The movie titled PK, released on December 19, 2014 was loved by many viewers and at the same time criticized by a lot of spectators. This movie has been in many controversies after its release which has crossed the earnings of 200 Cr in India. Have you watched the movie?? What do you think about it??
I watched this movie twice and would recommend it to everyone. One was a coincidence when I was offered the tickets for the show on the second day of release and had no idea on what the movie was about. Since recently I have been particular on choosing movies, and when the trailer did not appeal to me, I thought I would give this movie a skip. I was then convinced by my best friend on how I would thoroughly enjoy the movie and it would be on my favorite list once I watch it. He was correct and this movie indeed stands on top of my list among the category of 2014 movies. That’s when I took my parents for the movie. The first cinema experience that I remember watching with them.
The movie is interesting and perfectly made with a nice story-line with awesome acting and gives out a very strong message. Majority of people say that the movie is like OMG, a satirical comedy drama released back in 2012. Both the movies are very different and a part of PK is concentrated towards religion and the belief on the omnipresent. The movie shows various other factors that revolve around the mankind. It shows how complicated our lives are and how we make the smallest things complex. This is depicted through an individual from a far away land who is surprised on how different the systems are and the strange rules which are followed.
The best part is how the movie is synchronized, the ones who have watched the movie would relate to the various traditions and rules of each religion that I am going to talk about. There is a scene which shows how the actor wears slippers and enters the church, whereas the same is not allowed in temples, how he wants to offer wine in the mosque and is beaten, while the same is offered in the church. How there are different lines for rich and the poor in famous temples. It is so strange to realize once again that there are various ways of praying, some stand, some bow down, some kneel in front of God. Even if everyone respects the one, there are innumerable stalls and pandals at the time of festivity and every day in a week is celebrated on a different name, when all are the same.
In the same way, the attire and the representation of each religion are followed till date. When the widow wears white in Hindu religion, and the same colored dress is worn by the Christians at the time of wedding, one for sorrow and the latter for happiness. The color black is for funeral and grief within Christians whereas it is the traditional color of dress for Muslim ladies. It shows how the look of a person discriminates the religion, which is no longer true.
The three hour movie also shows how people are fearful and when they are frightened they chose the other methods when the answer to all their questions is within themselves. It talks about how terrorism is spread and mankind is on the decline and civilization is deteriorating. It also states that the right thing is to believe in the omnipresent directly and not choosing different ways to accept the Supreme. The movie beautifully portrays the activities which are carried out in our everyday lives which do not have any reasoning but is still accepted.
The movie which gives us a reality check on the happenings around us which complements a feel good style of honest and innocent story telling.
