan. As per me it is not happy ending at all.
In
the end will like to say that I am do the following things which are
characteristics of a villein as per Amir Khan but I am proud to do and will
keep doing:
1. I do donate and motivate
people to donate money for construction of a temple.
2. I say that producing and
consuming cigarette is bad.
3. I say that consuming liquor
is bad.
