PK, A Few Observations

I finally watched PK the other day. It's alright. On the milder side really. Doesn't directly confront the institution of religion itself.

After reading all the dazzling public reviews and recommendations on Facebook and Twitter, I finally watched PK the other day. I think it’s alright. On the milder side really. Doesn’t directly confront the institution of religion itself.

Which brings me to another observation: Is PK partly getting the love from the educated Pakistani Muslim middle-class because it supports the increasingly popular wish among this demographic to return to the core of Islam — shunning all that they deem ‘later innovations’ (or Biddat)?

P.S. The love between a Pakistani boy and an Indian girl was cute, though with a bit of unrealistic drama at the end. Before you ask, yes, I would have equally liked it even if the boy were an Indian. Staunch supporter of cross-border love affairs here.
