Viewers Confused Over PK; Trending Both ‘#SupportPK’ And ‘#BoycottPK’ Tweets


Rajkumar Hirani’s recently released film PK, starring Aamir Khan and Anushka Sharma, is ringing all the bells at box office—after all, the movie has collected more than Rs 92 crores in the first three days of its release.

The movie revolves around an alien who visits the planet earth only to be bewildered by the way people here function in the name of religion and God. Those who have watched Akshay Kumar’s OMG – Oh My God!—will surely relate with the way Aamir’s character puts a question mark on how we blindly follow anything in the name of God and religion.

However, given the fact that the plot involves a Godman from a specific religion has not gone too well with some of the audiences, resulting in the Twitter trend #BoycottPK. The tweets come from the followers of that particular religion, asking why the makers targeted one religion and not many others that have been wronging the society.

Well, boycotting a particular film for one reason or the other is very common in India. However, PK has set a new record here as well. While on one hand, the hashtag #BoycottPK is trending, the liberal audience is also trying hard to trend the hashtag #WeSupportPK, which by the way has become the number one trend in India.

This fight between these two opposite hashtags surely makes for an interesting watch. As far as we think, the film has been released and is doing well, regardless of the viewers’ notions.

Well, let’s just say that any publicity is good publicity.
