We hear a lot of noise against Aamir and his acted PK. Please consider
the following:
a. Financier, Director, Writer, Producer, Dialogues, Distributors, Music
maker, Screenplay writer and most of the actors are Hindus. Just one actor
cannot be singled out for the whole film. And those Hindus are no enemies of
Hindus, or have been known to be disrespectful of Hinduism. Hirani's 3 Idiots,
Munnabhai MBBS, etc are celebrated movies. And why disrespect the judgement of
those millions of cinegoers that spent a whopping Rs.200 crore watching the
movie?
b. If most of Aamir's friends, characters, stories and business partners
are [with and about] Hindus, what wrong if he were to choose the Hindu gods as
the subject of his latest film. Isn't this consistent with his work and record?
c. Going by his SatyaMevaJayate series and patriotic advertising one
ought not to suspect his integrity, and his love for India and respect for
Hinduism. For all you know he may be genuinely concerned about the "Religious
managers" amongst us all, specially amongst the Hindus. Should that be so,
should we be thanking him or condemning? Will this misplaced criticism not take
away from him his commitment to serve India and Hindus in the future.
d. Isn't the message of the film powerful and positive for the long term
good of Hindus?
Does it remotely appear to be smacking of insult to Hinduism? [How I wish
someone made such a powerful film about Muslim managers! I was so happy about
the Pakistani films Khuda Kay LiyeaurBol were very critical of a lot of Islamic
/ Muslim practices but they turned out best grossers of Pakistan.
e. How can you morally fault the Salman Rushdie and TaslimaNasreen
baiters?
f. I have seen the film and am positive that none of the people involved
looked at the angel of insult to Hinduism. Indeed, there is enough to suggest
that the film is critical of all religious managers. Yes the emphasis is on
Hindus and Hinduism. But should it be different in a 80% Hindu country?
Theoretically if he were to make an Islam-focused film and completely ignore
Hindus, would that appear a greater commitment and love for India/Hindus?
g. If all Indians are Hindus, then why take away from Aamir the same
rights that you grant to PareshRaval? How come OMG is ok but PK is not?
h. L K Advani has praised the film and hailed it as a bold attempt at
reform. Remeber, until Modi's ascension you hailed him as the icon of Hindutva.
i. If Aamir gets demoralized and shuts up his SMJ series and other
creative work will this serve the Hindus and India better?
j. Still if you feel bad about the film, just issue public appeals, even
advertisements requesting people NOT TO WATCH the film. But how can you damage
the theatres, intimidate the audience and the artistes and physically obstruct
the movie? Is there something called the rule of law?
k. If Muslims remain isolated and ghettoized you blame them for not
working with the mainstream, but if they do, you want them to operate with
ghetto mentality. What would they do?
Please examine the veracity of these statements and reconsider your
opposition to a film that I believe will only enhance Hindu good.
