PK: (the same old Bollywood socio-romantic drama, with an ‘alien’ AK and OMG effect!) Undoubtedly PK was the most awaited Hindi film this winter, where RH meets AK again, and promises to re-create the 3 Idiots magic. Not only it fails to give the slightest essence of craft that is expected from the dir-act duo, it drastically clings to a superhuman plot to prove his uniqueness and untamed imagination, incorporating the long known so-called problems of ‘Indian’ taboos, but tries to find an ‘alien’ solution to our earthly(or so much Indian?) problems, yet not finding any! I will not go into the problems (or flaws?) of physics and biology shown in this movie. Why every time an alien from a parallel universe will look like a human being (2hands, 2 legs, digited fingers, 2 ears, 2 eyes, 2 balls, %$@ etc..etc..). Even if we look in our own world, we can find a million kind of different forms of sustaining life..take a snake, a butterfly, a spider, anything..). I don’t think there is a cause to believe yet that the intelligent life-form of a parallel universe (or some other planet on some other galaxy or whatever shit it may be..) will look and function identical as a human body. (Everything that Hollywood does may not be always perfect!) # Imagination level reaching below threshold! Adding more to that, that 1 looks like an ‘Indian’ human being (ethnicity, skin color, hair color), landing in India only.. (COINCIDENCE?? Whatever..) Only if that was the only coincidence of the film! Moving on, it addresses EVERY possible issue that we face a problem today. May it be the inter-religion relationship, the OMG effect, the terrorism (showing ONE blast out of no-where, and COINCIDENTALLY enough poor SD dies on that blast only!), the condom issue, the dancing car, the inactivity and bribery of the police, the media-hype, so on and so forth! Yet, RH fails to give a solution to any one of these problems and just remains satisfied with his eye candy heroine getting back her lost love, and his ‘alien’ gets its lost ‘transmitter’ (Duh..)! Summing up though there is a lot more to say, an alien comes to a third world country and points out its problems, loses his ‘remote’ to a local thief, tries to learn the local language from a whore (with its humanlike yet USB ‘hands’), and then addresses his problem to the police and then to ‘God’ to get it back. And in doing so it echoes the questions what PR asked in OMG a year ago, and finally to fulfill the Indian movie making protocol to make the protagonist fall in love with the leading lady (Even if it is an alien), falls in love(?) with the human girl and sings and dances for her! Whoa, if AS has the ability to make an alien dance in her tunes, what more can we ask for from this industry now? Well, I need some sleeping pills not only to sleep that over, but also sleep over the fact that the whole nation is going gaga over this film only because its RH and AK, and as the media (and maybe some of your friends) say so! N.B: “A story is as good as the story teller is”. RH proved it time and again in his previous works. But this time it comes out just a rotten mix veg cooked with rotten Indian spices, yet missing its flavors. P.S: 1. AK’s acting is brilliant as always. But the rest of the cast is just immensely underused. 2. Too many bad songs to handle. 3. Some cinematographic brilliance is seen in the dunes. 4. The cameo of @#^&$ % in the end was fun!
