#PKDebate: Should Aamir Khan Starrer 'PK' be Banned?; Viewers React

Controversies are nothing new for the latest Aamir Khan-Anushka Sharma starrer "PK". The film, directed by Rajkumar Hirani has been the hot topic for debates ever since the makers released its first look poster, featuring naked Aamir with a transistor. 

The film witnessed many controversies after some religious outfits claimed that the film has hurt the sentiments of Hindu community and an FIR was filed in the Supreme Court of India to ban the film. Recently, yoga guru Baba Ramdev also asked his followers and Hindu devotees to boycott the romantic comedy drama.

"The movie hurts the sentiments of Hindus, it should be banned immediately," Hindu Sena national president Vishnu Gupta told IANS.

However, many viewers have also reacted on the matter with #PKDebate, which has been trending on major social media networks across the world.

If #Gharwapsi can be allowed, why not screening of PK. After all, constitutionally, we are secular nation with freedom of speech #PKdebate

Unfortunately due to the #PKdebate, an average film will get high viewership. Ban a book to make it a bestseller. Every God was a blasphemer

PK should not be banned, neither should play on Nathuram Godse. Also all scenes in movie Viswaroopam should be reinstated. #PKdebate

if you are so insecure that your faith is threatened by a movie, you should reconsider your definition of religion #PKdebate #PK

Isn't a faith over a movie? If a movie is questioning your faith come up with answers not hatred or criticism. #PKdebate #PK

PK has hurt my scientific sentiments. How on earth can an alien look exactly like Homo sapiens on arrival? What are the odds? #PKdebate

#PKdebate Don't care much about any religion myself, but I'd be ok with PK if Aamir Khan had had the balls to make a similar film on Islam

Narendra Pandey

In place on vandalizing theaters like Taliban why don't 'pseudo nationalists' fight the battle of #PKdebate in court. Have back of Govt too.

Sameer

PK strongly biased against Hindus (incidentally the major character is a Muslim). Wish there was something strong on Islam #PKdebate

Shuchi Singh Kalra

The only thing that bothered me in PK were Anushka's new shark lips. My sentiments were seriously hurt. Is anybody even listening?#PKdebate

Mincy Mohan

Its ridiculous 4 certain groups 2 cal 4 banning f #PK.Wt a marvelous work! A movie wid no masala nd sensible stuff aftr a long tym.#PKdebate

PK showed the practices of all the religions. What's wrong if it said 'instead of pouring milk on Shiv ji, give it to poors'? #PKdebate

"PK", which released on 19 December, shows the superstar as an alien who is fascinated by India. The film also stars Anushka Sharma, Sanjay Dutt, Boman Irani and Sushant Singh Rajput in lead roles.
