Very well said, All the movies mentioned above are hits — “3 Idiots,” in fact, was the first film to gross over Rs.200 crore at the box office. You don’t make that kind of money without love from all sections of the audience, especially from Hindus, who make up most of our nation. And if they don’t mind this lighthearted mocking, then who are these others, from opportunistic political parties, to take up cudgels on their behalf? Don’t they realise that movies are like elections? People wait patiently in line, go to the counter, and cast their vote by buying a ticket. So when a film like “PK” becomes this kind of a blockbuster — it’s practically guaranteed to cross the Rs.300 crore mark, the first Indian film to do so — then it means that it has been approved by an overwhelming majority. The people have spoken. On the one hand, you hear that the Maharashtra government has asked the police to “look into” the content of the film. On the other, the boxofficeindia site predicts that “PK” may be the first film to collect Rs.100 crore in the Mumbai circuit alone. You have to ask the question: Who’s really being offended here? thehindu/opinion/op-ed/comment-on-pk-movie-controversy/article6745645.ece
