We
live in a world where we have to face contradiction from everyone right from
the day we were born. Every one of us have a different perspective to look at
things that we built up in the due course of time depending on the various
scenarios we encountered since puerility which makes the world apart.
Attempting to bring such a world in unison is the silliest mistake a person does
in his/her entire life because just like no to persons are born alike no two great
minds think alike. Being said that if someone asks you what you can do to the
person right next to you for living in the same planet as you do, you just
simply can say that I don’t want to mess around with one’s head given the range
of problems that one already had and my limited exposure on one’s life. Every
sane person on this lost world knows for sure that the misery arising out of
one’s own life can and will only be solved by the person himself if nobody
plays god or superior. It was just a matter of time for a person to figure out
the appropriate tangible solution for a problem with a gentle peace of mind.
PK
is a docile film with a seemingly acceptable plot point a talented star cast a
large canvas and a good heart (Only ostensible) but none of them comes under
the category of reality. Amir Khan is a versatile actor among his
contemporaries and I liked him watching on screen for the actor he was and the
charisma he has. When people try to entertain me I accept it cause it takes me
away from reality and when the same people start preaching messages about
trust, life, love, faith, Philanthropy etc., I am not a very good listener for various reasons. It
also comes as a surprise to anyone who watched this film since its self-referential
speaking about the wrong numbers that were mentioned in the film.Well how can
I be sure that this film is not one of them? No right? Hence I don’t want to talk
about them. The oldest and lamest excuse one shows to find out a wrong number
is asking the wrong number to remove poverty in the continent which is impossible
even for a few hundred right numbers put together as a team, come on aren't we
the one in the new millennium that crossed the planets with a moderate budget.
One
can confidently say that this film will garner huge audience for the kind of
wrong number it is and the promising false hope it gives to the not so demanding
movie goer. Am I jealous or am I over analyzing things that are supposed to be
left alone, may be or may be not but the thing is I believe in a motto called
don’t give advice when you are not asked for and don’t mess around when there
is nobody to guide. The story is quite simple as long as you stop asking about logic and the extreme cinematic liberties that the makers had taken. It was a make
believe tale where you are left with a gullible alien protagonist who searches
for a way back home only to be deceived by the managers of god. If I were to be
in that position I would have immediately searched my remote using the powers I
had left the god forsaken planet although it’s not appreciated sometimes it
happens to be reasonable answer because right from the beginning it’s never my
battle making me a busy body.
Talking
about the similarities in the film I can correlate the subject under discussion
as a modern day retelling of “Barrister Parvatheesam” a light hearted novel by Mokkapati Narasimha Sastry. Although both of them are not aborigines one can sense the
similarities in the characterization of PK and BP. Technically speaking there
is nothing a film can offer for the impending, persisting and overbearing
problems that exist in the real time environment which is the reason why it’s
called fiction with a disclaimer of course. When we attain a benchmark in our
respective field we feel a sense of pride in us which wrongly puts us in a
state of superiority. Is the effort towards PK sincere? Well it’s the actual
intention of the movie makers that decides. What we are trying to perceive and
what it is that we really need in our lives. Is it someone to say that we are
wrong so as to worship him as our hero? All our lives we have been waiting for miracles
to happen knowing ignoring the fact about the miracles a mind can create.
Finally the one and only wrong number that you are going
to get is the person right next to you. Thank you one and all.
