I know. I know. The storm in a teacup has blown over. PK is passe. The controversy surrounding the release of the movie is now history. Still, David-Letterman-like, I am posting my ten reasons why PK sucks, for I promised someone that I would pen it. Well, as they say, it is better late than never. So, here goes!
- Reason 10: Rajkumar Hirani's creative juices have dried up so much that he can now direct movies only if the scripts are stolen (a la Three Idiots).
- Reason 9: It is no fun watching an almost three-hour movie featuring Anushka with lips that resemble Donald Duck's beaks. A blown nip-tuck, for sure...hope she has sued her cosmetic surgeon for a zillion bucks...Pray she wins the suit!
- Reason 8: Aamir Khan's goggle-eyed look, Mr.-Spock-like eyebrows and Mickey-Mouse-like ears could scare the hell out of young kids.
- Reason 7: Comical situations in the movie (barring a couple) are so contrived and slapstick that you might as well use feathers to tickle yourself at home for laughs.
- Reason 6: The film could make you believe aliens can outrun all humans except thieves who steal "remote controls"...worse, it could make Usain Bolt a 'remote-thief'!
- Reason 5: The alien portrayed is so human-like (courtesy: an unimaginative director) that you could begin to think all humans are aliens from PK's planet; Theory of Evolution be damned!
- Reason 4: If you are a non-Hindu, you might get offended that your religion is inferior to "Hinduism"...with regard to rituals and blind-beliefs...tsk-tsk!
- Reason 3: Worse, the movie takes potshots at non-Hindu priests, preachers and Godmen as incapable of raising funds in the name of religion. How dare!
- Reason 2: The movie is anti-religious minorities for it portrays Hindus as being more devout and devoted than non-Hindus...damn!
- Reason 1: The producers expect you to BLINDLY believe (without any proof) that humanoid aliens exist... of course, they want you to be rational about the non-existence of a supernatural Almighty!
