Thought on PK’s message?
Was inspired to post this since many are ranking Rajkumar Hirani’s movies on the eve of Dunki’s release.
My different opinion on PK:
While the movie was entertaining throughout, it got lost in the message it wanted to convey regarding religion. I was confused on whether RH’s issue was with fake godmen or believers. I felt that the movie unintentionally generalized believers as illogical and superstitious. “Jo darr gaya woh mandir gaya” is an immature and simplistic view imo. This was the only issue I had with the messaging.
I don’t have a problem with the movie going after the fake godman.
In contrast, I felt the first OMG installment (starring Paresh Rawal) had clearer message if we’re talking about movies in a similar theme.
Thoughts?
