[While the "Hindu" organisations are screaming mad, carrying out vandalising protests, demanding ban and what not, common Hindus have, in their own inconspicuous ways, voted massively in favour of the film. The film, as it appears, is set to emerge as the Bollywood’s highest grossing film ever, till date.]

PK, that stars actor Aamir Khan as an alien stranded on earth after the remote control to his spaceship was stolen, made Rs 300 crore in its third week in India, film trade analyst and critic Taran Adarsh tweeted on Sunday. Interestingly, the top three films to have first scored the 100, 200 and 300 crore milestone are all Khan starrers. “#Ghajini first *Hindi* film to cross ₹ 100 cr. #3Idiots first *Hindi* film to cross ₹ 200 cr. #PK first *Hindi* film to cross ₹ 300 cr,” Adarsh tweeted. “PK all set to cross ₹ 300 cr today [Sunday; Day 17]. Becomes first *Hindi* film to attain the feat in India. Breakup in next tweet,” he had tweeted earlier. The film made Rs 6.85 cr on Friday and Rs 8.32 cr on Saturday, taking the grand total to Rs 293.84 cr net in India business till early Sunday. Adarsh said it was an “all time blockbuster”. As protests against the film continued, the producers of the film said it has broken the record of 'Dhoom 3' since its release on December 19. The film has faced criticism by right-wing organisations who said the Rajkumar Hirani-directed film disrespects Hindu religion, an allegation rejected by its makers. Hirani, 52, said the film's word-of-mouth performance has been overwhelming. "I had never in my wildest dreams thought this film will cross these numbers. It reinforces faith that content is king. We can continue making films we believe in. The messages I get are overwhelming. People are watching the film over and over again. It's humbling," the director said in a statement. Aamir-starrer 'Dhoom 3' is second biggest earner with Rs 271.82 crores followed by Salman Khan starrer 'Kick' (Rs 244 crores) and Shah Rukh Khan's 'Chennai Express' (Rs 228 crores). Writing for Times of India, Chidanand Rajghatta predicted that the film might even cross the $100 million (Rs 630 crores) mark. “Raj Kumar Hirani/Amir Khan's controversial PK might well be the first Hindi film to stagger across the line….PK’s international receipts in the first two weeks are said to be Rs 122 crores ($20 million), bringing the overall collection to Rs 400 crores ($63 million). Some estimates put the total revenue of the film, including music and video rights, at Rs 516 crores ($82 million), which would bring it just shy of Dhoom 3, which is said to have grossed Rs 542 crores ($86 million) to occupy top place. Since PK still has legs, it is almost certain to beat that record,” Rajghatta said. The Daily Mail said PK has globally grossed Rs 544 crore in two weeks since its release around Christmas, overtaking the Rs 542-crore worldwide collection of Dhoom 3. This takes into account both global and India collections. The film raises questions about men who exploit religion and blackmail millions of devotees for personal gains. Hindu groups have protested against the film saying that it insults Hinduism. Activists have burnt posters of the film and ransacked cinema houses.

Written by Sunitra Pacheco | Posted: January 2, 2015 4:10 pm | Updated: January 2, 2015 7:49 pm Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan’s latest release ‘PK’ became Bollywood’s highest grossing film of all time in India. PK collected more than Rs. 276 crore in two weeks of its release. Expectations from Aamir Khan’s ‘PK’ were sky high and the film has surely delivered. PK has overtaken Aamir Khan’s earlier movie Dhoom:3. Prior to PK, Dhoom 3 and Chennai Express, had also earned close to Rs. 265 cr and Rs. 258 cr in domestic market respectively. Trade analyst Komal Nahta took to Twitter to share the latest information. Directed by Rajkumar Hirani, ‘PK’ revolves around the concept of blind belief and Godmen. The movie has got its share of criticism from few religious groups who demanded its ban. The film had an impressive opening, but the recent controversies had affected its collection in the last couple of days. Religious groups went on a rampage in places like Ahmedabad and Bhopal, smashing theatres that were screening the film and demanded a ban on ‘PK’. In Agra, protesters accused Aamir Khan of double standards and suggested the actor move to Pakistan. However, looks like the film has picked up.

JAI SRI RAM.!!! ~ Upananda Brahmachari, Ed. Hindu Existence in FaceBook. Hindu Demand 5 reasons to protest against ‘PK’. 1. Movie Insults Hindu Gods and Customs : for example – scene of Aamir Khan (PK) chasing a person dressed as Lord Shiva) b. Movie makes mockery of customs in Hindu Dharma like Serving fodder to cow, Offering milk for ‘abhishek’ on Shivlinga etc. c. Movie says that ‘Those who fear, go to temples’ thereby insulting Hindus’ belief on God d. Movie mocks Hindus who visit a pilgrim site or shrine which is hundreds of kilometers away from their home 2. Insult to Hindu Saints : Movie depicts Hindu Saints and Sadhus in very poor light. It also shows that Hindu Sadhus are fanning communal hatred among Hindus against non-Hindus. 3. Encourages Love Jihad : Love Jihad is mocked and termed as imaginary. The female actress is in ‘love’ with a Pakistani Love Jihadi. One should note that Aamir Khan himself is Love Jihadi who married 2 Hindu women (Divorced the first one) 4. Glorifies the Enemy : Movie tries to establish that Pakistani men are very nice and non-violent (even though most of the terrorists in India are backed by Pakistanis and the school curriculum in Pakistan teaches hatred against Hindus and Bharat). 5. Anti-national links : Dr. Subramanian Swamy has questioned the source of funding for the movie; saying that there are threads leading to Pakistan’s ISI. -- Peace Is Doable -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Green Youth Movement" group.
